"unforgettable"
I’ve come back to Portugal for several days, but I couldn’t forget what I saw in Hangzhou, which was very impressive. I admire how Hangzhou people display their history in such a delicate manner. The Romance of the Song Dynasty was top of the line. My wife and I really enjoyed it. No wonder it was among the three best shows in the world! I will have no hesitation in recommending this tour to friends and family, and my wife and I will surely visit this city and attend this show again. You have to feel it person since words can’t describe its beauty.

"wonderful time"
I had a wonderful time in Hangzhou. The tour was much better than I’ve expected. All the interesting things I saw made me a fun of Chinese culture now. Before the tour, we had dinner, and I think the food I tried was delicious as always (I’ve been to Beijing before). Our guide was a accommodating girl, she helped us to order food and gave us much background information so that we had better understandings of the things we saw during the tour. The theme park was an interesting place, and the big show there was exceptional, really a masterpiece!

"a taste of the life of Chinese people"
The tour gave me a taste of the life of Chinese people in ancient Song Dynasty, which was very interesting. The theme park we visited had a wide range of interesting things to offer. I saw some novel food and folk performances. The sellers and performers were said to be wearing clothes of Song Dynasty. Then we watched a wonderful show. It was based on the well-known stories in Chinese history. Though we don’t know their language, I can feel their emotions. This cultural tour was a delight!

"perfect Hangzhou"
Hangzhou is really a perfect combination of scenic beauty and profound culture. I felt in love with it the moment I began the tour. Thanks to China Travel Depot, I was able to watch the best show in my life The Romance of the Song Dynasty, a large stereoscopic musical drama. They dancing was very elegant, the music was wonderful and the stories that the dramas were based on were touching. I have never imagined attending such a novel and top of the line show in a remote city of the oriental China. I will come back and explore more about this city!

"impressive"
I was totally impressed by the show called “the romance of the Song Dynasty”. It boasts one of the three best shows around the world. It is based on Hangzhou history and mythology which is mixed by singing, dancing and acrobatics together. This was nearly the most elaborate performance that I have ever been to by far. I’m sure it is a must for the visitors coming to Hangzhou. I now know why Chinese boasts a rich history and outstanding culture.

"i wanna learn Chinese"
The Romance of Song Dynasty show was breath-taking! I’ve recommended it to two friends who are planning to visit China. Before the show, we had a tour at the theme park. That park was ancient, very interesting. The highlight was the Romance of the Song Dynasty. It was praised as one of the three best shows in the world. On the stage, the most accomplished actors told the most beautiful stories with their dancing. I was thoroughly fascinated, though
I know I would have enjoyed it more if I knew Chinese.

"fit for history fan"
One of my Chinese friends highly recommended this tour to me since he knows I’m into Chinese history. It was the best tour I’ve ever taken. The park was modeled on the city pictured in a famous Chinese painting of Song dynasty (about 1000 years from now). I found myself surrounded by ancient buildings and ancient people (people wear Song dynasty clothes). I was delighted to see the novel performances along the streets. Thanks to our extraordinary guide Jane who was willing to share information with us, I was able to get an insight into the history of Chinese Song dynasty. The tour was well worth the price I pad.

"it wont disappoint you"
The song dynasty theme park was definitely a very popular one. On the way there, our guide Jane promised that this tour will not disappoint us, and it turned out she was totally right. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the park, especially the Romance of the Song Dynasty show. The setting was vivid, and the lighting effects were perfect, the performers displayed outstanding skills and told the most fascinating stories (our guide told us the stories). This tour is a wonderful experience. Suzhou is really an amazing city.

"Good"
The tour was a lovely surprise for me, it is much more impressive and interesting than I have imagined. The dinner was acceptable, the restaurants are clean and cozy, and the waiters have very good service attitude. After dinner, we headed for the Song dynasty theme park, and I had a great time out there. It’s a very different world: there were people who wear typical Song dynasty clothes; there are interesting stores that sell all kinds of snacks and handicraft works; there are exciting performances on the streets. Of course the best part was the outstanding performance we watched indoors called the Romance of Song Dynasty.

"amazing show"
The show we watched at the Song Dynasty theme park in Hangzhou was exceptionally amazing! I don’t know Chinese, but our guide was very helpful by telling us which story was being told on the stage. The highlight was the love story between Liang and Zhu, very touching. The stage was the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen, now and then it made me feel that the scene was real. Everything I saw was so novel and exciting. I was totally intoxicated! This show will definitely remain the fondest memory in my life!
