Haggling for Tea at Malian Dao
Haggling for Tea at Malian Dao: If you're serious about tea, this is the only place to go. Malian Dao may not have all the tea in China, but it does have over a mile of shops hawking tea leaves and their paraphernalia. Most shops are run by the extended families of tea growers from Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, and you may rate this friendly street the highlight of your visit. Attending Beijing Opera at the Zhengyici Xilou: The Zhengyici, last of a handful of theaters that supported Beijing Opera from its beginnings, only occasionally hosts performances and is under constant threat of permanent closure. But the scarcity of performances only makes the experience of watching the colorful operas in this intimate, traditionally decorated space all the more precious. Tip: Ask your hotel staff to call and ask about performance schedules and tickets. Unwinding at a Traditional Teahouse: Several quiet teahouses offer you the chance to remove yourself temporarily from the tourist rush. The teahouse in the Sanwei Bookstore offers live traditional music with its bottomless cups of jasmine. For a little extra, the Purple Vine Tea House near the Forbidden City and The Teahouse of Family Fu in the Back Lakes area brew your Oolong (Wulong) in the Chinese version of the tea ceremony. All three teahouses are furnished with replica Ming dynasty tables and chairs and make ideal spots for reading, writing, or doing absolutely nothing.
