One evening in Xian, China we attended the Tang Dynasty Dinner and Cultural Show. I'm not generally very fond of these sorts of things, but we did get a variety of food, even if it was not of the best quality.

The show was also quite spectacular, even if it did get a bit monotonous.
We were on the first or second row and had a great view of the show.
Lots of variety all the way around--food and costumes. I think this was one of the better "dinner shows" we have been to.
