Lao She Teahouse

Tasty tea and unique cultural experience in an old-fashioned Chinese setting
Noteworthy for: The tea house, opened in 1988, is a stronghold of Chinese culture and, in addition to millions of tourists, has also served tea to around 50 heads of state.

With its 2,600 square meters, Lao She Teahouse serves tea from all corners of China, ranging from tens of thousands RMB per kettle to cheaper alternatives for a few hundred.
But it's not purely for the tea that millions of visitors journey to Lao She, it's also for the unique cultural experience on offer. This three storey tea house offers daily performances from Beijing opera and magic to traditional dance and acrobatic shows. Visitors feel as though they are in an antique house a few hundred years back in time from present-day China. Entrance is free if you order tea or food.
