Show in the Shade

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Today we visited a sort of theme park in Wuxi. The park was located behind a wall that was used as a form of intimidation or false representation of an army's fire power, in a battle far back in China's history. The site is now used as a theme park and has also been used for shooting different movies and television programs. Inside the park there was lot of cool scenery, but the most interesting part of our visit was the performance we viewed before touring the whole park.

The show was depicting a battle that took place at the site long ago. Since it was extremely hot and humid out, a few of us walked around to the other side of the ring to sit under some much needed shade. The show was pretty magnificent, as the actors were spinning and jumping off and back on to their horses. There had to have been over 50 actors at a time inside the ring. The level of talent and dedication to perform those maneuvers must have been intense, and it was surprising to witness that in what I thought was a more tight corner in China. Each city is so massive and full talented individuals, that one can find a show like this in many cities in China.
