The stage for this show is set at the lake's edge and the show takes place on a platform just below the surface of the water. A large boat and a series of sinister boatmen move on the water while the
performers walk or run on the platform, but the impression is of people walking or running on the water. The lighting is excellent and the music suits the action. Many of the props for the show are amazing. The most impressive is the hydraulic triangular arm which lifts out of the water emitting a misty spray illuminated by a series of coloured floodlights. There are some outstanding sequences, especially the drumming scene. There are a large number of performers with excellent costumes and props. The problem with this show is that the action is a long way from the audience and this detracts from the sophistication of the show.
The show takes place at night so be prepared for spring showings as it can be very cold and the seating is in the open.

Set up in 1945, it was located in the West Chang an Avenue which was called the Restaurant Street in Beijing and it stood out from the other restaurants there by its Russian food. Later it moved to Xisi Crossroad and finally to the present location due to business requirements. Because the
food and decoration of it are similar with the Moscow Restaurant in Beijing and it is located in the urban area, hence the name Mini Moscow Restaurant in the City.

Featuring sweet, sour, chili and salty tastes, it has a rich variety of high, medium and low grades of foods. It is praised by the common people in Beijing because of its economical foods.
