The performance - an opening, then four acts and a finale - begins with a dreaming boy who enters into a world of fantasy in which he sees a beautiful fairy phoenix that flies over the sea, wings splashing the waves along the coast. The dreaming boy is attracted by the beauty and runs into the water...

From hoop diving to performances on the aerial rings and teeterboard; from impossible juggling with hands and feet to some unbelievable feats on unicycles, this world-class acrobatic performance is guided by a gentle narrative, beautiful costumes, wonderful lighting and lovely music.

Since the 1980s, the company has been invited and successively performed in more than thirty countries including the United States, Germany, Spain, Britain, Mexico, Netherlands, Switzerland, Japan, Turkey, Canada, Indonesia, Fiji, Cameroon, Guinea and Nigeria. Through the frequent activities of the international tours and performances, the troupe has not only introduced Chinese acrobatic and circus arts worldwide, but also promoted friendship with the peoples of various countries.

In the past 15 years, the company and its acts have performed for tours of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, Mystere of Cirque du Soleil at

in Las Vegas, and Stardust's World Christmas circuses in Germany and the Netherlands. This official tour of North America is under the auspices and aegis of the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China.
