How It Works

The Red Auditorium. This is the largest of our ten auditoriums. There is a large hundred year old carved wall panel as you enter next to a terra cotta statute of a General reproduced from those found in the Qin Dynasty architectural digs in Xian Province. This room features some great stuff ranging from 26-foot-tall palm trees to full size Chinese New Year’s parade dragons. The 8 foot tall gold & bronze Temple Dogs under the screen were imported from Beijing. The large medallions hanging in front of the stage curtains were restored here, but were found dirty and dilapidated in a rear storeroom of a local Chinese antique store and are thought to be about 200 years old. The 24-foot-long framed “Nine Manchurian Dragons” on the back wall was carved in Taiwan and hand painted here. Above the panel is our own Chinese Palace with a century old Chinese gong, antique sculpted wall panels, a pair of giant palace jars wrapped in gold dragons, lots of authentic Chinese lanterns, bells, temple dogs, murals and a 150 year old carved wood arch over a gold Buddha centerpiece to round out our oriental fantasy.
