Itinerary
A 200-year-old opera house is rewriting the rules of Peking Opera. This was the very stage where Mei Lanfang became a legend. Now it's shed its 'ivory tower' status and re-emerged as the world's first hands-on Peking Opera playground. Don't just watch from afar — reach out and feel the embroidery on the costumes, watch the paint go on the actors' faces, and even head backstage to snap a selfie with the performers. The spotlight is yours for the taking. Our English guide and professional private driver will meet you at your hotel lobby in the late afternoon, then head up to the theater to see the night show. When you arrive at the theater, your guide will get a ticket for you. After the show, the guide and driver will send you to your hotel.

About Beijing
Beijing, China's capital for centuries, holds imperial palaces, sacred temples and stretches of the Great Wall within reach of its modern boulevards.
At the city's heart, the Forbidden City spreads behind vermilion walls, a labyrinth of halls and courtyards that housed the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tiananmen Square lies to its south, and the hill of Jingshan Park to its north gives the finest view over its golden roofs. The Temple of Heaven, set in a park where locals practise tai chi and dance, is a masterpiece of imperial design.
Top-ranked sights in Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
