Dance of Light and Shadow
As an opening act that guides the audience into the performance, its core is to create a dreamlike fairyland atmosphere. A huge crystal chandelier slowly descends, and the performers either dance gracefully in the light and shadow, their skirts spreading out like petals; or they are covered in glow sticks and jump up and down with elastic bands to perform difficult moves, accompanied by melodious music, gradually leading the audience into a dreamlike fantasy world.
The Fast and the Furious
Focusing on the display of speed and courage. Four motorcycles speed and weave through a ring of iron spheres, sometimes pushing two of the spheres near the audience. Without a complex plot, it directly presents the impact of extreme speed through the motorcyclists' high-speed stunts, allowing the audience to experience the adrenaline rush up close.
The Magic Wheel of Fire
A performance showcasing humanity's challenge to the limits. Six Colombian performers complete a series of high-risk stunts, including rope skipping and blindfolded walking, on a high-speed rotating wheel 22 meters in the air. With minimal safety precautions throughout, the core of the show is to convey a spirit of adventure through a series of performances that push the limits of physical endurance. Each action elicits gasps of amazement and cheers of tension from the audience.
Illusion
Creating a fairytale-like fantasy scene. The stage is shrouded in mist, accompanied by special effects of "light butterflies" fluttering to the music, while actors dressed in light gauze float in the air like roly-poly toys. There's also a surprise giraffe entrance midway through the performance. Without a tight plot, the core is to provide the audience, especially young children, with a gentle and dreamlike visual experience through graceful movements, fantastical lighting, and adorable animals. Furthermore, some actors with long hair will perform suspended in mid-air, showcasing the limits of human physical aesthetics.
The Hollywood Circus
This show delivers joy through nonsensical interaction. Clowns in brightly colored costumes appear on stage with prop carts and treasure chests. There's no fixed performance routine; instead, they entertain the audience with exaggerated expressions, comical physical movements, and random interactions. The core idea is to provide pure joy through close-up, fun interaction, serving as a crucial element in creating a cheerful atmosphere throughout the show.
Opening Hours
The opening hours of the circus are from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (circus show starts from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.). That means you can get into the stage 1.5 hours to wait for the start of the performance.
Daily performance time
Guangzhou Chimelong International Circus regularly features single performances from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM throughout the year. The venue typically opens for admission at 5:00 PM, except for performances on November 21st and 28th, which are postponed to 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM.

How to get there？
If you take a taxi from the city center or Guangzhou Railway Station, the journey takes about 30-40 minutes and costs approximately 60-80 yuan, making it a convenient option. For the subway, from Tianhe or Zhujiang New Town in the city center, you can take Line 3 to Tianhe Coach Terminal, then transfer to Line 7 to Kengkou Station. The journey takes about 1 hour and costs 8-10 yuan. From Kengkou Station, you can walk or take a taxi to Chimelong Resort. If you are at Guangzhou South Railway Station, you can also take Line 2 directly to Tianhe Coach Terminal, then transfer to Line 7, which takes about 30 minutes.
1. The gray area contains regular seats. First come, first served. If you don't grab seats quickly, the view will be very poor if you enter late; not recommended.
2. If you have a regular seat, prioritize E3 and B3 (last row). For E3, enter through gate 9; for B3, enter through gate 2. The same applies to Chimelong hotel guests' areas; grab E2 and B2 (first row).
3. The blue area is reserved for hotel guests within the park; the seats are slightly better, but still not great.
4. At least a first-class seat is recommended to ensure a comfortable view and enjoy the show.
5. If you're buying VIP seats, V2 is recommended, V3 is not. V3 requires you to look up the entire time, and because the parade route is behind you, the view is poor and inconvenient.
6. Audience members will be invited on stage to participate in the performance from time to time, primarily in the front rows. Water will be sprayed onto those in front during the performance; if this bothers you, choose your seats carefully.
7. If you have access to the media section, the media seats are highly recommended – excellent view and strong interactive element!
