The 11th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as the Summer Davos, is being held in China's northeastern coastal city of Dalian. Many foreign attendees visited the Hongji Stage in downtown Dalian to enjoy Peking Opera and gain an understanding of traditional Chinese culture. Peking Opera, a classical Chinese art form that combines music, vocals, drama, dance, martial arts and acrobatics, arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and stylized by the mid-19th century.
