Thanks for you enquiry.
We are sorry to say that there will be no bilingual children's shows during the period of July 12-17, according to the latest schedule of performances in Beijing theaters.

Here we suggest you take your 10 years old daughter to Beijing Zoo where she may would like to see the giant pandas or see the performance of dolphins in Beijing Aquarium.

Hi, Heather

Currently the only acrobatic show we can offer you is the Traditional Chinese Acrobatics Show held daily (19:15-20:30) at Chaoyang Theater. The prices are CNY 180, 280, 380 and 580. But the theater is located on the Third Ring Road of Beijing (near Beijing CBD Commercial Center).

The National Center of Performing Arts (NCPA) is very near Tiananmen Square. But its schedule for June has not been published yet. We beijingtrip.com offer a full list of performances of theaters in Beijing monthly.

Ya. I agree with Jim.. normally people plan for the trip ahead..a rough guide on the following month activities will help a lot.

Reply10/8/2008 4:37:00 AMChan

It is so bad that your latest monthly activities is for August but it is now September! This is very bad and I hope you can do a better job.
