The food is good and have a very good presentation for each dish. The service staff is good and they are very helpful to take pictures with you even with the performers. The performances is good if you know the Chinese history well especially they act the different scenes of the ancient Tang dynasty!

Great experience! Just take note for the ladies, if you’d like the hair tie, you would need to get the make up as well then they will do your hair with the hair tie included! Great food and entertainment in an immersive setting! Would recommend at least try once to experience!

On my way to Shanghai from Korea, I saw a performance with my mother in her 60s, and she loved it. Thank you to the Xu Yan team for the good experience. I want to emphasize that my mother loved it. Thank you.

Definitely worth going once! Intriguing storyline even though I do not fully understand with the language barrier, but food was good and at the end of it I was full! Partner was gluten-free and they were able to provide substitutes while providing the same experience!

Definitely worth a visit for the experience. Aside from having the option to don the traditional costumes, there were many props set out for you to take pictures. The performance was pretty engaging too. Performers moved around and you will definitely be able to see them from anywhere if you are seated on the ground floor. No need for the VIP class if you ask me. Only difference is the additional dish.
