...took one of my coworker's advice and made our way to
Laoshe Teahouse near Qianmen for very typical Beijing food followed by a smorgasbord of traditional Chinese entertainment. Dinner (stir fried snow peas, some delicious whitefish, and
jiajangmian) was accompanied by some traditional music and shadow puppet show:
In the foyer was a statue of some Chinese bigwig shaking hands with George Bush Sr.:
Included with the show were some Beijing desserts and my favorite
tanghulu, plus tea.
The performance started off with some Beijing opera (from
Farewell My Concubine), followed by more singing, a magic show, kung fu demonstration, acrobatics, traditional Chinese dance, some strange dudes whose talent was imitating various sounds like a train, a baby crying, and birds chirping. Below are pictures of the dance and my favorite act, the Chinese face-changing performance.
All in all, a very satisfying entertainment experience =)
