Established in 2007, this is one of the few places in Beijing where shadow plays are performed. The 2,000-year-old tradition is a form of ancient storytelling and entertainment. Catch the shadows on a lit backdrop and watch the shadows transform into a myriad of images. This club holds camps in the winter for children to learn the history and crafting of shadow puppets. Chinese language only, although they are planning on a bilingual show.
