“The legend of the camel bell” show is worthwhile to see when you are in Xi’an. The show venue is far from the city’s center, and it is not convenient to access by metro. We went with Ping’s tour. They picked us up from the hotel in a private car and brought us back to our hotel after the show. They also get us the entrance tickets. It is recommended to go for VIP seating. This show’s story line is about those who faced dangers and surmounted obstacles traveling the Silk Road from Chang’An (today Xian) to Europe in ancient times. It features 4 real camels and real wolves, even a waterfall (beware of water spray). The setting is great as the performance runs on a huge rotating turntable. Ping provides a story’s summary in English before the show, but there are subtitles in the venue as well. The show is ~1 hour.

We had an awesome experience. Mr Zhang is really friendly, helpful and polite. Inspite of the language barrier, we found a way to communicate via online translators. He ensured that we knew what to expect, he assisted us in the purchase of the tickets, he showed us around and made sure we knew where to meet him after the show. The car was clean and really comfortable. A really good experience. The show was really good too. Loads of elements were incorporated into the production. The props and stages were well put together.

An amazing hour-long performance (we went at 3:00 PM). Tells about a journey along the Silk Road from China to Europe. Each amazing part is presented in a separate setting as the huge auditorium rotates. The set is very elaborate and the actors' costumes are stunning. Snow in one setting, rain in another, and huge waterfalls, camels, and real huskies in the show! Highly recommended

Ping’s Tours recommended Legend of Camel Bell as a theatre immersion into the Silk Road history of Xian. It was fabulous. This true extravaganza features wolves, camels, fabulous dance, magnificent costumes and stages and design like I’ve never seen. This is highly recommended. There’s a lot to do in Xian but make an evening if this - you won’t go wrong.

The show was absolutely marvellous! The seating stage actually turns for each performance stage performance chapter! The driver Mr Zhang was so friendly and helpful! We had a great chat throughout the trip. Car is fab! Clean and comfy with perfect temperature. Thanks to the organiser Ping, who was so helpful with all tips and updates, it was the most fascinating experience for us in Xi'an! 🩷

This is an absolute must-do if you're in the xi’an area! It's a wonderful show: the colours, action, costumes, the huge stages, everything! The entire audience seating area rotates four times during the show. There are four massive stages, with everything from waterfalls and fountains, acrobatics, dogs parading as wolves, and camels. The show itself is an absolute extravaganza of color, song, and beauty. We were so happy we went to this show. It's just a short drive from xi’an and so worth the time. We used cindy sun ([email protected] of https://www.pingstours.com/index.php/ChinaTour.html) to arrange our drive; the driver picked us up right from the hotel and then waited for us, driving us back to our hotel after the show, and he was very nice and professional.
