The drama stage inside Jiangning Assembly Hall has been a long-time draw for renowned performers in Qingdao, and they still perform for diners here. Lunchtime shows (noon to 1pm) are Peking opera, while evening (6.30pm to 7.30pm) is cabaret-type singing. The buffet-style food is easy to order, and diners get ¥5 cups of green tea with unlimited refills from metre-long dragon-spout teapots.
The hall is hidden down the second alley on your right after you enter Pichaiyuan Food Street from Zhongshan Lu.
