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.

These cute animals like hilarious monkeys, tactful lions, gentle tigers, lovely dogs, fine horses and others take their turns to present on the stage.
