Upon arrival, your guide will lead you to the designated comfortable seat and waiting. Along with the stirring music the show starts, you'll see the magician splashes a bowl of water into the air at the beginning. Suddenly, the rain drops and forms an 8-meter-high and 18-meter-wide water curtain. From the flowing curtain, you can enjoy colorful set screen and movement locus of the live performers. 

After the show began, you will see the following wonderful circus show:

"ERA", one of the most popular evening in Shanghai
Shanghai is a dynamic city featuring colorful night entertainments. The show “ERA” in Shanghai has become one of the most popular evening entertainments for tourists in the city.Now,it has been staged for six years.

As a multimillion-dollar stunning acrobatic extravaganza, the first of its kind in China, ERA is a multimedia odyssey whose inspiration is a direct result of the combination of traditional Chinese acrobatic arts and modern technology. Just like Shanghai, ERA evolves through a constant collision between the past and future.

ERA is a love story, yet it is also contemplation across the millennia, a fascination with that other dimension man has yet to conquer: time. ERA's acrobats are on a quest to find that tenuous point of balance, the intersection between X, Y and Z.

Not only will the audience be amazed by the acrobats' control and precision, they will be enchanted by the world that is created through the use of multimedia, technology, lighting and sound effects, elaborate costumes, original live music and a lot more.

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.
                

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 (神舟五号)” flying into the sky, Donghai Bridge across the sea(东海跨海大桥), the speeding maglev trains, etc. occur on the background screen.            

The Happy Circus
Happy Circus is performed in the Central Theatre of Shanghai Circus World. Themed on "Happy Animals, Happy Spectators" and including Sea Paradise, Forest Fun, Prairie Posture and City Homeland, Happy Circus combines animal stars, clowns and aerial acrobatics together, making the whole performance interesting and exciting. It is a perfect choice for families and the kids will fully enjoy themselves by watching these amusing shows.

These cute animals like hilarious monkeys, tactful lions, gentle tigers, lovely dogs, fine horses and others take their turns to present on the stage. The cumbersome bear is able to keep balance on a board which is supported by a ball, and it can even catch the rings thrown from the actor. The dogs know how to line up and understand the actors' order. These animals might be able to ride a bicycle, jump from one box to another, play magic tricks, and even solve arithmetic problems... Perhaps, they do nothing strange, but their comical movements always make people burst his sides with laughter.

With the entertaining aspect of humour and laughter also the kids will enjoy it. Adults alike this show will keep you entertained with the fast pace and escalating excitement. This acrobatic show in Shanghai is not to be missed!
