The best part is we spent little money and still enjoyed everything. I was genuinely surprised🥳! ✨【Must-Do 1: Grand Circus — The elderly were completely captivated】 Booked VIP seats right away! The view was perfect and super wide👀 ▪️Highlight moment: During the death wheel act, my dad kept patting his thigh saying, “The performers are amazing!”👏 ▪️Super engaging: The clown at intermission made my mom laugh so hard she got wrinkles, no dull moments at all😄 💡Tip: You don’t have to pick the most expensive seats! The performers make sure to engage the whole audience~ ✨【Must-Do 2: Animal World — 20 yuan for great value】 No driving!
