Dinner in Xi'an

On Saturday evening, we had dinner at a local restaurant where we had what is called a dumpling banquet.  Dumplings are dough wraped meat or vegetables that are steamed, and they are delicious, in fact they have become my favorite Chinese food.  At the banquet, they bring you about 12 courses of dumplings and each course is different.  For example, we had duck dumplings, cabbage dumplings, fish, crab, etc., etc.  I literally ate over two dozen!  After the banquet, there was a performance of an ancient musical play about the Emperor Qin and his favorite concubine.  This is a photo from that very colorful and spectacular performance.  It was a wonderful evening in Xi'an!
