Zhengyici Peking Opera Theatre, Historical theatre building in Xicheng District, China.
The Zhengyici Peking Opera Theatre features traditional Chinese architecture with wooden beams, carved decorations, and multiple levels for performances and seating.
The theatre opened in 1688 during the Kangxi Emperor period of the Qing Dynasty, replacing a Buddhist temple that previously stood at this location.
The venue maintains the tradition of Peking Opera performances, where artists present classical works through singing, music, acrobatics, and elaborate costumes.
Visitors can reach the theatre by taking subway line 2 to Hepingmen station or using buses 15, 25, 703, and others that stop near the entrance.
The theatre gained international recognition when American comedian Louis CK filmed an episode of his show 'Louie' at this location in June 2012.
