Weekend Theater｜Treasure Stage Play Recommendations
No more staying at home! Besides shopping and movies, you can also catch a stage play on weekends. Today I've compiled 4 treasure stage plays from across the country. Call your friends 👭 and go watch them together～ (If you're planning a trip, you can save this for later!)
️ Yan'an Nursing Home
📍 Holy Land Grand Theater (Zaoyuan Road, Yan'an)
⏳ Duration: about 70 minutes
Ticket price: 180-258
Transportation: Take bus K12/K13 to Lanjiaping Station
There are over 600 seats, so it's recommended to buy seats near the front. The play tells the story of the lives of martyrs' orphans in the nursing home. In the play, you can see warplanes roaring and a romantic starry sky. There are contrasts, conflicts, and touching moments between ideals and reality. The young actors perform very earnestly. Highly recommend taking kids to watch. If you have a passion for revolutionary spirit, it's also worth seeing.
️ Location: Huaqing Palace Scenic Area (Huaqing Road, Lintong District, Xi'an)
⏳ Duration: about 70 minutes
Ticket price: 268-368
Transportation: Take Metro Line 6 to Huaqingchi Station
Tells the love story of Yang Guifei and Emperor Tang Xuanzong. Recommended seats in Zone A/B for 268/298. If you have the budget, go straight for VIP—the view is absolutely stunning. The most praiseworthy is the lighting—absolutely brilliant! When the lights come on, the stage and Mount Li blend into one. Many designs also made me want to give a thumbs up 👍, like fire emerging from water and props rising from the water. By the way, performances are usually at night, so arrange your return transport in advance.
️ Chongqing·1949
📍 Location: Chongqing 1949 Grand Theater (Jinbi Zheng Street, Ciqikou, Shapingba District, Chongqing)
⏳ Duration: 80 minutes
Ticket price: 194-577 (September promotion price)
308-888 (original price)
🚈 Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to Ciqikou Station, Exit 1
Tells the story before the liberation of Chongqing. Those who have read "Red Rock" should be familiar with this history. Recommended rotating seats in Zone A/B, which rotate with the stage—the experience is fantastic. The lighting, stage design, and props are all incredibly impressive, truly! The night view of the theater is also beautiful; you can go early to take photos 📸. It's recommended to take public transportation as driving may be congested.
️ Impression Dahongpao
📍 Location: Inside Wuyi Tea Expo Park (Wuyishan City, Nanping, Fujian Province)
⏳ Duration: 65 minutes
Ticket price: 218-688
Transportation: Take Wuyishan Bus Route 7 to Tea Expo Park Station
Tells the story of Chinese tea culture. It is highly recommended to book tickets in advance. The VIP seats offer a better viewing experience. This play has a stronger storyline; you can not only learn about tea history and tea-making techniques but also see the love story of the Great King and the Jade Maiden. There are also some trendy phrases in the play that resonate. It might be a bit chilly in autumn evenings, so you can bring a jacket.
