19:00 - 20:30 | The Spectacle of Peking Opera Enter the Liyuan Theater to witness a performance style that has entertained Beijingers since 1790. Unlike Western opera, Peking Opera is a multi-dimensional art form featuring:
Dazzling Martial Arts: High-energy combat scenes that blend acrobatics with tradition.
Unique Makeup & Masks: Observe the symbolic colors and patterns of the actors' makeup, a ritualistic art form in itself.
Ear-Splitting Arias & Musical Dialogue: Experience the unique vocal techniques and traditional Chinese instruments that drive the narrative.
Elaborate Costumes: Feast your eyes on the stunning silk embroideries and headpieces that signify rank and character.
21:00 | Return to Hotel After the show, your private vehicle will be waiting to escort you back to your hotel, leaving you with lasting memories of China's premier performing art.
