Chongqing 1949 Grand Theatre: A Rotating Stage in Chongqing
The stage turns a full 360 degrees while the audience stays in their seats, and the production runs as an immersive piece about the five days before the liberation of Chongqing.
Few stages in China move like this one. The audience sits and rotates with the set, so the city being staged — the pre-liberation Chongqing of 1949 — surrounds you rather than sitting in front of you. One visitor described leaving the performance genuinely shaken by it, and called it well worth the time.
If you are building an evening around it, the usual hotel sites are the quickest way to see what is near the theatre. Compare room rates before you commit:
