Plan your Beijing tour?  If you are thinking of how to experience Beijing nightlife, my today's post will be interesting to you. Basically after dark two musts for enjoying Beijing nightlife are Kung Fu Show and Peking Opera. Well let's talk about Kunfu Show in Beijing. There are two places for watching kungfu show – Red Theatre and Shichahai Theater. For information on the kungfu at Red Theatre, please visit The Legend of Kung Fu at Red Theatre.

"Shichahai" Kungfu show is a kungfu spectacle, put on mainly by the actors from Shichahai Sports School. "Shichahai" Kungfu show is both a follower and a rival to The Legend of Kung Fu at Red Theatre. The Legend of Kung Fu at Red Theatre has been very successful in the past ten years. However, more than a follower, "Shichahai" Kungfu show is very creactive and innovative, combining many elements into Kungfu show, such as Peking opera, acrobatics, dance, jiujitsu,folk customs and etc.
 
So seeing "Shichahai" Kungfu show is like taking a Beijing traditional culture tour guiding us to the Kungfu itself and the all aspects of life involved with Kungfu. On your short trip to Beijing, you cannot afford to miss it. Come to the Shichahai area in the daytime for Hutong tour and rewinding yourself hanging around the bar streets here. Then walk to the nearby Shichahai Theatre for the wonderful show, what a full day!

To experience and learn authentic Chinese Kong Fu from a great master, they come to Beijing. They met the warm and friendly Beijing people, who are actually great Kung Fu masters though they look very ordinary. The couple learn Chinese Kung Fu and enjoy sightseeing and culture here in Beijing.
