Cirque de Soleil - Chinese Style!

Peter is a genius! He was looking through my travel book on Beijing and discovered an acrobatics show that they hold every night at the Chaoyang Theatre. Ok, I’m sure you’re all thinking that this is a pretty touristy thing right? Haha, well – you’re right.

Peter, Pierre and myself went to the show and bought the cheapest tickets possible…and to our surprise, we ended up with second row-centre stage seats! We were pleasantly surprised. The show last about an hour and a half and was full of crazy and bizarre stunts only seen in shows like Cirque de Soleil. It reminded me a lot of a low budget Cirque de Soleil show, but the talent of the performers was just as good – if not better…and the stunts were different and unique from what I had seen before.

Although it was touristy, I am so glad we went – it was such a great idea!
