Muffin and Latte before heading for the circus

The Chinese State Circus has a characteristically quiet charm. The level of skill is so phenomenally high that any razzamatazz gloss is redundant. These distinctively Chinese performance arts are thousands of years old yet they still retain the capacity to entertain in this third millennium.

Featuring Swinging Poles, Spinning Plates, Hats Off!, Contortion, The Shaolin Wu-Shu Warriors, The Monkey King, Olympic Stars, Diablos, the 2008 World Circus Award nominated Sensual Silks and Hoop Diving.
