This attraction gets very good reviews. I consider it must be separated into two parts - the food and the show. In terms of the food - very average. The review of the food by Kyokokinura accords with my view. If I was a reviewing the food only I would give this 1 star. However the show is good quality. Colourful, skilful and interesting. I am not sure how valuable it is in terms of understanding Chinese history. Would I recommend this? Certainly not for the food (and it is possible to take a 'no food' show). The show is good - but not a 'must not miss'.

My wife and I attended the Shaanxi Dinner Theater at the strong recommendation of our local guide, Holly. The Dumpling Banquet, as she called it was very enjoyable. Before the show we were treated to a delicious meal of Chinese delights as our waitress brought us plate after plate of many various visually appealing and tasty dumplings. Some were made to look like fish or ducks or animals. After the filling meal, the staff cleared the tables and the show began. Before each segment began, the Emperor and Empress introduced and explained, in Chinese and in English, the significance and the meaning of the traditional Chinese music and the dance which followed.The musicians played traditional Chinese instruments, a few of which were quite unusual to us. The costumes were gorgeous and the dancing was graceful and well choreographed. Yes, this dinner theater was designed for tourists, but we were tourists and we enjoyed this glimpse of Chinese culture.I would recommend this dinner theater, including the meal, for visitors to Xi'an.

But it's just one of those things you have to go and do. Considering it's not really my thing I have to say it was well staged and interesting. We chose not to have the meal which was probably a mistake as it looked really good.

We have been to this theater last year, and i watch it again this time. It is very good cultural show which can not be missed.
