Beijing Night Tours
A city more than 3,000 years old, Beijing is known for its epic palaces and ancient temples, co-existing happily alongside neon billboards and ultra-modern skyscrapers. By night, the city's attractions are a mixture of ancient traditions and modern hedonism.
A night at the Beijing Opera
Imagine a soap opera, but one that may involve ghosts, cross-dressing nuns, clowns, kung fu fighting and acrobatics. An intensely visual experience, it allows you to guess a character’s role and importance from the intricacy of their costume or the colour of their makeup. Bring some earplugs in case you cannot take the vocal rollercoaster for the entire three-plus-hours, and enjoy the spectacle at the venerable Chang An Grand Theatre.
Catch an acrobatics show
Acrobatics have been part of Chinese culture for more than 2,000 years, and the top venues to witness incredible feats of human dexterity include Tiandi Theatre (10 Dongzhimen Nandajie) and Chaoyang Theatre. Expect plate spinning, tumbling, daredevil trapeze acts and balancing acts of up to nine acrobats riding a single bicycle. If you watch child acrobats, you will find yourself catching your breath because you see the potential for acts going wrong, making the show all the more moving.
Watch a kung fu show
The harsh discipline of kung fu has evolved in China over many centuries. And while the performances at the likes of the Red Theatre are undoubtedly a departure from tradition, that does not detract from their visual impact. The frenetic routine is a blur of bodies as the fighters mock spar, show off their weapons skills, dance and perform feats of endurance, such as breaking blocks of concrete on one another’s stomachs.
