Tour Description:

 

Peking Opera was born during the imperial era and is now regarded as a cultural treasure of China. Actors and actresses train relentlessly from a very young age in order to achieve such perfection in the arts of miming, singing, dancing and acrobatics – in ancient times, they had to perform in front of the Emperor himself. You’re in for a truly memorable experience!
