Tang Dynasty Lotus Garden

This surprising man-made wonder claims to be the top theater of its kind in the world. The movie is actually projected onto a thin layer of water, thus creating a special, almost 3D optical effect. While watching the movie the beautiful night and fan-like water seem to mold together right before your eyes. The figures on the screen seem to be flying into the sky or descending from heaven. All of this can give visitors the impression that they are actually there in the middle of the scene. It 's a splendid experience you won 't want to miss!

Chinese Shadow Show

Shadow shows are a traditional Chinese folk art using beautifully made flat puppets, whose shadows are projected onto a white screen. The performance is accompanied by Chinese instruments and story-telling. It is an entertaining and education experience.

This is wildly popular with locals and visitors alike, with up to 10,000 people coming every day to enjoy the music and join in the festivities.
