Narrated by the Monkey King, one of the most famous characters in Chinese folklore, this spectacular show brings together the martial arts warriors from the Shaolin Temple and the Tai An Acrobatic Troupe.

Featuring world-class acrobatics, gymnastics and martial arts from the famous Shaolin Warriors, the show includes back-flipping acrobats spiraling through rotating hoops, a dizzying succession of plate-spinning divas, candelabra-balancing knotted contortionists, swinging Chinese pole balancing, beautiful Beijing bicycle balancers and a stunning performance of the Lion Dance.
