Dance Drama

M66***53

The theater is not big, but the performance is very exciting! The one I went to happened to receive foreign tour groups. The hosts were all bilingual. The whole venue was full of cheers! Light singing and dancing, silk bamboo, let me also experience a song and dance of ancient royal nobles. Compared with the famous performance, I prefer such a pure national art performance, a bit like the difference between traffic stars and old artists, no technology, all ruthless! There are many intangible performances I have seen for the first time, I really feel that the national is the best!

Shanxi Gewu Da Theater

Performances

I have seen both performances at the Shaanxi Opera Theater, and they are both very exciting! The theater is not big. The Tang Music and Dance performance just happened to receive foreign tour groups. The hosts were all bilingual, and the whole audience was full of cheers! The light singing and dancing, the sheng and xiao, and the bamboo and string music made me experience the prosperity and peace of the ancient kings and nobles. The Qin Wawa performance had shadow puppetry, puppetry, Qinqiang, opera, and hosts full of local characteristics. The whole audience was full of old artists who were national first-class actors. Although there were not many audiences, they still performed hard. Compared with very famous performances, I prefer such pure national art performances, which is a bit like the difference between traffic stars and old artists. There is no technology, and it is all hard work! There are many, many intangible cultural heritage performances that I have seen for the first time. I really think that the national ones are the best! It&rsquo;s a pity that too many people have not appreciated such high-level performances. I sincerely hope that our intangible cultural heritage stage will be full in the future, and every show will be full, so that our Shaanxi national cultural heritage will be passed on, so that more people can enjoy such great performances!

M31***34

Xi&#39;an is worthy of being the ancient capital of 13 dynasties. I like this city very much. The Xi&#39;an City Wall should be a must-visit point when visiting Xi&#39;an. It is worth a visit, but I remind everyone to eat a full meal before going to the city wall, bring some drinks and snacks, and it is best to go with friends, it is boring to go alone

Xi'an Bell Tower

M76***15

It is worth visiting the ancient capital of Xi&#39;an, the lush Chang&#39;an City, the bell tower, the special snacks, mutton soup, spicy soup, roujiamo, gourd chicken, Weijia Liangpi cold noodles, the Xiaonanmen morning market, and the Xi&#39;an city wall.

Tang Paradise

139***07

It is a big park, the scenery can also be suitable for wearing Hanfu to take pictures, but the tickets for 120 people still feel expensive. There are a few small shows during the day, and the night view of the lights at night is better. If the tickets can be cheaper, it would be better! (I found that Xi&#39;an&#39;s attractions basically require tickets, the big attractions are more than 100, and the small attractions have dozens. . . )
