Peeking deeper into famed Peking Opera performer's life

Renovated memorial hall explores artist's legacy with rare artifacts and interactive installations, Chen Nan reports.

Huguosi Street was one of Beijing's busiest commercial avenues back in the day.

Now, it is one of the most popular areas in the capital, where tourists get a taste of traditional architecture among the hutong, narrow alleyways, and local snacks.

One tour destination of Huguosi Street is the Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall, renovated from the famed Peking Opera master's former residence, which opened to the public in October 1986.
