Relaxed night in Beijing

The three-day May Day Holiday may be too short for a travel plan. For those who have to stay in Beijing, we would like to recommend some options for a relaxed and enjoyable night.


Beijing night show


Established in 2000, the Beijing Night Show is the city's best dinner show tour destination. Known as the Moulin Rouge of the East, Beijing Night Show brings the audience through an action-packed, non-stopped journey back through Chinese history. Its popular opera "Great China's Music and Dance" is a theatrical blend of ancient dance, ethnic music, and costumes.







A new production, "Beijing, The Fantasia", features an impressive retelling of Beijing's long history. In an eye-catching display of motion and music, the 90-minute spectacular offers a fresh interpretation of the culture and history of an ancient city.


The Beijing Night Show continues to attract luminaries and art lovers alike, having attracted over three-hundred-thousand people already.

Beating out some of the outrageous styles of David Beckham and the fern-like afro of Carlos Valderrama, Ronaldo took first place on the list of bad haircuts, English news*** the Sun reported.


The haircut, which featured a completely shaved head, except for a thin patch over his forehead, was apparently used in homage of the Brazilian equivalent of Charley Brown.


Ronaldo is undoubtedly considered to be one of the best forwards and is currently the leading scorer in the history of the World Cup.


But in 2002, it was not his goals that caught the attention of the world but his exuberant hair style that had the whole world buzzing.


Even before walking away from the game, with this latest honor Ronaldo is guaranteed his spot in the history books of soccer.
