Booked with Silk Road Angel Tours, I got confirmation the day before, got picked up from my hotel and brought to the location of the show by Steven. The communication was clear and easy. It was very convenient and Steven could explain things to me in English. The show itself was nice with nice visuals, music and dance. There were English subtitles allowing foreigner guests to follow. I was excepting more live singing and instrument playing, but most was pre-registered. Still very nice performance and convenient organization by Silk Road Angel Tours.
