“My husband and I attended the show not knowing what to expect but based off the reviews decided to give it a whirl! Wang messaged me straight away to sort out details and gave lots of information / details about how to reach to show location and collect our tickets. They translated our ticket information into Chinese for the non English speaking ticket booth. We sat super close to the stage. The show itself was spectacular with the performers beyond talented! Incredible synchronization between performers carrying out highly difficult routines!”

Review of Beijing’s Golden Mask Dynasty Show, with dramatic water effects, private hotel transfers, ticket handling, value, and booking cautions.
“Great show! So glad we went and glad we chose this option to have a driver. Our previous tour was running late so I contacted the tour operator through Viator to let them know we were running late and they were so nice. The driver waited for us and got us to the show quickly. When we arrived, we were given tickets and escorted to great seats! The show was phenomenal. The costumes and special effects very elaborate. Dancing beautiful. So glad we went. Highly recommend!”
Beijing evening tour pairing Peking duck with a Chaoyang Theatre acrobatics show, hotel transfers, and VIP seating for $144.41.
“This tour is not value for money. Guides role is just to pick up you at the hotel, bring to the circus hall, then to the dinner and back to hotel. The show was acceptable but I saw much more impressive things even in Bulgaria last summer. Beijing duck served during dinner was already sliced, cold and not tasty. I think it was cooked in advance and may be not the same day. The cafe itself was empty, it was cold and smelled chlorine - bon appetite. I assess that costs for this tour by the agency are more than twice as less than we paid including tickets, taxi, guide…”

Her tour was both enjoyable and educational, and at an appropriate pace, showing us the key highlights and responding to all our questions.
