We went to see a water show in Hangzhou and it was absolutely incredible! It looked like the performers were floating on the water. If I’m ever in Xi’an again, I’ll definitely check out the water show at the hot springs!
The whole water element is what I think makes it so amazing! Especially how they use the mountain to light up to different scenes, truly spectacular!
Such an amazing variety of things to do in Xian … another reason why I can’t wait to get to China!
I would love to read about your take on Xi’an when you visit! 🙂 I am sure you will love it, especially cycling around the city walls!
We loved Xian! The best food we had in China was at a small hole in the wall that a local sent us to down an alley near the drum tower. It was a very large bowl of braised chicken and we ate it all. I almost licked the pan. I just stumbled on your site and I was happy to read this blog. Brings back memories of our time there. I agree the water treatment in the shows are awesome to. Cheers! -JR
