Great show. Rotating amphitheater in the center of a circular building with stages set on the perimeter. Unique experience and good performance with dogs trained as wolves running around on stage. Story okay but the poor camels were just led around, up and down to provide cohesion to the story. Worthwhile seeing but not friendly to people with walking disabilities. No elevator or escalator to access seats. Have to go up one big flight of approximately 40+ steps, then another set of stairs for each seating section. Then you reverse this obstacle course when exiting. Booking the show with round trip transfer is the way to go. Driver escorts you to get tickets then wait for you to return. The place is full of people and trying to a ride back is a breeze with round trip transfers.

Itinerary
The start time is the hotel pick up time.The show will start at about 1hour or 1.5 hour later.After the show the driver will send travelers back to the hotel. Xi 'an Huaxia Cultural Tourism Grand Theater is designed as a large ellipsoid building 142 meters long, 128 meters wide and about 50 meters high, which can accommodate 3,000 people to watch performances at the same time.As the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, Chang 'an has a long history and is also the starting point of the Silk Road. The wind and sand of history can bury the bones of heroes, but the spirit of our ancestors remains forever. Through time and space, looking back on the past, the ear came the crisp camel bell on the Silk Road, and the eyes saw the wisp of curling lone smoke in the vast desert. The bits and pieces of the ancient Silk Road will be reproduced in front of your eyes together with high-tech live-action performances and wonderful performances of actors, so that you can feel the experience.

We booked tickets for the Legend of the Camel Bell show through Trip.com. I want to make it clear that Trip.com was not the issue. Their customer service team was professional, responsive, and made repeated efforts to help us throughout this situation. Unfortunately, our experience with the supplier was extremely disappointing. During the booking process, I selected 20 June for our tickets. However, when the booking was completed, the reservation had been made for 19 June instead. This was not the date I selected, and I found the booking system confusing and unreliable. As soon as I discovered the issue, I contacted Trip.com, who repeatedly reached out to the supplier on our behalf. Despite this, the supplier refused to allow a date change, refund, credit, or any alternative solution. Their position was simply that an e-ticket had already been generated and therefore nothing could be changed. This booking was for five travellers, so the financial loss was significant. We were unable to use any of the tickets because we would not even be in Xi'an on the booked date. Despite raising the issue promptly, the supplier showed no flexibility whatsoever. In my view, any reputable company should have a reasonable process for resolving genuine booking errors. Instead, we were left with five unusable tickets and no assistance. Based on this experience, I would encourage other travellers to exercise caution when booking this show through any platform. While others may have a positive experience attending the show itself, my experience with their booking and customer service processes was extremely disappointing. Travellers should be aware that there appears to be little to no flexibility if a booking issue arises, even when it is reported promptly.
We visited here after our visit to the Terracotta Warriors. It was a surprise for us as we were not expecting it. During the earlier visit to the warriors we had lunch there and also met the original finder of the statues who with his mate saw them when digging for water. Anyway, our guide got us tickets here for the show which talked about the history of the Silk Road. It had camels and wolves on show and at one point there was a wolf fighting with one of the actors right in front of us. There is a lovely scene with a waterfall too and during the show the stage moves around. The actors are beautifully dressed and there is a translation service on monitors for non- Chinese visitors so the show is easy to follow. Totally unexpected but beautiful to watch and it takes an hour of so for the show to run from beginning to end.
Overly enjoyed the 1-hour show of the Silk Road Show. Tickets were easy to obtain along with return transfers from our Hotel. The atmosphere was delightful, I wish we arrived earlier so that we could check out the stalls, and markets as there were also Camel Rides available. Overall a great show which wasn't sold out, and had ample seats available. Big screen available in English so that you can follow the show's story. Popcorn, Sausages, Drinks available to purchase before entering the show, otherwise Staff walking around with refreshments to purchase. This show is suitable for all ages 4 years and up.
An absolute spectacle ! The entire audience is seated on a moving carousel that moves everyone from scene set to scene set, combined with backdrop visuals and amazing experience. When the live wolves chase the actors you cannot believe your eyes .!!
Very good show, well prepare and beautiful.
Norah was absolutely amazing in helping us organise this experience. She got us transport to the show and then to see the lantern show after, which she helped book too. She also got us upgrade to better seats for the show, we loved it! Our driver was amazing and got us there on time and provided super clear instructions. Overall this experience was great, the show is definitely worth seeing and if you don't speak much Chinese Norah was amazing, so helpful and will recommend sooo much.
