China is renowned for many things &#8211; craftsmanship, tradition, extraordinary feats &#8211; and ERA, perhaps the most famous of all acrobatic shows China offers &#8211; brings together <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the elements. On offer as a family friendly option, families visiting Shanghai would be hard pressed to find a competitor for the excitement, fun, and energy that makes the ERA acrobatic show a perfect all rounder. Regardless of whether you\u2019re traveling with high maintenance teens, energetic ten year olds, parents who want a break, or you just want to create a truly memorable experience, ERA delivers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curious as to why this is such a great experience? Let\u2019s take you through it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ERA &#8211; Time Journey 2 is next level entertainment<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this is your first visit to China, then you won\u2019t have experienced the original ERA show. Combining stunning acrobatics, incredible lighting, gorgeous costumes, and dynamic vocal and acting performances, it is easy to see how ERA quickly rose to become a must-see item on the list of travelers to Shanghai.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Originally premiering in 2005, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ERA<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intersection of Time<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was a groundbreaking fusion of Chinese tradition and futuristic performance art, running successfully for 15 years and becoming a symbol of modern Shanghai entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2021, it was reborn as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ERA 2 \u2013 Journey Through Time and Space<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, expanding its original vision into a new narrative emphasizing human connection, cultural pride, and Shanghai\u2019s global spirit. Recognized by China\u2019s Ministry of Culture with multiple national awards, this show now stands as the flagship performance of China\u2019s stage art innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seamlessly blending traditional cultural themes with the latest in lighting, acrobatics, and daring moves, the original ERA captivated audiences like no other show. The unique domed theater with its 360 degree views that seats over 1,600 guests set the bar high, so, it\u2019s fair to say expectations of the legendary ERA &#8211; Time Journey 2 were very high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re pleased to report, the new and improved ERA definitely delivers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to expect from ERA &#8211; Time Journey 2<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This multimillion-dollar production represents the pinnacle of Chinese acrobatics. Building on the legacy of its predecessor, it brings together modern dance, aerial acts, martial arts, and multimedia projections to create a narrative of love and destiny across time and space. Every leap, spin, and flip reflects the essence of Shanghai. The themes of the show move between romanticism, innovation, power, and creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retaining all the original show\u2019s highlights, guests can still expect to experience the adrenaline-pumping \u2018Big Ball Flying Car\u2019 &#8211; an unrivalled feat of motorcycle handling skills. It\u2019s an act that makes watching it edge-of-your-seat exciting. Equally remarkable but with a softer energy are the elegant aerial silk dancers, who are breathtaking heights perform artistic moves that are reminiscent of ballet &#8211; performed meters from the ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike conventional acrobatic performances, ERA 2 uses 3D mapping, holographic imagery, and live instrumental music to enhance traditional craftsmanship.
