Sitting in the west of Qianmen, Beijing, Laoshe Teahouse was founded in 1988 by Yin Shengxi, and named after Teahouse, a well-known play of the famous writer Lao She. The teahouse consists of a story-telling teahouse, a meal teahouse and a tea ceremony house.

In the teahouse which looks archaic with a strong atmosphere of old Beijing, you can enjoy wonderful performances of Peking Opera, folk art forms, acrobatics, magic, face changing and other national arts.