If it’s your first time in China, I would recommend it. Our tour included a transfer that was prompt and efficient. However, if you’ve seen similar shows elsewhere in China, it’s something you may want to weigh, considering the time required to attend the roughly one-hour show and the cost involved.
Hmm? How do I even begin to describe this show? Part circus, part show, part CGI with amazing special effects, and hey, a true joy that'll leave you grinning for some time to come. The show is in a dome-like hard bench seat setting that may not seem like much at the start, but stick around! for an extravaganza that will leave you amazed at the show and gifted actors as well! It's a Silk Road show with a rotating stage that will have you in an ancient Chinese village, with a camel train (live camels) and actors taking along the Silk Road to Venice and Rome, with a dust storm, winter snows, wolf attacks (with well trained dogs as the wolves), waterfalls with, oh I dunno, what looked to be a thousand gallons or more of actual water with maybe some CGI that gave it authenticity, mountain shrines, a Rome-like setting, and then back again to the court of the Emperor and finally home. There's a storyline that weaves its way through the program with a small screen in English that explains what's going on. There are dancers, martial arts scenes against bandits, and yep, live camels parading by every now and then. We enjoyed this so much we're still chuckling at trying to explain it. It is well worth the entry fee. Keep in mind it's an hour out of the main part of town but it was a great sightseeing adventure.
It was my first time and day in Xian alone. The workers and driver were incredibly patient and made me feel less anxious. They picked me up right at my hotel entrance and back, introduced the city and made necessary accommodations. The show was also very worth the watch. I definitely recommend this if you want to learn more about Chinese history!
Very nice show with spectacular scenes! Nice to watch and learn a bit about the history of the Silk Road.There are subtitles available so it’s easy to follow. Very good transport service as well. Recommendation to book while in Xi’an! We took the afternoon show which was great to escape the heat as well ;)
We are tourists from Australia. We can highly recommend this awesome show. Better than we expected. Amazing props with real waterfalls, real camels, and the wolf scene is amazing with real dogs. From snow storms, erecting volcanoes, wonderful performances and costumes. One of the best shows we have seen.
Took my breath away! The show is astounding- enormous sets which incorporate digital backdrops and constructed mountains, houses, gardens, and scenery. The tiered seating rotates every 10 minutes revealing a completely different stage. Not wishing to give too many spoilers, I would just say that I didn’t want the show to end and would see it again in a heartbeat! There were many pieces which had plenty of drama, and the use of live animals - who clearly looked happy and well-looked after, added a joyful element to the whole experience. The show will delight you no matter how old or young you are! Highly recommended.
It was my only night in Xian. I made the purchase 3 hours before the show and received the car at the hotel where I was staying. All with clear and objective communication. On the way to the theater, I was informed by the company that the tickets I purchased were no longer available and to maintain my visit they upgraded the tickets for free. Perfect service. Wonderful show. It's my first review on a travel platform. I don't usually do it, but this time it is a form of gratitude, because without the effort of the people who helped me, I and my family wouldn't have been able to see the show.
Show based on the Silk Road, immersive, large-format, with high-tech scenography (it was a large 360-degree rotating auditorium). It is located inside the Huaxia Cultural Tourism Xi'an resort. This show is very similar to the one offered at the Spanish park Puy du Fou in Toledo, specifically the one dedicated to El Cid Campeador. It is very similar, but the dimensions are larger in Xi’an. Special effects, real animals, many performers… it is a great show and it is very worth seeing.
Spectacular, wonderful and exciting. Makes you cry, it is amazing. Never before have we experienced the same, unrivalled experience.
The show takes place in a purpose-built stadium. It is located in the north-east of the city, about 40 minutes by car. Service includes a round trip transfer to the show and assistance in collecting the ticket and finding the entrance. The driver was very professional and the car impeccable. The show itself had everything to impress the world, rotating platform, water pouring in large quantities, dogs running around the room and multiple camels. The production is impeccable and relatively tasteful. The show contains several scenes and the platform where the audience is located moves from one scene to the next. The show is motivated by the current government's desire to recall the history of the region's economic and cultural ties with the rest of the world. Beyond this political will, it is a show that can be appreciated for many of its artistic qualities, staging and technical challenges.
They were comfortable picking me up and dropping me off. They were so nice and flexible to change destinations on the way home. I recommend it.
