Not the best value item on trip advisor

3.00We got VIP tickets... completely unnecessary expense. Just get A tickets if you can My tickets came through from trip advisor with a barcode only. No one at the door or ticket office knew what to do without a QR code so it took 15 minutes or so to enter. The show was great but not brilliant. It was also too short, and no interval ... probably cos it's over too quickly People filming and photos with their phones all the way through. Not great value for money for over 200 quid.
A very entertaining show.

5.00A very entertaining show! My 9yo son enjoyed it as much as my 70+yo mother. Be sure to leave a lot of time to get there as traffic can be bad during peak hour.
I booked for this show I never received a ticket

She was knowledgeable, friendly, and very organized spoken English very well Mary made our experience very interesting by sharing great information and local insights. She was also very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. Thank you, Mary, for making our visit memorable. Highly recommended — definitely a 5-star guide!
shockingly poor for the money

1.00absolutely shockingly bad for a $60 show. production levels are nowhere near any international equivalent and honestly are worse than the local circus in London (giffords). some skills shows are great. most are average at best or even poor. the crowd were very late, disruptive, on bright phones, talking throughout. i would never go to this again
Fantastic experience! Must do in Shanghai

Surprised by the evolution of light and sound production

5.00I had seen a show by Sichuan's Zatsugidan in Beijing about 20 years ago, and at that time it was a so-called circus image, but I found that the staging that followed was much more advanced, with more effective use of lights and the like. It was basically a story where the elder brother goes looking for the older sister with a red umbrella, and various attractions along the way, but it was a pity that I didn't understand the flow of things. Do Chinese people understand that? It was like an advance performance of a show to be released next year. I think there were about seven bike shows at most riding in spherical iron baskets. Sounds curmudgeonly. It was very wonderful, but some of the old circus stuff was amazing.
Acrobat and circus and daring shows

5.00Very very fun! Superb! Exciting! The motorcycle show was simply breathtaking and amazing. 1 hour show but loads of entertainment and amazing acts to keep you on edge of seat. Sat in B section but view was great (A section is centrestage)
