Tianmen Fox Fairy Show, Hunan, China
4.5 (155 reviews) Spent Ranking #10 in Zhangjiajie Theaters
Amazing a must see
This show is set in the natural landscape of the valley with Tianmen mountain in the background. The outdoor theatre is around a 20 minute drive from the town centre. The road is not that great. The theatre has 3 tiers of ticket pricing depending on seating position. We chose the middle price and was seated perfectly 5 rows from the front in the middle. The love story of 'a weedman and a fox fairy' is a Romeo and Juliet story. Even though it is all in Chinese there is a screen at the side that has English narration, this can be distracting though as you can't read the screen and watch the show. It was so spectacular, colorful and amazing you did not need a translation. It is a must see once in a lifetime experience.

Great lighting and water display
One of the best shows in China. From the colorful background to beautiful music to actors, you will be marveled by the great performance.

April 2015 - Beautiful scenery, great voices, okay acting
April 2015 - During the cold and the rainy period of Zhangjiajie we watched the show from the twentieth row and boy did we like it. We came with low expectations because we originally needed to kill time but our guide recommended the show. The show is about an old Chinese folktale about the "fox lady". A lady so mysterious and culturally advanced that she can transform from a white fox to a princess. A story about marriage and forbidden love. They have two huge rock walls where they project three types of subtitles. Two in Chinese, one in English and one in Zhangjiajies favorite tourist's language - Korean. The English is as always broken but completely understandable. It can get funny sometimes when they have used a poor translation. Reading about the show on internet or asking your guide will definitely improve your experience. Acting is a bit meh, the main characters voices are very good especially the narrator. A few really good songs and a few okay ones all in about one and a half hours. There were maybe some lip-syncing involved but I don't think you can expect less since it is outside. They had a very synced background choir who worked together with the narrator and a lot of actors on stage at the same time. When we watched the show we were afraid that we would freeze to death because of the cold and the show being outside but they had a fix for that. You can rent old Chinese army jackets for 10 RMB with 100 RMB deposits. Very large and cozy so you can focus on the show instead of the cold. To my experience people still came pouring in long after the show had started which could cause some annoyance. You should expect to be blinded a couple of times by iPhone lamps from people trying to find their seats. To summarize: Good show perfect for killing time. Average acting but with beautiful scenery. Worth the money. Visited April 2015
