No matter how long the stay in Beijing, a visit to the Chaoyang Theatre is an ideal way to spend the evening.

Located along Dongsanhuan Beilu, the Chaoyang Theatre is the perfect location for acrobatic displays from the outstanding China Acrobatic Troupe, complete with juggling, unbelievable contortionists and maybe even some magic.

China’s acrobatic traditions go back more than 2,500 years to the Western Han Dynasty.

Even if there isn’t a display of the most number of individuals on a bicycle trick, this show is more than worthy of a call home.

"Beijing is now bulldozing its way through the 21st century, after decades of Maoist killjoy prohibitions," said the Economist.

"Its booming nightlife is a reflection of the changes taking place and the city boasts a variety of venues hosting a revolving door of top-quality performers from around the world."

Performances are held every day and the doors open at 19:15 local time.
