Best Time to Visit

March-May, September-November

Visiting on weekdays (non-holidays) is recommended for lower ticket prices and smaller crowds. The show is in the evening, so plan to arrive at the resort by dusk. To secure the best viewing seats, arrive 1-2 hours before the show starts.

Avoid Chinese Holidays

Strongly avoid Golden Week (Oct 1-7), Chinese New Year (late Jan/Feb), and Labor Day (May 1-5). Crowds are extreme and tickets often sell out weeks in advance.
