I bought tickets for the acrobat show which only showed on Saturday evenings (more expensive).
There were other shows like chinese opera on weekdays which were cheaper but because my kids did not understand the language, I booked the acrobat show which was more expensive because it was a weekend.

When we arrived we were given a synopsis and I saw it was regarding the Monkey god. I thought I booked the wrong tickets or something so I asked the staff. She said the Monkey god show has some acrobat performance too. That made no sense to me but apparently they changed the show without any prior notice so I just took it.

The show was good afterall because even though the kids did not understand the language, they enjoyed the acting and the stunts.

We had a good experience on the overall but just felt that I could have just booked the weekday show and saved that difference. But I have to say their service was excellent. They helped to call a cab for every guest and made us stand in a neat queue while waiting. That really helped us end the day comfortably as we didn't have to wander outside trying to catch a cab at 10pm.

Having seen a Chinese Opera in Chengdu, we were anxious to visit another one. We sat enthralled for the hour performance! I don't believe there's a bad seat in the house, since it's stadium seating. They offer subtitles in English (as well as Chinese, Japanese and Korean I believe) There is only one skit performed so it's the luck of the draw which one you'll see. We saw "Monkey King battles Rat Queen" ! The acrobatic feats were awe inspiring with very little songs. I believe only two songs were sung. I read the comments about the short length of the performance, but after seeing it, I totally understand that an hour of THAT type of physical endurance, an hour was long enough. I would return again and recommend it to all ages.

Great way to spend an hour. So much show for such a low price. The combination of playful acting, excellent acrobats, ancient stories and traditional Chinese opera is good for all ages.

There are subtitles in 4 languages on large screens next to the stage for the small bits of talking, but the acting makes the story easy to follow. The theater is modern, clean and comfortable.

The performers are not only actors and singers, but also acrobats. There is also live traditional music accompanying the show.

The ticket office opens 30 minutes before the show, and while you are waiting for the show to start you can take photos in the outfits, watch the actors doing their makeup and listen to a traditional erhu being played.
