Shocked that no one has reviewed this gem. This place should be on every tourist guidebook for mandatory Cultural Revolution dinner theater. Hard to find even tho it is only 20 mins from Sanlitun. Its hard to catch a taxi after dinner and you'll be left at the mercy of black cabs that charge 100rmb for a ride back into town.
But the dinner show is worth the taxi ride. Each act seemed straight from the Long March campfires with rousing choruses and shrieking sopranos (with red berets). Be tickled when the evil landlords were bashed with begger sticks, stand up with the guests to join in the national anthem finale and laugh at the irony of paying RMB100 for a song request in a socialist establishment. The food wasn't as bad as we thought - with huge portions of starchy Dongbei. The big iron pots and the chives pizza were big hits.
Dinner for 5 came up to RMB300 which is a great deal considering the entertainment. A definite must try - even for the jaded Beijing old hands.
