Cirque de Chine---Best show in the smokies!
Thanks to the editors, the list of Governor's Palace has just been changed to the Smoky Mountain Palace Theater. Yet, it 's not fare enough to have that 4-star rating, 'cause this theater is a new theater which has a brand new show---Cirque de Chine SINCE THE YEAR OF 2007, any comments before that belong to the old show at the Governor's Palace. If you count since 2007, it definitely gets a 5-star rating which it fully deserves.
If you have only one night for one show in the Smokies, then this is your best choice----Cirque de Chine. It is a Vegas style grand show at about half price, and the little kids (5 and under) are free! You got to see the stunts, the costumes and the set, they are beautifully integrated. You will see 12 people on one bicycle, girl's hand balance on more than 12-feet height chair pagodas, skillful Chinese YoYo, 5 motorists zooming in one circular ball! The stunts are performed in such an elegant manner. It seems so effortless, yet it definitely a shock if you think it over. Best choice for the whole family, couples and backpackers!
