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 Shaolin Shows in Beijing are action-packed performances, dynamic and mystical, full with quantum leaps, power and speed. It was the perfect end to a long day, the kids thoroughly enjoyed it. We highly recommend it!

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 Acrobats

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:

Beijing Opera

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:
