The Hall is a comprehensive performance venue integrating the North School banquet dance display, traditional repertoire performance, famous and quality snacks tasting, modern facilities for recreation, and cultural and artistic exchanges. It features high-grade entertainment and performance and high-level conference reception. The characteristic program in the Hall is Shanxi Merchants’ Accents. The original and rustic performance, mainly based on body and music language, presents various scenes in which Shanxi merchants struggled to start businesses, accumulated capital, and pursued development. The Hall can be used as a multifunctional conference room for 500-people meetings or 300-people tourist parties. The most popular programs include joyous traditional comedies, funny sketches, pleasing yangko, and marvelous folk Quyi.
