Kung Fu, Acrobatics or Opera in Beijing
Shaolin Showdown!Kung Fu is a generic term for the many diverse Chinese Martial Arts. Martial Arts have been applied by the Shaolin Monks for over fifteen hundred years, as a distinctive expression of their religion. The term Shaolin has become to represent discipline, power and courage. The Kung Fu Show in Beijing we attended was "The Legend of Kung Fu", at the Red Theatre. Check the location on our Beijing Map here. There are daily performances at 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices start at around 180 Yuan and go up depending on your seating preference. You can buy tickets in advance and arrange for transport from your hotel through China Travel Depot. They offer The Legend of Kung Fu Tickets and private transfers starting at US$13 per person based on group of 8. For two people the price is US$26 per person. A good alternative if you won't have time to make arrangements yourself once you arrive. Chinese AcrobatsAnother alternative that will please the young minds, is a Chinese Acrobatic Show. These are astonishing performances. It is amazing how the young acrobats contort themselves while balancing objects with extraordinary accuracy, grace and coolness.They make it all look so easy, what in reality must have taken years and years of determination and practice. Beijing is a good place to catch one of this shows. If you happen to miss it here, Shanghai is also a good place to see them. Take a look at this short clip from the CCTV Spring Festival Acrobats: Beijing Opera
Chinese Opera is a widespread style of drama drawn from popular legends and folklore which is characterized by face painting, acrobatics and elaborate costumes. Traditional Chinese instruments accompany the acting. Dialog is in Chinese. Most children probably wouldn’t appreciate this kind of play. My guess is they would enjoy a Martial Arts or Acrobatics Show over a Beijing Opera performance. But here’s a sample for you to decide: About Beijing Opera Masks...
