Beijing Shichahai Shadow Art Performance Courtyard

Our four-night stay at the Shadow Arts Performance Hotel was truly memorable. Tucked away in a hutong near ShiChaHai, the location offered an authentic glimpse into local life. Every morning, we’d see residents walking their kids to school, neighbors exercising, or playing ping pong and kicking shuttlecocks in the nearby park—it felt like being part of the community. The highlight for my child was the live Shadow Arts Performance, held every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 8 pm. The skill and dedication behind the show were impressive, and it was heartening to see such care taken to preserve this intangible cultural heritage (非遗文化). The optional workshop afterward, offered for a small fee, was a nice touch for those wanting a deeper experience. What really made our stay special, though, was the staff. Tom and Jerry at the front desk, the manager 二姐, and the housekeeping team (李大姐 and 郑大姐) went out of their way to help—whether it was assisting with takeout orders when our phones wouldn’t cooperate or just offering friendly advice. Their warmth made the hotel feel like a home. If you’re looking for a place that blends local charm, cultural immersion, and genuine hospitality, this is it.

10 out of 10! Fantastic location, authentic vibes, and wonderful staff. I arrived early in the morning (7am), so I booked the night before to ensure a smooth check-in. I was greeted by the lovely receptionist, Jerry, who was incredibly helpful and kind. There’s no elevator at the property, but Jerry kindly helped me with all of my bags. I also needed an iron, and he provided a steamer instead — such great service! The room was clean, quiet, and well-equipped — everything I needed. A special highlight of my stay was the traditional shadow puppet show — such a unique and memorable experience. The daytime receptionist, Tom, was also very helpful and attentive. Highly recommend this place — a perfect blend of comfort, culture, and hospitality!
