Not to be missed in Beijing - Perfect: both the show and the organization! Thank you all for their kindness and courtesy. Despite our slight delay, a person was waiting for us at Welcoming with our tickets and a big smile. The show is enchanting. We recommend booking tickets with snack.

Great wall trip - The tour guide was nice and very helpful. He was very patient with us and adjusted to the group's preferences easily. He kept everyone entertained and was very informative. He told interesting stories and backgrounds about each tourist spot we visited. The view of every place was beautiful and breathtaking. Everyone in the group enjoyed the trip and would want to go again.

I think it's worth watching - I don't speak Mandarin so well, but I would like to watch live Peking Opera. As a result, the play was good and I enjoyed it! Because both sides of stage have TV screens showing subtitles of performer's lines, I could understand summary of this play to some extent. I'm not familiar with Opera, but performers have a powerful and resonant voice, so I could be impressed by this play! --I'm sorry I forget to take a photo because I was absorbed in this play--

Something different - 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.

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.
