Liyuan Theatre
Step 2: Peking Opera Show with Exclusive Pre-Show Highlight
Travel to the theater for a captivating Peking Opera performance (7:30 PM start). Arrive early to watch performers’ makeup and costume preparations, and discover the art of lianpu (Peking Opera facial painting)—bold hues and intricate patterns with symbolic meanings (red for loyalty, black for integrity, white for treachery) that tell every character’s story. Your ticket includes fixed table seating for 6 guests, plus complimentary tea and light snacks to elevate your viewing experience.
Hailed as China’s national treasure, Peking Opera fuses singing, recitation, acting and martial arts seamlessly. Watch classic scenes from Chinese history and folk legends come to life, with performers in elaborately embroidered, vibrant costumes delivering graceful movements, distinctive vocals and skilled martial arts sequences—an immersive showcase of China’s profound cultural heritage.

Houhai
After the show, explore Houhai Lake—a timeless gem of old Beijing where serene lake vistas meet winding cobblestone hutongs and traditional gray-brick courtyard houses (siheyuan). Wander the lanes, admire intricate wooden carvings and red-lacquered courtyard doors, and soak in the quiet, authentic atmosphere of old Beijing’s night.
Tour Conclusion & Return Arrangements
Economy Package: Your guide assists with hailing a taxi for your hotel return (fare at own expense) after the Houhai exploration.
Comfort Package: Your private chauffeur awaits to escort you back to your hotel directly for a seamless, worry-free end to your tour.
This tour weaves together Beijing’s national cultural heritage, local culinary classics and old-city night charm, crafting an authentic evening that captures the very spirit of the capital.
