a very nice experience to visit China's performing arts centre. having a klook ticket was less of a hassle instead of buying and lining up on queue.
We couldn't find the entrance at first, so we end up taking one whole round of the place. The entrace was just outside the station. But the ticket redemption eas super easy. Just saw the booking to them, they'll give the ticket.
I bought 35 yuan from kluk, and it is selling for 30 yuan on the spot. And the opera hall, but in reality there was only one music hall open. Do not buy ... I regret.

Based on your valuable feedback, Kleck is committed to providing quality products. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Thank you. Dream KLOOK Customer Support Team
Upon exiting the Subway station, you will easily find the ticket redemption booth.
It is just the entrance ticket to enter the building. There is nobody who explains or guides, not even a pamphlet about the building. The architecture is interesting also from inside, but if time is short, it is not really a must have seen spot inside. Outside it is only a few steps from the entrance of the forbidden city, so should be visited "by the way" (for free).
The National Grand Theatre has a special appearance and a regular tour, which is worth a visit. However, there were very few tourists on the day, and there seemed to be no need to buy tickets first.
Good architecture! It wasn't crowded when we came so plus points for that. Beautiful place from the outside, and the inside is fascinating. Worth the money.
With the electronic code field for entity tickets, it is convenient, easy to operate! !
Practical and easy access. A wonderful place, amazing architecture! It's worth 100%
The main highlight, which was the main theatre, was out of bounds. If NCPA are to collect entrance fees, at least open up the main theatre for viewing. Basically nothing else to see. Wasted time and money. Not recommended. I would not even give 1 star.
