Peking Opera - Liyuan Theatre

You haven't experienced the Chinese culture if you haven't been to a Chinese Opera. Be sure to visit an opera with English translations! Chinese opera is a combination of acrobatics and singing. The singing is quite different (and sometimes even annoying) from the way the foreigners used to, so be prepared for a cultural shock! The Monkey King is usually one many people's favorite. Colorful makeup with different bright costume and exaggerated eye movement and body gestures. Dancing and acrobatic jumps with fans or swords.
