Dating back to the late 18th-century, Peking Opera’s tradition of elaborately-costumed performers on a sparse stage is a cultural staple in China. Enjoy an easy night out with this excursion. Instead of navigating Beijing’s complex subway system, enjoy air-conditioned transfers to the theater, pick up your pre-booked tickets and relax.
Enjoy a 70-minute Shaolin kung fu performance at Beijing Red Theater that displays the eye-popping athleticism and artistry of this famous Chinese martial art. See skilled performers whip out lightning fast kung fu kicks, leaps and daredevil tricks as they tell the story of a boy practitioner at Shaolin Temple, known as the birthplace of kung fu. You also see contortion- and drunken boxing-style kung fu during the show. Includes entrance ticket and the option to upgrade for hotel pickup and drop-off in central Beijing.
