Shaolin Martial Arts Show - A Breathtaking Performance

China: a monolithic country of diverse terrain is home to more than 1/3 of the world population

. Its ancient traditions and culture transcending into the present is a form of intrigue and fascination for many visitors to the country. Annually, Shanghai, China, holds one of the largest exhibitions and trade fairs in Asia: Shanghai Expo. In this is also held a marvelous display of ancient arts that has today become a mysterious phenomenon.

The Shaolin Martial Arts Show will operate for two months usually in the Entertainment Hall of the Expo Venue, with its premier performance commencing early July. There will be four shows for the day, each an expose of traditional Kung fu intermingled with acrobatic, magic and dance. The performance, lasting 45 minutes each, stays true to the values imparted by the Shaolin temple in terms of philosophy and aesthetics.

Many Shaolin monks gather to demonstrate precision techniques in martial arts such as the meditative secret behind their ability to survive a knife or sword attack: qigong. The monks will also perform Shaolin boxing. There will be younger and older monks; younger monks equally adept and impressive as the older, more experienced ones. Visitors to the Expo are at liberty to request these monks to even teach them some of the basic Shaolin Kung-fu moves. The use of acrobatic, magic and dance enhance the visual aesthetics of the show and makes it appeal to a wider audience. For Kung-fu fans the Shaolin action alone would be an unforgettable experience.

While you explore the many avenues of entertainment available at the Expo and are meanwhile looking for some sensible accommodation, try The Langham Yangtze Boutique Shanghai with its exceptional luxuriant rooms that are attributed to art deco reminiscent of 1930s Shanghai. One of the most iconic Shanghai hotels with many dining options, from restaurants to cafes, it includes one of the best Cantonese restaurants in the whole city. This hotel in Shanghai is complete with a host of modern conveniences and comforts from spa and fitness facilities to Wi-Fi all around the hotel.
