See Google maps.Liyuan Theatre is located in the Xicheng District, 3km south from the Forbidden City. It's also a lovely walk from Hepingmen subway station.
To go there by taxi is a short and inexpensive trip from most downtown locations. However taxies are often difficult to find at this time which is why we recommend using public transportation when possible. You can go to the nearest metro station (see below) and from there you have more possibilities. If you cant find a taxi you can most probably find a rikshaw, both which cost just 10 yuan. You can also print/copy the following message and show it to the driver:
请送我到梨园剧场，位于前门建国饭店(西城区永安路175号), 电话：63016688，谢谢！
Translation: Please drive me to the Liyuan Theater, located in Qianmen Jianguo Hotel (175 Yongan Road, Xicheng District), Tel: 63016688, Thank you!
