Another (!) birthday celebration we had was going to the Acrobatic Show, named “Daughters of Guilin”. There was meant to be a beautiful story associated with it.. but unfortunately was told only in Chinese… so all 4 of us missed the story π Interesting and surprisingly, this particular acrobatic show only had locals – entirely the opposite to the previous Acrobatic Show we attended a few weeks ago, which was almost entirely foreigners. I can’t figure out why it was like that, we booked both using the same company!
The good thing was, this show was totally different from the previous one – different tricks/stunts, and there was more dancing. It was really gorgeous – I just loved their colourful, glittery costumes! We really enjoyed it – it was a fun night π
Running on the top of each other’s shoulders, like it’s no big deal
Cripes I wouldn’t like being the guy on teh bottom

HOW did they manage to do this?!

Juggling hats

Really pretty acrobatics

That 3rd guy just leapt up there!

Cool acrobatics on ropes

The guys at the top were spinning the guys, with no safety harness!

Gorgeous costumes


Amazing stuff!! π
Yeah I was mucho impressed, the acrobatic shows in China are just brilliant!
looks like an incredible show!
and yes, I wouldn’t want to be that guy on the bottom either.. the 3 guys standing on him must total at least 400 pounds!!
Haha yeah, he must be reaaaaally strong. I’d want to be the guy on the top π
I watched that show too! HAHA! One of my favorite things to do in China were these acrobatic shows!
Totally agree, they’re way fun and the CHinese do it best IMHO!
Very cool. How many birthday celebrations did you have? π
Heheh we split it over a few days π
