Walking abroad for many years, I have been to countless scenic spots at home and abroad, and I have seen many live performances, but this time I was really shocked. The architecture and atmosphere with very exotic characteristics are particularly eye-catching in the night, but what really impressed me was the live performance of the scenic spot for more than two hours. Whether it is the use of props, lighting effects, costume design, actor selection and storyline, they have achieved a very high level. This is the newly opened ancient city of Hetian in Xinjiang.

But when you enter the city, the buildings inside are quite characteristic of the Western Regions.

After a cool 3D animation with the city tower as the background, the city gate opened, and the emperor and queen of the Tang Dynasty rode slowly in carriages, supported by soldiers and maids.
