Its a cool experience but...

Diego_T, Oct 2025
Its a cool experience but we think is a little overpriced, nice that they have subtitles in english.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Diego_T, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you found the Peking Opera a cool experience and appreciated the English subtitles. We also appreciate your comment regarding the pricing. We will be sure to share this feedback directly with the theater, as customer insights are valuable for them. We hope the rest of your travels in China are smooth and enjoyable! Please contact us freely should you need any assistance.

Something different

Luke_P, Aug 2025
This is something different to go and see on your trip to Beijing, as westerners we didn't understand the premise of all of the stories told but the acrobatics were very good.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Luke_P, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback on the Liyuan Peking Opera performance we booked for you! We totally get that as Western visitors, fully following the stories of traditional Peking Opera might take a bit more context—but we’re thrilled the acrobatics stood out for you! Those impressive physical skills are such a shining part of this art form, and it’s great to hear they left a nice impression. If you ever come back to Beijing and want to explore more cultural experiences, we’d be happy to help arrange them. Thanks again for letting us be part of your trip. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Beijing too! Best regards,

Traditional activity with very poor service.

The snacks provided are ridiculous. I had to complain twice to get the tea. I expected more from the opera.

We have shared your comments regarding the tea service with the theatre's management. As refreshments are handled directly by the venue, we regret that this aspect fell short, though we have urged them to take your feedback into account for future improvements. That said, we are glad to hear that our booking process was smooth and hassle-free for you. We truly hope that the Peking Opera performance itself offered a memorable and authentic cultural experience. We wish you a wonderful and continued enjoyment of your time in Beijing
