Show More ReviewsIf this is your first time attending a show like this, you may really enjoy it. I had previously been to a similar show in Chongqing, which I absolutely loved, so naturally I had high expectations. This one felt much more focused on dancing — a lot of dancing — and for me, it felt a bit too long and repetitive at times.The food was decent and beautifully presented. However, afterward, some of us experienced stomach pain and diarrhea. I don’t consider this the managers’ fault, though, and I have no complaints about their service. I received a clear and helpful guide in advance.The makeup for the girls was done very nicely, but the costumes did not seem very fresh. It honestly felt like they might not be washed properly between uses — perhaps only sprayed with disinfectant and hung back up. One of my friend’s dresses unfortunately had a noticeable underarm smell.
