Highlights
Have you ever watched Crazy Rich Asians and found yourself intrigued by that intense Mahjong scene?

Whether you're a curious beginner or a passionate fan of the game, this experience welcomes all levels. Join us in the heart of old Beijing’s local neighborhoods, where Mahjong isn’t just a game—it’s a way of life. You’ll learn to play from friendly locals, find a Mahjong buddy, and immerse yourself in a social scene full of strategy, laughter, trickery, shouting, and even dramatic high-fives.

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).
