Ramon Saez is a magician in New York. He is often on tour in the U.S. and Europe. He said, "I liked the music and dances. The costumes were exquisite, and I could learn a lot from the show.

Bill Eng from New Jersey attended the show with eight members of his family. He said, "The show beautifully presented Asian culture and history. Everybody can learn something about Chinese culture from watching the show, and everybody should bring their family. The performance was varied and very well-coordinated.
