Chapter 126 Chinese Acrobats I saw Chinese acrobats perform in April of 2002 in Shanghai when I went to China with the La Crosse delegation (LLFA). I’ve never seen anything like their performance. It was amazing, fabulous and many other great words that could describe it. I have always wondered how many hours circus performers practice to make it so great. How many times do they fall or make mistakes before they get their routines down so it is ready for the performances that we see? They make it look so easy, but as we know anything that looks that easy isn’t. There are circuses like The Greatest Show on Earth, Cirque Du Soleil and others. They are great also but the Chinese Acrobats are different from those performances. You can go on YouTube and see videos of them and what it is like but it is much better if you can actually see them perform. If anyone goes to China and gets the chance to go to a performance, they should do so. Chapter 127 Tourist Sites in Luoyang (Longmen Grottoes,...
