Peking opera is one of China's oldest and most popular art forms, combining music, singing, mime, dance and acrobatics to tell stories. Performances can last for hours and feature actors in colorful costumes and elaborate face paint who portray stock characters. The art form dates back hundreds of years and reflects Chinese culture and traditions.
