Great Hall of the People (Renmin Dahuitang)
The Great Hall of the People: A Symbol of China's Democratic Spirit Nestled in the heart of Beijing, the Great Hall of the People stands as an architectural marvel and a profound symbol of China's democratic journey. This grand edifice, with its imposing presence, is not just a physical structure but a living testament to the country's commitment to inclusivity and the will of its people. Constructed in the 1950s, the Great Hall of the People was designed to serve as the venue for the National People's Congress, China's highest organ of state power. Its vast halls and chambers are where representatives from all walks of life gather to deliberate on national policies, shaping the future of the nation. This democratic process, where every voice has the potential to be heard, is at the core of China's political system, and the Great Hall of the People is its physical manifestation.

Must admit I wasn't too enthused to go to the show but ended up very impressed. It was extremely colourful costuming with very talented performers, docile peacocks and as promised by the tour guide a spectacular ending with the stage & surrounds being flooded to beat the bad guys!! Thousands of gallons of water went into the scene and really well done. An easy way to spend an enjoyable hour or so and pretty entertaining.
