Red Theatre

　　The Red Theatre, situated in Beijing's Chongwen District, is quite popular among foreign tourists visiting the city. The nightly show "The Legend of Kung Fu" has always enjoyed full houses. This large-scale stage kung fu drama was specially tailored for tourists, drawing on successful international experiences to establish a management model of "one show, one company, one team." Since its premiere, the spectacular stage kung fu production "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 Government, the Beijing Party Committee, and the Olympic Organizing Committee, have also watched the performance and offered high praise. A reporter from Canada’s The Globe and Mail once commented, "‘The Legend of Kung Fu’ is the first wave of China’s cultural tsunami." The Irish Deputy Ambassador once exclaimed, "This is a more thrilling performance than Riverdance."
