Food and Drink: No need to bring your own; there are vendors outside the theater, though prices are slightly higher by 1-2 yuan.
Tips: Arrive at the Princess Wencheng Theater about an hour before the performance to avoid traffic congestion. Expect crowds and a long staircase climb, as well as security checks. Pre-book your ride after the show! It’s challenging to find a taxi with the large crowds.
Before and after the Princess Wencheng performance, there are singers outside the theater singing folk songs. It’s incredibly romantic to listen to the music, feel the evening breeze, and admire the distant Potala Palace.
