From September 29 to October 5, the ninth Chinese Opera Culture Week will be held at Beijing Garden Expo Park.

During the week, over 150 trendy and creative vendors will gather together at the park. Highlights include traditional-style cultural products, intangible cultural heritage crafts, opera-themed merchandise, and a food street dedicated to opera-inspired cuisine. Visitors can also take part in immersive storyline quests that combine sightseeing with interactive challenges. You will have the chance to meet AI robots dressed in opera costumes to perform alongside you, experience VR technologies to virtually "touch" some heritage sites, try AI photography and 3D-printed cultural products at the Opera-Tech Market, as well as enjoy cross-genre art performances.

This year, the Chinese Opera Culture Week is collaborating with major shopping districts, specialty stores, and popular scenic spots across the city to launch the highly practical "ticket stub discount" campaign!

The commemorative ticket for Chinese Opera Culture Week can be used from the date of collection until October 15.

Whether you want to grab a bite and relax after watching some opera, or make a plan to explore some of the scenic attractions on offer, you just need to show your Opera Week ticket stub to unlock shopping discounts, dining perks, and exclusive scenic-area privileges.

By taking part in the park-wide stamp collection activity, or joining audience interaction sessions, you can receive a commemorative ticket stub for the Chinese Opera Culture Week!
