The fire-spitting, face-changing shadow puppet show is a one-stop intangible cultural heritage performance that's absolutely spectacular.

Located at the North Square of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, this all-in-one cultural showcase might become Xi'an's next viral hotspot. It wouldn't be surprising if future visitors to Xi'an consider this a must-visit attraction. The performances here are not only amazing but also diverse - featuring Ansai waist drumming, northern Shaanxi storytelling, face-changing with fire-spitting, Qinqiang opera, and shadow puppetry. The content appeals to all ages, and the enthusiastic applause from both children and adults in the audience speaks volumes about how wonderful the shows are. With multiple performances scheduled every day of the week, you can catch a show anytime you visit. The cultural creative souvenirs in the theater are also great - the automatically extending and retracting golden cudgel is particularly fascinating. Kids simply can't resist it and will definitely want to take one home.

Just hopped from Kuala Lumpur to the ancient vibes of Xi’an 🇨🇳, caught a quick layover in Xianyang. Here’s my quick-hit list of historical icons, culture bombs, and local hacks to maximize your trip! Must-See Places: 1. Xi’an Drum Tower (No. 74, North Courtyard, Lianhu District) – Open late, tickets end at 21:00. The views and traditional drum shows are a blast! Pro tip: Visit around sunset for epic photos. 2. Bell Tower and Drum Tower Square (No. 1 West Street, Beiyuanmen) – The heartbeat of Xi’an, especially lively in the evening. Don’t miss the night lights! 3. Terra-Cotta Warriors No. 1 Pit (Lintong District, east of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum) – Go early to dodge the crowds, and stretch those legs—the pit is big. 4. Xi’an City Wall Ride – Cycle along ancient ramparts (08:00-20:00), great city views. Rent your bike near the South Gate. 5. Dayan Pagoda North Square – Chill spot for people-watching and local snacks. Evening fountain shows are a must! 6. Xi’an Muslim Quarter – Foodie haven. Try biangbiang noodles and roujiamo (Chinese burger). It’s super walkable from Drum Tower. Travel Tips: Get around Xi’an using local buses or DiDi for quick hops—bikes rock for the city wall! At Amsterdam’s Museumplein, use the trams. If overnight in Xianyang, JI Hotel at the airport is comfy (perfect for early flights). Foodie Gold: Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter is THE spot for cheap, tasty eats; Amsterdam’s stroopwafels are a must-grab at local cafes. Key Notes: Bring cash for smaller shops, check attraction opening times (they vary by season!), and dress in layers—Xi’an’s weather shifts fast. #XiAnBucketList #AmsterdamMuseums #ChinaFoodie #TravelTips #tripdotcom
