Red Theater

Red Theater

Located in Beijing's Chongwen District, the Red Theater is quite well-known among foreign tourists visiting the city. The nightly performance of "The Legend of Kung Fu" is always sold out. Tailored specifically for tourists, "The Legend of Kung Fu" draws on successful international experiences and follows a management model of "one show, one company, one team." Since its premiere, the large-scale stage kung fu drama "The Legend of Kung Fu" has hosted over a hundred foreign heads of state, ambassadors to China, their spouses, and other dignitaries. Leaders from various national ministries, as well as officials from the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, the municipal government, and the Olympic Organizing Committee, have also watched the show and given it high praise. A reporter from Canada’s The Globe and Mail once commented: "The Legend of Kung Fu is the first wave of the Chinese culture tsunami." Ireland’s Deputy Ambassador once exclaimed: "This is a more thrilling performance than Riverdance."
