Almost none of these are walk-ups, and the seat class changes the evening more than the venue does. Below are the best show bookings in the country: the acrobatic troupes in Beijing and Shanghai, face-changing Sichuan opera in a Chengdu teahouse, the Tang dynasty programme in Xi’an, with start times, run lengths and whether dinner comes with the ticket.

“My husband and I attended the show not knowing what to expect but based off the reviews decided to give it a whirl! Wang messaged me straight away to sort out details and gave lots of information / details about how to reach to show location and collect our tickets.
