Itinerary

Shu Feng Ya Yun Sichuan Opera

Hail a taxi to Shufeng Yayun Teahouse located in Chengdu Culture Park. All entrance tickets include Sichuan tea service at bamboo tables and chairs. Enjoy a lively 1.5-hour show that fuses acting, acrobatics, puppetry, folk music and dancing. The Sichuan Opera derives its subject matter from Chinese classical novels, legends and folk tales. Several distinct acts — Changing Faces, Spitting Fire and Rolling Light — feature dazzling sets and costumes that celebrate Southwestern China’s performing and fine arts. During Changing Faces, perhaps the most popular routine, the actors quickly switch between different masks to portray characters’ personalities as the drama develops. Spitting Fire is a literal act that's distinctive of Sichuan Opera; it's also a performance that elicits oohs and ahhs from the crowd. Rolling Light involves a performer acting out a variety of routines like jumping over a bench or dancing with a fan, all the while balancing a bowl lit with fire on his head!

A Very Fun and Interesting Night OUt!

Published on Oct, 2024

So many different talents presented at this show, and some truly skilled veteran performers from opera singers to musicians to acrobats. The mask-changing was amazing! We paid extra for the VIP experience and I'm not sure it was quite worth how much more expensive it was, but we definitely loved getting seats right up front -- great for photos!

Excellent Cultural Show

Published on Sep, 2024

We booked this last minute through Mr Lee, a tour guide in Chengdu. We met him before the show where he gave us an English explanation of the show to set the scene. It turned out to be absolutely amazing. There was many different acts that were all unique to the culture. Highly recommend going! They also had English subtitles on tv screens (although there wasn’t heaps of talking anyway). Worth reaching out to him to organise cheaper tickets and the explanation for those that don’t speak Chinese. Mr Tray Lee Email - leetravel@qq.com WeChat - 13398186696
