The perfect Beijing evening! Peking Roast Duck is considered one of the most delicious dishes in the world, and tonight you experience it at its finest. After a spectacular duck dinner where the chef carves the crispy, amber-skinned bird tableside, you choose your entertainment: a dazzling Kung Fu show that tells the story of a young monk's journey to enlightenment, or breathtaking Chinese acrobatics that will leave you on the edge of your seat. With private guide and driver throughout, this is Beijing nightlife done right — no stress, all pleasure.
D1Beijing by Night: Duck, Show & City Lights▾
5:00 PM — Hotel Pickup: Your private guide and driver meet you at your hotel. As you drive through Beijing at dusk, your guide points out illuminated landmarks and shares stories about the city's transformation into a modern metropolis.
5:30 PM — Peking Duck Dinner: Arrive at one of Beijing's renowned Peking Duck restaurants. You'll be seated at a private table. The duck master wheels out a trolley with the glistening, mahogany-colored duck — roasted to perfection in a wood-fired oven. With surgical precision, he carves exactly 108 slices (a tradition dating back centuries), each piece with the perfect ratio of crispy skin to tender meat. Your guide demonstrates the classic way to eat it: take a thin lotus leaf pancake, add duck, cucumber strips, scallions, and a dab of sweet bean sauce, wrap it up, and take a bite. Heaven! The meal also includes duck soup, seasonal vegetable dishes, and a dessert.
7:00 PM — Your Choice of Show:
Option A: The Legend of Kung Fu Show — China's most famous martial arts performance, telling the inspiring story of a young boy's journey from novice monk to Kung Fu master. All dialogue is in English, and the choreography combines traditional Kung Fu with modern dance and theater. High-flying acrobatics, emotional storytelling, and incredible martial arts skill — this show has been seen by millions worldwide.
Option B: Chinese Acrobatics Show — Prepare to have your jaw drop! Contortionists bend in impossible ways, performers balance on towers of chairs, aerialists fly through the air, and the famous "hat juggling" and "plate spinning" acts showcase feats of human precision that have been perfected over 2,000 years. Colorful costumes, dramatic lighting, and a live orchestra make this an unforgettable performance.
9:00 PM: After the show, your driver takes you on a short night tour of illuminated Beijing: drive past the Tian'anmen Gate lit up in golden light, see the National Centre for the Performing Arts (the "Giant Egg") glowing over the water, and drive through the CBD with its futuristic skyscrapers, including the iconic CCTV Headquarters.
10:00 PM: Return to your hotel. A perfect Beijing evening complete!
