Truly wonderful day in Beijing
Truly exceptional technical and artistic performances (and costumes, stage setup..) much in keeping with memories from childhood from Chinese shows running abroad, and with a lot of adjustments that make everything feel completely fresh and contemporary. Excellent help from the staff for booking same day on WeChat/微信, discount for ordering via that channel and gave us great tips on things we could do in the hours before the show in the vicinity and clear directions to the venue. Even checked that we were making it on time as we were running a little late..! Beware, staff at the counter don’t speak English but they will manage fine from the booking details received onWeChat. Friendly staff at the bar while waiting and cool drinks menu. Even managed to catch some of the artists after the show and talk about their experience growing up in that environment. Great day for all the family! Our youngest came back with a majestic balloon doll after the show that some of the artists were selling on the way out, just beware that the security teams on the subway are instructed not to allow inflated balloons in so it was bike for me back to the hotel, not a big deal, and renting bikes in Beijing is almost completely free anyway..!
