Xi'an Eternal Love: Immersive Theater Meets Ancient History

Xi'an Eternal Love (西安千古情) is a spectacular theatrical theme park that brings ancient Chinese history to life through cutting-edge stage technology. Located in the Chanba Ecological District, this immersive experience combines high-tech effects with traditional storytelling to recreate 6,000 years of Xi'an's civilization in one unforgettable hour.

What to Expect

The centerpiece show follows a Chinese-American girl returning to her homeland to explore her roots. The performance spans five acts: "Dawn of Banpo," "Zhou Dynasty and Qin Wind," "Zhang Qian's Mission," "Tang Dynasty Glory," and "New Chang'an." The production features over 10,000 pieces of stage machinery, 3,000 tons of cascading water effects, and hundreds of cubic meters of sand that literally flies at the audience. Beyond the main show, the park offers street performances, traditional craft demonstrations, and themed dining areas designed like ancient Chinese streetscapes.
