    It was a very average experience. Without seeing the performances, the ticket price didn't seem worth it, but the performances cost extra, resulting in low attendance and a lack of vibrancy. The overall experience wasn't great, and they need to adjust their operational strategy. The only redeeming quality was that it was suitable for taking photos in traditional Chinese costumes because there were fewer people.

    Venue rather small than expected, but immersive experience with the many NPCs makes the visit really worthwhile. Looked high & low in Xi’an for 火晶柿子 from the drama series, but it can only be found here! Highly recommended to try it, indeed delicious. Also recommend 石头拌饭 in the food street. At times may feel somewhat constrained due to the small venue cos not that much space to stroll around & different performances take place on rotation more or less around same spots, but despite so can still easily spend an entire day here if chasing after the various scheduled performances. Will still come here again when next visit Xi’an!

    I initially thought it was suitable for a small museum, but once inside, I was truly amazed. I was deeply moved by the meticulous craftsmanship of the artisans throughout history, which allowed the brilliant Chinese civilization to be passed down to the world for us to admire.

    Bringing the kids to Xi'an, the Xi'an Ancient Town Scenic Area was a delightful surprise! The performance was fantastic, and my child clapped excitedly when the flying apsaras soared overhead. The children's play area was safe and fun; he played there for a full two hours and didn't want to leave. Finally, we went to the water play area. The pool was very clean, and the staff were very attentive, so we adults felt reassured. As long as the kids were happy, it was all worth it!
