The Lingling International Circus City reopened last Friday after six months of renovations. In addition to an upgraded circus theatre, new amenities include the Lingling Animal World, an animal exhibition that covers 233,000 square meters.
The exhibit includes dozens of animals such as elephants, parrots and white tigers. The adjacent Lingling Parent-Child Amusement Park includes more than a dozen rides and attractions. Future plans for Circus City include a hotel, street performers and a museum. Pictured are acrobats performing between circus acts.
China announced and implemented on May 15 a policy allowing visa-free entry of foreign tourist groups aboard cruise ships via all cruise ship ports along the country's coastline.
China and Georgia are set to waive visa requirements for travelers starting May 28.
