Peking Opera

I watched Peking Opera for the first time because of my colleague from San Francisco was visiting us last week. The theater is located conveniently in People Square, across street to Raffles City shopping mall. The ticket price is about the same as the movie ticket, less than 100CNY. The face makeup, the costume, the stage, all in simple and eye-catching style. The whole storytelling is just way way too slow. 10-minute story in modern tempo takes 2 hours to tell in Peking Opera. That's why the old folks love it - plenty of time to kill, easy to eye, and be a fan about it.

the original owner of this garden was bold. normally chinese won't put such a fierce animal in their house. it is just too much.

maglev

there is a short demo maglev track between pudong international airport and longyang road. the speed is high. the trip is short, just 8 minutes. the train accelerates all the way to the max speed, and slows down. single trip ticket fare is 50 yuan. you can get 10 yuan discount if you have an airline ticket. it is called a demo version because the distance is just too short to make sense, or make profitable.
