Best show we saw while in China , the acrobats were simply brilliant in their performance and kept everyone edge. The finale with motorcycles in round cage blew your mind , starting with 2 motorcycles going in and ending with 8 motorcycles spinning around in various directions for long time never ever seen anything like it . Everyone in the audience were grasping with excitement and fear. If you are in Shanghai, go see it you won’t be disappointed and you will get your moneys worth.
Circus at its best in Shanghai

Having already seen the acrobatic performance in Beijing, we were unsure whether to go again in Shanghai. Thery are separate companies, but could there be much that was new in the second performance.?The answer - a resouinding "Yes". The specially built Shanghai theatre is a marvel in itself - with a series of surprises as the true range of what its circular stage can do is revealei ERA, which has strong creative connections to the Cirque de Soleil team, is a magnificently choreographed production which merges traditional Chinese acrobatics into a storyline with an ending. Along the way, multiple motorbikes roar inside a steel globe (I won't say how many, but the audience gasped audibly as each additional one arrived); tumblers through hoops and trapeze artists push the boundaries to the extreme, and music light and sound transform the visual impact in many ways.. A must to visit in Shanghai (and if you are in Beijing, that is a separate "must do" also).
Excellent show. Well worth it

We decided to only experience the one hour show and it was more than enough to entertain us. The motorcycle dome had me on the edge of my seat.
Intriguing show

The show lasts only 1 hour on a weekday. But you can enjoy the old and new of China and of course, their acrobatics are breathtaking. The show itself is well organized and time flies so fast as if you were watching an extremely intriguing film or play. Highly recommended if you have plenty of time to do in Shanghai.
Circus as it should be no gimmicks just fantabulous

Thanks to Li. I had an absolutely fantastic experience at a real Chinese circus. So awesome. I booked my tickets through Tripadvisor and Li contacted me earlier in the day to ask if I was going send me directions and send me a QR code. Just before the show started, she asked if I was OK and if my seat was fine. I tremendously enjoyed this circus and knowing that I was taken care of made it a whole lot better thank you Li.
