Teahouse of Prince Gong's Mansion (Gong Wang Fu Chaguan)
Not a traditional opera venue, Prince Gong's teahouse is nevertheless picturesque, with a rare bamboo motif on the exterior beams and columns and an intimate interior outfitted with polished wood tables and pleasing tea paraphernalia. This is opera for tourists, kept short and sweet, with a guided tour of the surrounding gardens included in the price. There are several performances daily until 4:30pm.
