China Trip: Day 3 – An Unbelievable Acrobat Show

May 17, 2007

China, Travel Adventures

And I do mean unbelievable!!! These folks top any gymnastics display that I’ve ever seen. Every time they did something that seemed impossible, they would top it with something even more dangerous. It’s amazing they don’t get injured more often!

The show lasted for at least an hour & was in a venue called “Acrobatics Macrocosm”. I think there were 7 or 8 different acts and I have almost 20 pics to share. Click on more to see them all! You won’t want to miss these. :)

The show began with these women in exotic outfits & headdresses.

Then came the amazingly flexible lady in pink. She started out balancing one set of crystal glassware & ended up with NINE!!!

Then came two incredibly strong men doing handstands on each other with brute strength. They even balanced on each other’s shoulders.

The ladies with spinning plates came next.

Ouch! My head hurts just looking at that! (Not to mention my legs too!)

Wow – only one woman on the bottom supporting three others.

The dude on top looks a lil’ nervous.

Love the backdrop on these next two shots.

This answers the question – “What do you do with 10 women and 3 bicycles?”

This answers the more important question of “What you do with 10 women and ONE bicycle?!”

After the show, we had another fabulous 13-course dinner & headed back to the Jade Palace Hotel for some much needed rest before climbing the Great Wall of China!
