bamboo flute player, Xi'an, China

Shaanxi Opera Company

One night in Xi'an we go to a performance by the Shaanxi Opera Company. The company's expert dancers and musicians are world-class entertainers. This man plays the traditional bamboo flute, at times simulating bird calls and a conversation with a duck! It's a great night out.

The Opera is only one of the many experiences on our Silk Road tour through China and Central Asia.
