10. Watch Kung Fu Show
One of China's most famous exports is the myriad forms of kung fu. Meaning "attainment through effort", kung fu is a western umbrella term that covers many martial arts. See many of them performed by the Shaolin-trained monks who play-fight their way through a mazy plotline filled with impressive stunts such as snapping iron bars over their heads in The Legend of Kung Fu at the Red Theatre - a Vegas-style show with English subtitles.
