The performance was great and the garden around the restaurant was beautiful. But the food was terrible, the restaurant was far away 45-60 minutes with traffic and the table arranged was next to the performance without an stage and was impossible to see the show only if I stand and move in front of them.
I was looking forward so much to this experience, however the guide that we had was terrible. He interrupted us during the show and told us that we had to go. We had to rush finishing our food as well we have missed most interesting part of the show - Face Changing. His English was minimal and he could not explain what he wanted us to do. We didn't get a chance to dress in Chinese clothing as there too was some confusion and he thought that we didn't pay for it and wanted us to pay lots of money in order to get it done. One good thing was that the restaurant that we were at was very nice and the food was good but unfortunately, we couldn't really enjoy it much as we were rushed by the guide to finish and go. The craziest part was to rush where? We had no idea what was going on.
An amazing place for dinner, with very nice gardens outside. The chinese dinner was very good. We ate flowers among other delicacies... Although the show was well performed, it was a little bit too short. When leaving, we were escorted through these wonderful gardens, by a chinese girl with a lantern on his hand: Very poetical, I loved it ! Our driver, who helped us with everything, made a first-class service.
Unfortunately we missed it because we had to spend more than 4 hours to get clear of the Beijing airport
This is a dinner with a series of Chinese traditional performances. It's a nice place with indoor dining areas and outdoor dining areas. Servers wear traditional costumes.
