Economy Package Includes English-speaking guide (hotel pick-up included) and Peking Opera tickets (with complimentary tea and snacks, fixed table seating). All tour transportation (excluding initial hotel pick-up) and dinner are at your own expense. Skip dinner if preferred, and explore other downtown night attractions with your guide by mutual arrangement for a flexible experience.

Liyuan Theatre (Pass By)

Step 2: Peking Opera Show with Exclusive Pre-Show Highlight Travel to the theater for a captivating Peking Opera performance (7:30 PM start).

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.
