Authentic and Interactive Lingnan Culture ​This was a unique experience compared to similar shows I’ve seen in Beijing and Shanghai. Even though it is on a smaller scale, the performance was top-notch with a talented cast of about 12 people handling all the acts at a great pace. I highly recommend the VIP seats for the best view. The level 2 costume and makeup selection is excellent—if you rent a costume, you get a free photo shoot, so definitely arrive early to take advantage of that! They give you one free photo, and you have the option to buy more if you like them. The host was very interactive and I even won a free tea and a fortune cat! The staff were friendly and the food was decent, though the meat options weren't ideal for us as we don't eat lamb. A high-quality, intimate cultural experience!

Great views of the city. The Canton Tower and the skyscrapers in the city are all beautifully lit. You should definitely go for the second or third floor option, seated outside on the roof. When I clicked the pick up location through the confirmation mail or the app, it was incorrect. The dock is right in front of Canton Tower at the riverside.
