The Legend of the Camel Bell is a spectacular show in Xi'an that brings the ancient Silk Road to life.

Through music, dance, and amazing special effects, it tells the story of brave merchants who traveled across deserts and mountains carrying goods between China and distant lands during the Tang Dynasty (about 1,300 years ago).

The show is staged in a specialy designed theatre where the audience area actually rotates to give everyone great views of the action and allow for the scenery change.

You'll see beautiful traditional Chinese dances mixed with modern performances, all telling the tale of adventure, trade, and cultural exchange along the Silk Road.

Don't worry about language barriers - the story is told mainly through movement and visuals, making it easy for everyone to follow and enjoy! There is also a translation displayed on the screen, but it is so intense, that you would rather be watching.
