What to See
The Mirror Mirage:As the spectators entered the theater, they see a huge round glass ball with diameter of 6 meters which reflects all direction of the hall. When the whole hall turns to dark, there comes the classical music and magic vision, bringing the spectators to the dreamscape.

Wheel of Life

The rotating windmills turns to be a great wheel of life hanging on the sky. It is made up of three small wheels. The actors will have a soul-stirring performance on the inward and outward of the wheel, which means the endless cycle of lives.

The moving pictures of “Shenzhou 5 (????)” flying into the sky, Donghai Bridge across the sea(??????), the speeding maglev trains, etc. occur on the background screen. Suddenly, a huge crash breaks up the stillness. The motorcycles whizz round in the steel caged ball around 20 feet diameter. There are three going around in different directions. The daring motorcyclists barely miss each other in perfectly timed vertical loops inside a circular cage. It is the culmination of the whole show.

The Happy Circus: Happy Circus is performed in the Central Theatre of Shanghai Circus World. Themed on "Happy Animals, Happy Spectators" and including Sea Paradise, Forest Fun, Prairie Posture and City Homeland, Happy Circus combines animal stars, clowns and aerial acrobatics together, making the whole performance interesting and exciting. It is a perfect choice for families and the kids will fully enjoy themselves by watching these amusing shows.

These cute animals like hilarious monkeys, tactful lions, gentle tigers, lovely dogs, fine horses and others take their turns to present on the stage. The cumbersome bear is able to keep balance on a board which is supported by a ball, and it can even catch the rings thrown from the actor. The dogs know how to line up and understand the actors' order. These animals might be able to ride a bicycle, jump from one box to another, play magic tricks, and even solve arithmetic problems... Perhaps, they do nothing strange, but their comical movements always make people burst his sides with laughter.

With the entertaining aspect of humour and laughter also the kids will enjoy it. Adults alike this show will keep you entertained with the fast pace and escalating excitement. This acrobatic show in Shanghai is not to be missed!
