Fantastic 5.0

There are subtitles during the show but it can still be a bit hard to follow especially if you are seated right in front (screens are at the side so you need to turn you head to look at the subtitles). Overall, still a good experience seeing Peking opera, an ancient Chinese art form, in person. Pro-tip: Doors open at 6.45pm for the 7.30pm show. Go early so you can get your choice of seats in the zone you bought.

A very interesting experience of traditional Chinese culture! The performance was held in the Liyuan Theater of the Qianmen Jianguo Hotel. It started at 7:30 p.m. and one had to arrive 30 minutes in advance. The performance ended around 9 p.m. and there were three plays in total.

Don’t worry about not understanding what the actors are singing, because there are Chinese and English subtitles on both sides. If you arrive early, you can also see the actors putting on makeup. It’s a very authentic Beijing experience! There were also live instrument performances, and the actors’ movements and singing were amazing. This is a traditional Chinese quintessence that is well worth experiencing when visiting Beijing!

I was first worried becuase of some reviews that the staffs do not know about the klook booking system and are not able to communicate in english. However, it turned out that they already prepared tickets for the reserved guests and are proficient in english. The only downside is that it is a bit hard to find the box office, but you can simply ask the doorman about the office. Had fun here.

Very cool experience! Seeing the Peking Opera stunts and hearing the live singing and playing in person really impressed me. Although the ticket price was more expensive, the experience of sitting in the VVIP seats was well worth it! It was great to also see the famous Farewell My Concubine!

It's a great performance to discover Bijing opera. The play has some traits of humour, dance and acrobatic performance.

Great 4.0

Really enjoyed the show but it only lasted about an hour and 20 mins so is a bit pricey. I enjoyed the snacks and jasmine tea at our table and the theatre was very large and impressive. The performers were really good, with a live band and subtitles to understand what was going on. It was easy to find the venue and you just go to a room where they see your booking and issue you a physical ticket. The theatre was massive and wasn't full so you could probably book at late notice.
