Review for: Song of Everlasting Regret Performance Ticket (First Show)

Excellent outdoor show with a mountain as the backdrop to the stage. The stage and performances will blow you away. It is one of a kind. Arrive early to take photos, as the scenery and area is beautiful. Highly recommended.

Review for: Song of Everlasting Regret Performance Ticket (First Show)

If you're traveling to Xi'an, China, the Terracotta Army and the Chang恨歌 (Song of Everlasting Regret) show are definitely the highlights. I looked around on various platforms, and only Klook was selling VIP tickets, so I booked it right away. VIP has a different entrance, a waiting area before the show, and tea and coffee are provided. I was worried about the February performance, so I bundled up, but Xi'an in February was warmer than I expected. Best of all, the seats were heated! They also provided warm tea, so I was able to watch the show without being cold. It was great.

Great show, highly recommended! The only reason I lose points is because of the booking date. I tried twice to book tickets for different days that were shown as available. After paying, I immediately received a cancellation email with information about the refund. Finally, I managed to get a ticket for the next best category. However, I received an email saying that the time had been changed to 10 p.m. and that only one ticket was available for that time. Otherwise, I could get a full refund. I gratefully accepted. Communication via email went smoothly. If you are a bit flexible with your time, you shouldn't miss the show. It's spectacular! At the venue, an employee approached me about priority entry for a price of around €7. They said that around 3,200 people would be attending the show and that there would therefore be long queues. I could wait in the back with a cup of tea and would then be shown to my seat. I accepted the offer. The waiting area was next to the stage. There was tea and sunflower seeds to snack on. Unfortunately, the extra cost wasn't worth it. I was just taken to the stairs where my seat category was. Most of the other guests were already there and I was one of the last. I had to ask for my seat. I can't recommend the priority access. The show lasts 1 hour. Public transport was no longer available at 11pm. But it was no problem getting a taxi from the taxi stand at the metro station. It took us just over an hour to get to the hotel and I only paid €13.15 - super cheap compared to Germany.

The stage production and the performance is amazing. Best to understand the story before going to the show so that you are able to have a clearly understanding on the overall performance. The show is outdoor so it will be cold during winter, just have to keep yourself warm.

Review for: Song of Everlasting Regret Performance Ticket (First Show)

This was, without a doubt, one of the most sensational shows I’ve ever seen in my life. Set against the majestic backdrop of Huaqing Palace in Xi’an, the entire performance was nothing short of spectacular. Everything—from the sheer scale of the production, with its incredible number of dancers and performers, to the stunning costumes and choreography—was executed with absolute precision and artistry. The use of special effects was masterful, incorporating fire, water, and lighting in ways that made the entire show feel magical and immersive. What stood out most was how beautifully the show integrated the natural and historical scenery of Huaqing Palace. They transformed the palace into a living, breathing stage. At one point the temple on the hill lit up and the hill was covered in what looked like stars and the moon. It was breathtaking in every sense. The music, the movement, the atmosphere—it all came together to create an unforgettable experience. If you’re ever in Xi’an, this is something you absolutely must see. Please note, it is an outdoor performance so dress accordingly!

The Song of Everlasting Sorrow is an evening performance, with impressive lighting and stage effects. The entire Huaqing Pool and Mount Li are transformed into part of the stage, which is quite remarkable.
