Overview

Have you ever watched Crazy Rich Asians and found yourself intrigued by that intense Mahjong scene? Or perhaps you heard Julia Roberts talk about her love for playing Mahjong and thought, What’s so special about it? Now’s your chance to find out!

Whether you're a curious beginner or a passionate fan of the game, this experience welcomes all levels. Join us in the heart of old Beijing’s local neighborhoods, where Mahjong isn’t just a game—it’s a way of life. You’ll learn to play from friendly locals, find a Mahjong buddy, and immerse yourself in a social scene full of strategy, laughter, trickery, shouting, and even dramatic high-fives.

Even better, science suggests Mahjong may help improve memory and prevent cognitive decline—but honestly, most people play for the thrill of winning and the joy of connection, haha.

Come and see for yourself what makes Mahjong so addictive—and who knows, you might just become the next King or Queen of the tiles!

Activity itinerary

Step into the vibrant world of Beijing’s local life through one of China’s most beloved traditions—Mahjong! Just like a high-stakes game of Texas Hold’em, Mahjong is filled with strategy, bluffing, laughter, and unforgettable social interaction. Your journey begins with being matched with a friendly local Mahjong partner who speaks English. They will be your personal guide into the world of Mahjong. You’ll meet in front of a cozy local Mahjong parlor, where your experience starts with a relaxed, one-hour hands-on lesson. You’ll learn the basics—tile names, rules, game flow, and local Beijing playing styles. Once you're comfortable with the tiles and confident in your skills, the real fun begins! Two more local Mahjong players will join you, forming a full table of four. For the next three hours, you'll enjoy an authentic, energetic game session—complete with laughter, teasing, friendly rivalries, and lots of exciting gameplay. Throughout the experience, enjoy unlimited complimentary Chinese tea and traditional local snacks. Expect moments of joy, playful frustration, surprise victories, and possibly even some playful tricks and mock outrage—it’s all part of the fun!
