An incredible experience! The performers' skill is amazing. Glad we arrived 15 minutes early to settle in. The English subtitles helped a lot with the story. A great night out in Beijing.

Not going to lie, I wasn't sure about the high pitched singing at first. But by the second act I was totally into it. The acrobatic fighting scenes were a nice surprise.
