Liyuan Guild Hall-Chuan Opera Changing Face (wenshuyuan store)

The Sichuan Opera face-changing performance at the Liyuan Guild Hall was absolutely stunning! The actors' skills were superb, and their face changes were rapid and mysterious. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the lighting and sound effects were perfectly coordinated. The entire experience was fantastic, allowing me to deeply appreciate the charm of Sichuan Opera. I highly recommend everyone to experience this visual feast; it's definitely worth seeing!

Going to Chengdu without seeing face-changing performances is a must. I personally think it's quite entertaining and worthwhile for adults, children, and the elderly. Tickets for the larger theaters are about the same, but when I went to Kuanzhai Alley the next day, I discovered the entire street was dedicated to face-changing performances, with tickets only costing 18 yuan. However, I didn't know how many acts were performed; they were probably similar. I was a little disappointed. Plus, some hot pot restaurants even offered face-changing performances while you ate hot pot! What could I do? I guess when you go out, you just have to pay for the experience! 😓

We were seated in the middle of the first row, and the experience was quite impressive. There were interactive elements like the long-spouted teapot kung fu tea ceremony and Sichuan opera face-changing performance, creating a great atmosphere. There were international guests present, and the host was very beautiful, bilingual, and quite professional 😂. Before going, we did some research; Wenshu Monastery has several smaller venues, but we ultimately chose this one, and it was well worth the trip. For those planning to watch, arrive 30 minutes early, as it gets quite crowded, so remember to arrive early to secure a good seat 🤭.

Located in Beijing Hufang Bridge, the Liyuan Assembly Hall is a landmark building of Beijing Opera culture. In the Zhuqi gate, the century-old stage is precipitated by the afterglow of Mei Lanfang and other masters, and the carved beams and paintings still echoed between the buildings. Today, it has a museum and theater function. The costumes and heads of the exhibition are exquisite. The weekend performances of the folding operas make tourists feel the charm of the country intuitively. Although the commercialization is slightly strong, it is still worth a visit as the first class to experience the culture of Peking Opera. It is recommended to explain the visit with explanation, so that you can read the pear garden behind each cultural relics in spring and autumn.

I experienced the teahouse culture in Chengdu. It was very relaxing. The teahouse was easy to find. It was near Wenshu Monastery. We had to take a taxi from the hotel and it only took a few minutes. Snacks and tea were sold separately at a reasonable price. The performance lasted for an hour or so. There were face-changing, tea art, bowl-balancing, etc. The fire-breathing show we watched was OK. It was sprayed several times. There were also five or six face-changing performers. They would also come down to the stage to shake hands with the audience. It was quite relaxing.

The environment is very good, spacious, bright and spacious. The show is wonderful and the costumes are exquisite. At the beginning, the female warrior appeared with a vigorous posture and gorgeous costumes. She held the flower gun and made flexible and varied movements. She was skilled in using the gun and was dazzling. The various animals created by the hand shadow inheritors were lifelike and vivid. The final face-changing brought the show to a climax, using fast techniques to present different facial makeups, bringing a shocking visual enjoyment to the audience.

[Scenery] It's easy to find inside the Wenshuyuan scenic area, on the second floor [Fun] It's so good! This Sichuan opera performance has been performing all the time, without those mother-in-law's rhetoric, all of them are real skills, especially the Pi Jin rolling lantern. Teacher Pi Jin is very good, and he can do splits and splits, which is really wonderful. Not to mention the face changing and fire breathing, it's very exciting [Value for money] The value for money is still very high. A cup of covered tea is 10 yuan, but we brought milk tea from outside and we also bought peach cakes to eat.

I brought my kids to Chengdu. I searched the guide and saw many people recommend watching face-changing, so I thought about trying it. It was worth the trip. I ordered melon seeds and big bowls of tea. During the tea art segment, the performers would come down the stage to pour water into the cups with a long-mouthed teapot, and the face-changing actors would also come down the stage to interact with the audience. The kids were very happy. I also saw acrobatics and fire-breathing performances, which were really good.
