Xi'an's most famous evening combines its two iconic intangible heritages. Arrive at the Tang Dynasty Theater at 6:30pm for the Dumpling Banquet — an 18-style tasting menu where each dumpling represents a different Tang-court delicacy, shaped like ducks, pomegranates, walnuts, and pearls. At 8:30pm, the Tang Dynasty Music & Dance Show begins: a 75-minute production performed by the Shaanxi Provincial Song & Dance Theater with reconstructed Tang court costumes, flying-sleeve choreography, and traditional pipa, guzheng, and bell music. Private hotel transfer included.
