【Choose aisle seats in area C for better interaction with performers when bringing kids】

❤️ For the Hexi Corridor itinerary, it is recommended to choose the Dunzhu Ren parent-child ticket, which includes the show ticket and accommodation, offering better value than buying separately. (Book early during peak season)
❤️ If you want to experience dressing up, the Dunzhu Ren parent-child ticket is highly recommended. Kids wearing the same costumes as the performers will feel more immersed~
