After the educational historical tour around Wu Hou Ci, we went back to the hotel for a quick power nap and showered before headed downtown for the show of the night, “Fu Rong Guo Cui” ( 芙蓉国粹).
I shall explain more about the show later, now let's see what we had for dinner on our 2nd night there! After the M-A L-A fright the day before, this time round we finally managed to find decent or so-called familiar Cantonese food at the Chinese Restaurant of Haiyatt Garden Hotel (成都海悦花园大酒店), Yue Cantonese Restaurant ( 悦中餐厅 ).
Fully satisfied our tastebuds that night with yummy food, including 花生焖猪尾, 干煸四季豆, 砂煲鱼头, 油麦菜, 蛋炒叉烧. Yummilicious, all were cleared, no prize guessing who is the happy one with this dinner. The Boy's mum and the piggy of course!
After the sumptious dinner, we took a cab down to Jinjiang Theatre (锦江剧场) for the show “Fu Rong Guo Cui” ( 芙蓉国粹). One of the must-go show when one is in Chengdu! The ticket is pre-booked by the sis from the hotel with special price and good seats allocations for good photography angle! The sis definitely knows the photographer Bro well!
“Fu Rong Guo Cui” means the quintessence of Chinese culture in Chengdu, which is the Sichuan opera. Fu Rong is actually cotton rose, the city flower of Chengdu, while Guo Cui means the quintessence of Chinese culture.
This is a opera shows that consists of many famous opera actors and actress, all the national level performancers. The shows last for around 2 hours, some of the programme that night are shadow play (手影), rolling lamp (滚灯, performed by a clown and his fierce wife), acrobatics shows, Chuan Ju ( Si Chuan Opera ), Er Hu performance, Puppet shows and the most amazing SiChuan skill, face changing (变脸) . And, did i mentioned that they do whole outfit changing too? (变装) i called it! haha!
A very good show, especially the puppet shows, where it might seems easy to control with two hands , all the actions shows are so natural, and it was till the end only we knew that the puppet is ~50kg , as heavy as a normal girl ! Oh My!
How can i missed mentioning witnessed the Master of face changing performance, incredible i must said! They even had Spiderman and Doraemon masks! I guess one of them saw The Boy's little long telephoto lens , and step closer ( nearly right in front of him ) , asking him to snap photo while he performed the trick! And guess what? It was too too fast to get anything, just in a blink of eyes, the face mask is changed!
I had a great night , in fact all of us had a great night! Quiite spectacular, and worth the watch! So next time if you are in Chengdu, don't forget to support this great show!
