To watch a traditional Chengdu face-changing show (Sichuan Opera), travelers have several highly-rated options ranging from authentic teahouses to modern theaters. Shufeng Yayun Teahouse, located in the Qingyang District's Cultural Park, is widely considered the gold standard for its "Old Chengdu" atmosphere, featuring outdoor courtyard seating and traditional bamboo chairs. For a more interactive and budget-friendly experience, Liyuan Guildhall has popular branches at Wenshu Monastery and Chunxi Road where performers often walk into the audience to change masks up close. Those seeking a high-production theatrical performance with modern lighting and a complete storyline should visit the Jinjiang Theater (Chengdu Sichuan Opera Art Center) on Huaxingzheng Street. Other notable venues include the Gaiwaner Liyuan Teahouse at Tianfu Square and the Xianting Sichuan Tea & Opera Feast near Jiuyan Bridge, both of which offer immersive cultural experiences involving tea service and multiple operatic acts like fire-spitting and rolling lanterns. Shows typically run for 70 to 90 minutes, with most evening performances starting around 7:30 PM or 8:00 PM.
