China Acrobat Show: Cirque De Pekin

Experience authentic Chinese acrobatics, an intangible cultural heritage perfected over 2,000 years. Where ancient tradition meets jaw-dropping athleticism. The closing act is the Globe of Death motorcycle performance, where a team of five to eight riders crisscrosses at high speed within a confined spherical cage. Considered one of the best shows to see in Beijing, the China Acrobat Show appeals to all ages, from young children to adults.

It is very visual, and the show is not made of “tricks” but is a feat of skills and fitness. For more information, contact Lucy at 186 0020 8126 (mobile) or on WeChat (ID: lucy18600208126).
