"Over this river there is a very fine stone bridge, so fine indeed, that it has very few equals in the world." - The Diary of Marco Polo
Also called Lugou Bridge, it is well known because it was highly praised by the Venetian traveler Marco Polo during his visit to China in the 13th century, The most intriguing feature of these beasts is the fact that there are more lions hiding on the head, back or under the belly or on paws of each of the big lions.
Wanping City is east of Lugou Bridge. On July 7, 1937, the Japanese invading army conducted provocative exercises near Lugou Bridge, and then provoked incidents to bombard Wanping City, which marked the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945).

Acrobatic Show
In the long course of development, Chinese acrobatic art has formed its style. The ancient acrobatics stemmed from people's lives and had a close link with their experience and productive labor. Instruments of work like tridents, wicker rings, tables, chairs, jars, plates, and bowls were used in their performances of "Flying Trident," "Balance on Chairs," "Jar Tricks," and "Hoop Diving." Wushu and Lion Dance originated from folk sports and games. All of these acts became commonplace in acrobatic performances throughout China. Though having a long history of development and enjoying great popularity among the people, acrobatics in old China was never performed in theaters because it was looked down upon by the upper class.

The Legend of Kung-fu

"The Legend of Kungfu takes Beijing into a new ear of modern theatrical performance." -- Metropolis Magazine
Chinese martial arts sometimes referred to by the Mandarin Chinese term wushu and popularly as kung fu, consist of several fighting styles that were developed over the centuries. Those fighting styles can be classified according to common themes that are identified as "families," "sects," or "schools" of martial arts. Examples of themes are physical exercises that mimic movements from animals or a history and training method that gather inspiration from various Chinese philosophies, myths, and legends. Some styles focus on the harnessing of qi and are labeled internal, while others concentrate on improving muscle and cardiovascular fitness and are labeled external. Geographical association, as in northern and southern, is another popular method of categorization. Each fighting style offers a different approach to the everyday problems of self-defense, health, and self-cultivation from a Chinese perspective.
Venue: The Red Theatre

Beijing Opera
Beijing Opera is a form of traditional Chinese theatre which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance, and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century.[1] The form was prevalent in the Qing Dynasty court and has come to be regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China. Major performance troupes are based in Beijing and Tianjin in the north, and Shanghai in the south. Fundamental to the performance and overall ambiance of traditional Beijing opera is the venue.
There are many restored venues in Beijing dating from the late 17th century onwards, the opera stage at Prince Gong Mansion, Zhengyici-xi-lou and Huguang Guild Hall, being among them. However, modern venues for the general operatic and theatre stage are also conventional, such as the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and the Chang'an Grand Theatre located on the East Chang'an Avenue is an example of modern Beijing opera theatre.
Venue: Liyuan Theatre for the best taste.
Time: 7:30–9:00pm, daily
