New alliances to bring cheer to culture lovers in New Year

BEIJING - If you tend to get overwhelmed by the huge number of performances and movies showing at different venues in the capital, a new integrated information system providing updates on cultural events, and even notices on the availability of cheap tickets, is coming your way.

Five new alliances were founded earlier this month, providing a common platform each for the capital's theaters, museums, publishing houses, cinemas and relevant companies. The idea is to keep cultural aficionados updated about the city's culture scene as well as offer a few lucrative deals.
