Love concert
On Chinese Valentine's Day why not have a little love in the air with a romantic concert.
The aptly named My Heart Will Go On will be staged at the Beijing Concert Hall. The concert features songs from romantic classics such as Titanic, Swan Lake and Cinema Paradiso. Songs from well-known Chinese romantic films, like Under the Hawthorn Tree and In the Mood for Love, will also be performed.

Trilogy
Meng Jinghui, one of China's most successful theater directors, presents his famous trilogy for lovers. The director's interpretation of Romeo and Juliet presents a black comedy of Shakespeare's love tragedy while his First Love shows tough choices being made. Meng's box-office hit, Rhinoceros in Love, demonstrates the anguish of a lonely man's secret love for a woman. On Aug 13, couples can enjoy a discount of 85 percent if they buy tickets for any two of the three.
