How to Visit
1
Choose the date, session and seats before planning the day
Performance sessions are set by date and season. Build the day around the session shown on your ticket, then allow about 70 minutes for the performance itself.
Tip:Use the current booking information for the selected date rather than assuming the same schedule applies every day.
2
Arrive early at Danxiakou Tourism Holiday Town
Reach the town 30-45 minutes before the show for dinner, parking and entry to the theatre.
Tip:Arriving early prevents food and transport logistics from cutting into the performance.
3
Pair the show with Zhangye Colorful Danxia
Visit the Danxia landscape during the day, then use the performance as an evening introduction to Zhangye and the history of the Hexi Corridor.
Tip:The show complements the landscape visit; it is not a substitute for time in the Danxia scenic area.
4
Arrange the return journey when booking
Set up a driver, charter car or confirmed transfer before the show starts, especially if returning to Zhangye city after the evening performance.
Tip:Daytime transport to Danxia should not be treated as a dependable return option after the show.

Insider Tips
✦Sessions and fares can change, so use the booking information for the selected date when planning the visit.
✦Do not rely on daytime buses for the journey back after the show; pre-arrange a driver, charter car or confirmed transfer.
✦Prioritise a full-stage view when selecting seats instead of choosing purely by price.
✦Confirm photography rules before entering and avoid using flash or moving around once the show begins.
✦Evenings can feel cool after the performance, especially while waiting outside for transport.
