Xi'an Culture: Dance (1st of a 4 part series)
Travelers associate Xi'an with the terracotta warriors, discovered in 1974. However, Xi'an has cultural offerings beyond the warriors' tourist magnet.
The magnitude of things to do and see range from walking the ancient wall that surrounds the inner city, performances of Beijing Opera, a thriving Muslim market and food venues, music played on the Er Hu (a two stringed instrument), art and calligraphy. The list is so extensive that it became impossible to do justice to Xi'an in a 4-5 minute video. Instead of limiting the Xi'an experience, the FAB team has created a 4 part series:
1. Dance
2. Theater
3. Art
4. Music
The Dance, part 1, includes Tai Chi, Bullwhip, and a visiting dance troupe.
