The most unforgettable thing about this trip to Lhasa was watching the large-scale stage play "Princess Wencheng". It was really shocking!
The performance used the majestic mountains and rivers as a natural curtain, the bright starry sky as the stage lights, and the 360° starry sky real scene light and shadow and 3D surround sound effects intertwined, instantly pulling me back to the legendary years of the marriage between Tang and Tibet more than 1,300 years ago. Hundreds of actors devoted themselves wholeheartedly, and every expression and every movement was full of affection, vividly interpreting the touching story of Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo knowing and falling in love, recreating that magnificent history. Especially the clips of "Da Aga" and Tibetan opera performances, the unique charm of Tibetan culture was fully revealed, which feasted my eyes.
The whole plot is cleverly arranged, from Songtsen Gampo sending Lu Dongzan to Tang to propose marriage, to successfully marrying Princess Wencheng after passing the test of wisdom, to Princess Wencheng bidding farewell to Chang'an and embarking on a long journey westward after going through hardships. The plot is ups and downs and exciting, which made me deeply feel the great love spirit of Han-Tibetan harmony and beauty. When the giant background of the Potala Palace slowly appeared at the end, the audience was shocked by the magnificent scene and burst into warm applause involuntarily. This stage play is not only an audio-visual feast, but also a rare opportunity to deeply understand the historical and cultural exchanges between Han and Tibetans. You must not miss it when you come to Lhasa!
