After dinner, you will be transferred to a traditional tea house to enjoy a pot of tea and watch the Sichuan Opera Face-Changing. Sichuan Opera is one of the best-known traditional operas in China, and Face-Changing Performance is one of the stunts of Sichuan Opera. No matter how close you are to the actors, you can not find how they change faces tens of times. To watch the performance, you don’t need to know any Chinese; what you see will be the biggest surprise! When the show ends, you will be escorted back to the hotel. The delicious and amazing Chengdu night tour will end here.

NOTICE: In the tea house, you can either choose the ordinary seats to see the show, or you can also enjoy a better view at a VIP seat (please tell your travel consultant or tour guide in advance).
