★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 60 reviews · 1 hour · from $39

Meet staff at Qianmen Jianguo Hotel 30 minutes before the 19:30 show, then watch one hour of Beijing Opera at Liyuan Theatre. You may see performers prepare their make-up, follow the action with English subtitles, and choose seating with tea and snacks included.

“I must say this activity is not for everyone, and if you not into old Chinese movies that have some degree of musical or theatrical you won’t understand/enjoy this piece. I loved it as the actors were amazing and demonstrated some kung fu style opera which was great and the story was easily understood with subtitles on the side screens. ( can we commend the actors from me please as they were great and I want them to know this old culture is getting lost not only in China but all countries and I want them to know to carry on the great work). Simply amazing if you like all…”
