Shaanxi Opera Garden

Chinese Opera is a Chinese cultural icon and the Shaanxi Provence has been a hot bed for opera since the Jin dynasty (1115-1234 AD). 3,000 Chinese opera stages of different shapes and sizes are scattered throughout Shaanxi Provence. This makes up 80% of all opera houses in China.

The East garden of the Wild Goose Pagoda is also known as the Shaanxi Opera Garden. It has colorful statues depicting famous operas, actors,  and large frescos of Chinese opera masks. 

The park itself was small, the right size to keep our kids interested and  we had fun looking at the different statues.

I love these lamp posts.
