The grand theater of Lixi ancient village

It's a sizable theater garden where indoor performances of even operas take place, a relic from ancient times that has been renovated to preserve its old charm. Nowadays, it serves as a teahouse open to the public. The entrance is modest, situated by the river. Inside, there are floors above and below, and during performances, there are private boxes available for an immersive experience. One can spend the whole day chatting over a pot of Qimen black tea, slowly enjoying each play, one by one. It makes one reflect on the rich and leisurely life of our ancestors. Once we retire, we'll have more time to explore and understand. I just hope that with the country's development, we'll have more retirement funds to spend on such cultural excursions.
