After meeting your tour guide at 5pm, you will travel by private vehicle to start your real life Beijing experience.

Your tour will start with a Peking Duck dinner at a local restaurant.

Peking Duck is originally from Beijing, which is the capital of Mainland China. It is prepared with a kind of fruit tree, so it has a fruity flavor. Its skin is very crispy. You also eat it in a very special way. First you need to use a special bread. Then you can start your tasty meal. Usually, you cannot finish a whole Peking Duck, so you can make soup with the leftovers.

The duck is divided into three parts and made in three different ways:

The first way is the most popular one. The meat is selected from the best part of the duck and is boned. Green onions and dressing are added to make it savory and a little sweet. It is served with thin crepes. You just spread the dressing on the crepe, add some green onions, and roll it up. The second way is to use the part of the duck with less meat. It can be fried with garlic, chilies, ginger or onions. A third way allows you to make use of the entire duck. You can make soup with cabbage and the duck meat with bones.

Don’t worry about what to order and how — your guide will provide tips.

After dinner, you will go experience the brightest and best Peking Opera at Liyuan Theatre. The show time is between 7:30pm to 8:30pm. Within the long history of Peking opera, the performance at the Liyuan Theatre is the most classic introduction to the performing art. The repertoire is an interesting combination of delightful humour and old Beijing culture. 

After the show, your guide will bring you back to your hotel in Beijing.
