Half-day Tour of Sichuan Opera


Overview:


Welcome to Chengdu and experience the culture of Shu (another name for Sichuan in ancient times). To have a glimpse of Shu culture, Sichuan Opera cannot be ignored. We have prepared loads of classic performances for you, such as face changing, fire breathing, puppet show and shadow play. Let me introduce them respectively.


Face changing, or "Banlian" in Chinese, is an important intangible cultural heritage in China. As actors flourish their arms and twist their heads, their painted masks change again and again.


Puppet show is a form of storytelling performed by inanimate puppets by manipulating these strings and rods fixed on the key joints.


Shadow play is another form of storytelling that uses hands against an illuminate backdrop to create the illusion of movement.


Sichuan Opera is so amazing that it cannot be summed up in two words.


So what is the charm of Sichuan Opera exactly?Let’s visit Shufengyayun Teahouse and experience it in person.



Highlights:


experience all the classics of Sichuan Opera at once.



Itinerary:


At around 19:00, you will be met and driven to Shufengyayun Teahouse to see the best performance of Sichuan Opera. The Opera begins at 20:00 and lasts for one and a half hours.
