Things to do in Beijing, China: The Best Performances

July 12, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

Welcome to a capital city whose story goes back at least 3000 years. In Beijing, you'll find a wealth of history, both ancient (the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Summer Palace, Forbidden City) and more recent (Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Tiananmen Square). For the best market experience, choose the Dirt Market over the touristy Silk Market. A visit to the Great Wall, the longest manmade structure in the world, is absolutely essential.

Truly stunning and breathtaking production!!! The production design was one of the most beautiful and impressive I’ve seen, the choreography and acrobatics are absolutely spectacular, and the amazing performers really deliver with 200% effort and passion. There were some parts that were a little cringeworthy (where performers look they may be hurting themselves), but overall my husband and I really enjoyed the show. There are tons of tourists there, but it was a great time! Highly recommend if you have a free evening in Beijing!!

The show is very elaborate with detailed costumes and a sceen with real water running off the stage. Also live birds as head dressing for a part of the show (they actually fly off). Well worth seeing the show.
