Wow..that looks awesome. I’ve loved going to the circus since I was a kid. I think the last time I went was when my now young adult children were very little. This is definitely something I’d love to see. Thank you!
I loved going to the circus when I was a child and my favorite part was the acrobatics and seeing bodies tumble gracefully through the air.
The Chinese circus is one of the most magical things ever. The acrobatics are super unique. They make it look so easy!
That looks like a whole bunch of stuff that I’d absolutely never be able to do! Looks like an excellent show!
