Experience The Great Qin Show, an immersive theatrical production in Xi'an's Fengdong New City. Since its premiere in September 2024, this large‑scale Qin Dynasty cultural epic has become a premier attraction in China's ancient capital.

At the heart of The Great Qin Show is its groundbreaking moving auditorium. The custom‑built theater features 1,500 hydraulically driven seats that glide along a 220‑meter track, transporting audiences through six different scenes across an 80‑minute journey. As the narrative unfolds, audiences travel from an archaeological site into the grand halls of Xianyang Palace, then to the battlefields of the Warring States period.

The show draws inspiration from the “Heifu Wooden Slips”—China's earliest surviving family letters, unearthed from the Yunmeng Shuihudi Qin Tombs. The narrative follows Heifu, an ordinary Qin soldier, tracing his journey from captured war prisoner to imperial construction laborer, soldier, and eventually immortalized as a terracotta warrior. This intimate approach makes ancient history accessible and emotionally resonant.

The show brings together an acclaimed creative team, including directors Zhou Liya and Han Zhen, alongside stage designer George Tsypin. Cutting‑edge technology elevates the experience: 3D holographic projections, real‑time tracking systems, and Asia's largest indoor aerial moving stage create stunning visuals of suspended Qin palaces and armies rising from the earth. Over 200 performers, acrobatics, and immersive sensory effects—wind, fog, water, and lighting—deliver an unforgettable audio‑visual feast.

The Great Qin Show has garnered widespread acclaim, welcoming millions of viewers with high satisfaction rates. The production has earned numerous honors, including listing on China's National Tourism Performance Excellence Catalog and recognition on major travel platforms. To enhance accessibility for global audiences, multi‑language audio guide devices are available (English, Korean, Japanese, Russian, French).
