The park will continue its exclusive showing of the opera, Concubine Yuan Paying a Visit Home, this year, which was adapted from a chapter in the classic novel, A Dream of Red Mansions.

This year, the play will be innovative, as the performer playing Grandmother Jia in the drama will play another role and showcase her Peking Opera skills, and the performer playing Grandma Liu will perform a clapper talk. The performance will be staged twice a day, starting at 9:30 am and 1 pm.
