Hidden in a historical Beijing hutong, Yanliao Guild Hall opens a magical door into the world of traditional Chinese opera! Here, history comes alive — folk culture, live performances and hands-on experiences all come together in one place.
Try on Peking Opera makeup, slip into colorful costumes, or even learn a short opera scene! Get creative with traditional crafts — make velvet flowers and hairpins, or try your hand at cloisonne enamel. Cozy reading corners, local snacks and live shows make it super easy to dive into Beijing’s living traditions.
