What to see & when to go
The courtyard food market gathers 40 heritage brands on Oct 2–6. Oct 6 includes Huiju opera at 11:30–12:15 on the first floor, Kunqu at 15:00–15:45 on the third floor, and Yue opera at 16:15–17:00. The full program also includes Shanghai comedy and heritage demonstrations.
Our visit suggestion: Oct 6 is a useful choice for regional opera: you can combine the food market with Huiju, Kunqu and Yue opera in the same building. Confirm seating and access, and check the floor before each performance.
