Activity itinerary

Beijing (Pass by)

Select from our Economy and Comfort Packages for an unforgettable Beijing evening—two curated options blending cultural heritage, old-city charm and local flavours, with clear tailored inclusions to match your travel needs. Economy Package Includes English-speaking guide (hotel pick-up included) and Peking Opera tickets (with complimentary tea and snacks, fixed table seating). All tour transport (excluding initial hotel pick-up) and dinner are at your own expense. Skip dinner if preferred, and explore other city centre night attractions with your guide by mutual arrangement for a flexible experience. Comfort Package All-inclusive hassle-free experience with English-speaking guide, return private car transfer (hotel pick-up & drop-off), Peking Opera tickets (complimentary tea and snacks, fixed table seating) and an authentic Beijing dinner.

Qianmen Main Street Mall (Pass by)

Begin with your guide’s hotel pick-up—for the Economy Package, head out to your chosen dinner spot (at own cost) or skip dinner to explore other city centre night views with your guide; for the Comfort Package, enjoy a tailored local dinner (Peking duck or alternative) at a featured restaurant, with all travel arranged via private car.

Liyuan Theatre (Pass by)

Step 2: Peking Opera Show with Exclusive Pre-Show Highlight Travel to the theatre 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 storey. 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 (Pass by)

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.
