Overview

China is not just history and its great monuments. There’s a vibrant culture that can be seen in the streets of all of its cities. Today we take you to the Great Tang Mall – the longest pedestrian street in Asia, where you will get an insight into modern day life.

Xian served as the capital of the glorious Tang dynasty. The modern Grand Tang Mall was built to reflect its rich heritage while also being a centre of entertainment and culture for visitors. The mall is very popular with youngsters and families and offers a recreational yet educational experience.

The roads here are lined with buildings reflecting the splendid architecture of the Tang Dynasty, while the trees are decorated with LED strips making it a sight to cherish at night. Walking around the streets you will feel like you were walking on a giant scroll. One can enjoy various street performances here, indulge in some exotic street food and great shopping. One of the most popular acts here is the Tumbler performance. If you are lucky you will interact with a famous entertainer in Tang costume, who enthrals visitors with her fairy-like dances. Students will have the opportunity to interact with locals under the supervision of our presenter guide,
