Built in September 2016, the Landmark Stone Square for Cradle of Peking Opera is located next to the former residence of Ji Xiaolan in Dashilan Sub-district, Xicheng District. The Dashilan area was the foothold of Hui opera troupes coming to perform in Beijing more than 200 years ago, the center for Peking Opera training schools, and the gathering place for famous Peking Opera actors. In the past 200 years, many renowned Peking Opera masters such as Tan Xinpei and Mei Lanfang made names for themselves here. The "intangible cultural heritage" Peking Opera culture has also spread to the whole China and beyond, becoming the quintessence of Chinese culture.
