Monday night after a long, confusing day of traveling, Melyssa and I decided to book seats at the “Tang Dynasty Show”. The Tang Dynasty Show is a famous, traditional Chinese song and dance performance in Xian. The Tang Dynasty Show is also a dinner show, serving traditional Chinese dumplings!
The show and the dumplings were absolutely amazing! The show itself was really interesting, with all of the elaborate Chinese outfits and costumes, the traditional live Chinese music and musicians, and the choreographed dancing! My favorite part of the show was a performance where the ladies danced in silk dresses with really long sleeves! The sleeves were so long that they looked kind of the like “ribbon dancers” that I used to play with when I was a little girl! The ladies on stage danced, spun, and twirled their arms around as their ribbon-like sleeves did the same!
The dumpling dinner was also spectacular! The dumplings were delicious! We had all kinds of dumplings…carrot, duck, fish, ham, pork, chicken, cabbage, walnut...most were steamed and a few were fried! It was so fun because some of the dumplings were made to look like the filling of the dumpling. So the cabbage dumplings were green and in the shape of a cabbage, the duck filled dumpling looked just like a duck, the pork dumpling like a pig, and the fish dumpling like a fish!
