    Highlights: The legendary "Fu Rong Guo Cui" show is an extremely famous Sichuan Opera show. It is a performance you won't soon forget. Sichuan Opera is one of the shining jewels of Chinese theater. Bian Lian, literally "face-changing," is a style of opera in which performers wear different brightly colored masks as they move swiftly throughout the stage. It is an exciting event for viewers of all ages! Sichuan's "Amazing Bian Lian Show" breaks the traditional Chinese theater mold. These performances have rhythm and emotion. These huge productions bring new, unique styles to the audience.

    Highlights: If you would like to see a brilliant performance of Sichuan Opera and experience local folk culture, a trip to Sichuan would be remiss without a visit to the Shufeng Yayun Sichuan Opera House. Sichuan Opera is a theater style performed in southwestern provinces such as Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. It is loved by the people. At the Opera House you can enjoy Sichuan's most brilliant theater device: bianlian (changing face). You can also wear a costume and let a professional put theater make up on your face. You'll look just like one of the actors in the show.

    Highlights: Introduction to the Lianhua Liyuan Society Chunxi Theater:Lianhua Liyuan Society Chunxi Theater is located in the old Chengdu San Tiao Lane on the first floor of Chunxifang, which is the former site of Changfu Pavilion. Hundreds of years ago, Changfu Pavilion Street, the former site of San Tiao Lane in Chunxifang, was once the largest and most legendary gathering place for food, books, periodicals and cultural relics in Chengdu. From 1904 to 1919, the printing company here published famous books and periodicals such as "Shuzang Series", "Criticized Sherlock Holmes Case", "New Youth" and "Weekly Review" with advanced technology at that time. It was also a favorite place for celebrities such as Chen Yi, Guo Moruo, Ba Jin and so on. The strong cultural atmosphere has precipitated the prosperous and glorious history of Chunxifang. After five years of prosperity, Changfuguan Street led to the birth of the adjacent commercial market (formerly known as Quanyechang) - 150 department stores, restaurants, teahouses, inns, calligraphy and painting, jade, candy, tobacco and alcohol, etc., and famous ones such as Beijing "Jingyi Zeng" Beijing Goods Bureau and "Jiuchengyuan" Silk Shop are countless. Together with Changfuguan Street, it became the first comprehensive commercial and entertainment venue in Sichuan history: you can shop, eat, drink, play, watch and live. It is a milestone for Chengdu from ancient commercial civilization to modern commercial civilization. Today, Changfuguan Street has revived again in the three alleys of Chunxifang, showing its century-old heritage.

    Highlights: The building area is 8,000 square meters, which can accommodate 800 people at the same time. Popular song and dance performances, traditional folk art performances, and popular stage plays will all be performed here.From the outside of the theater, the overall style of the theater is in line with the Sichuan-Western aesthetic style of Wenshufang. The design extracts the Shu Road veins to form a facade shape that stretches from bottom to top. The bamboo sea elements are injected into the building facade. Through the interweaving of virtual and real, the facade design is simple and full of Sichuan-Western cultural heritage. In addition, the design also draws on the elements of the sky ladder stone stack. From the inside out and from top to bottom, the building forms a three-dimensional corridor path that integrates viewing the building, viewing the scenery, and watching the play.
