On May 17, Xi’an’s iconic outdoor dance drama The Song of Everlasting Sorrow unfolded beautifully in the rain at Huaqing Palace. Against the misty backdrop, performers brought the legendary love story of Emperor Xuanzong (685-762) and Yang Yuhuan (719-756) vividly to life, while audiences remained immersed in a rare evening where history, nature and art blended seamlessly together.
