Location & Transportation

Show Highlights

The Dream Back To Tang Dynasty Show is a 70-minute dance epic that brings the Tang Dynasty back to life. It’s split into six chapters: Dreamlike Robes, Inviting the Emperor, Huaqing Pool’s Dream, Western Regions’ Charm, Stroll by Qujiang, and Return to the Tang. Each scene uses colorful costumes, live music, and mind-blowing lighting to transport you to ancient China. Think of it as a mix between a history lesson and a magic show—with no boring lectures!

Cultural Experience

This isn’t just a show; it’s a time machine! The Tang Dynasty was Xi’an’s “golden age”—a period of art, poetry, and global trade. The performance combines traditional dance (like swirling silk dresses) with modern tech (laser effects, moving stages). You’ll see emperors, poets, and even camel traders from the Silk Road. Even if you don’t know Chinese history, the vibrant energy and emotional storytelling make it easy to enjoy.

Theater & Amenities

The Fengming Jintian Theater is designed like a palace hall, with red pillars and golden details. Inside, there are comfy seats, air conditioning, and clear English subtitles for key scenes. Before or after the show, explore the Tang Paradise gardens—they look like a royal garden with lakes, pagodas, and lanterns. Nearby, you’ll find food stalls serving noodles or meat skewers, plus shops selling Tang-themed souvenirs (think mini terracotta warriors or silk fans).

Tips for Visitors

  • Tickets: Buy online ahead of time (around ¥288–¥588) to save time. - Timing: Shows run daily at 7:30 PM; summer evenings are especially magical. - What to bring: A light jacket (the theater can get chilly) and your phone for photos (no flash!). - For kids: The colorful costumes and music might fascinate them, but the 70-minute length could feel long.

Why It’s Worth It

The Dream Back To Tang Dynasty Show is more than a performance—it’s Xi’an’s cultural heartbeat. Even if you’ve seen other Tang-themed shows, this one stands out for its immersive staging and emotional depth. Afterward, stroll through the lit-up Tang Paradise and imagine what life was like in this ancient capital. Trust me, your photos will look like they’re straight out of a Chinese painting!
