THE BEST PRODUCTION EVER. Show was impressive...fire on the water it was just BEAUTIFUL!!! Dinner was not impressive and food was too spicy to eat.
My husband and I were in Xian for 5 days, and since I speak Mandarin, so instead of joining a tour, we decided to customize the trip on our own.I came across this package and though was skeptical at first, I decided to give it a go. Boy, little did I know that we were in for a treat! We met Peter at the designated area, and he escorted us to the dining area and has stayed with us through out the whole dinner with detailed explanation for each course and attentive services. After the dinner, we were escorted to the area where the show is being performed, and we again, were blown away by the quality of the show. The design of the production, from stage design to lighting, to costume and special effects were simply mesmerizing. It's a show with music and dance without dialogue except for occasional background narratives between scenes,so if you don't understand Mandarin, you are still able to enjoy the show. The quality of this package exceeded every expectation we had and more. If we travel to Xian again, we will definitely purchase the package again. I highly recommend this package to anyone who travels to Xian.
Fabulous, just fabulous. You have to see this show to believe it. The only minor thing is a transportation issue since this place is a bit away from the center of Xi'an. I hope the organizer will make it more accessible to the place by providing more firm options. I had my driver drop off and had him pick me up after the show. Apparently there are bus services from the city but the place was full of people and it didn't look simple to get on the bus...
