Dream Back to Tang Dynasty
A visit to Xi’an is not complete without experiencing the spectacular Tang Dynasty Dinner Show, one of the city’s most popular evening cultural performances. Combining traditional Chinese cuisine with music, dance, costumes, and historical storytelling, the show offers visitors a fascinating journey back to the golden age of the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD).
Usually accompanied by a delicious dumpling banquet, the Tang Dynasty Dinner Show allows travelers to enjoy both authentic local flavors and the artistic achievements of ancient China in one unforgettable evening.
Dumpling Banquet Experience
Before the performance begins, guests can enjoy a traditional Chinese dumpling dinner. Dumplings have a history of more than 1,800 years in China and have developed from a simple household food into an important symbol of family reunion, celebration, and hospitality.
During the dinner, visitors can taste a wide variety of dumplings with different fillings, including:
* Pork
* Beef
* Fish
* Vegetables
* Spinach
* Other regional specialties
The carefully prepared dumpling feast introduces guests to one of the most beloved elements of Chinese cuisine while preparing them for the cultural performance.
A Journey Back to the Tang Dynasty
The Tang Dynasty was one of the most prosperous periods in Chinese history. It was an era of economic development, international exchange, poetry, painting, music, and dance.
During this golden age, Chang’an (present-day Xi’an) was the capital of the empire and one of the largest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world.
The Tang Dynasty Dinner Show recreates the elegance and grandeur of this period through:
* Traditional music
* Classical dance
* Historical costumes
* Stage performances
* Chinese martial arts
The performers wear Tang-style robes with flowing silk sleeves and use traditional instruments to recreate the artistic atmosphere of ancient Chang’an.
Highlights of the Tang Dynasty Show
The performance is usually divided into several major sections, each presenting a different aspect of Tang culture.
Traditional Instrumental Music
At the beginning of the show, musicians perform with traditional Chinese instruments, including some that were popular during the Tang Dynasty but are rarely seen today.
The beautiful melodies reflect the sophistication of ancient Chinese musical traditions.
Colorful Costume Dance
The dancers wear magnificent Tang-style costumes and perform elegant movements inspired by historical records and artistic traditions.
The combination of flowing fabrics, graceful gestures, and traditional music creates a dreamlike atmosphere.
Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat Dance
The most famous performance is the Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat Dance (Ni Chang Yu Yi Wu).
Originally created during the Tang Dynasty, this legendary dance was associated with Emperor Xuanzong and represents the highest achievements of Tang court performance art.
With elegant movements, colorful costumes, and beautiful music, the dance recreates the luxury and refinement of imperial entertainment.
War Dance and Martial Arts
The show also includes energetic performances featuring:
* War dances
* Ribbons and scarves
* Fans
* Chinese kung fu
These dynamic performances demonstrate the diversity of Tang cultural traditions.

For international visitors, it offers an easy and enjoyable way to understand:
* The prosperity of ancient Xi’an
