Chinese Culture Days
A parade opens the festivities on Saturday at 11 a.m., led by a colorful 70-foot, 24-legged dragon weaving through the crowd to dispel bad luck and evil spirits.

New Shanghai Acrobatic Circus Returns to Chinese Culture Days
ST. LOUIS, (SLFP.com), May 4, 2008 - The daring New Shanghai Acrobatic Circus takes center stage at Chinese Culture Days, the Missouri Botanical Garden's annual celebration of Chinese arts, culture, music and cuisine, on May 17 and 18.

A parade opens the festivities on Saturday at 11 a.m., led by a colorful 70-foot, 24-legged dragon weaving through the crowd to dispel bad luck and evil spirits. Martial artists and costumed lion dancers follow, accompanied by gongs and drums to represent happiness and good luck in this Year of the Rat (Shu) in the Chinese zodiac. See the Grand Parade again at 2 p.m. both days.

Watch the Shanghai acrobats perform breathtaking feats of strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and contortion both days at noon and 4 p.m. in the outdoor Cohen Amphitheater.

Some activities will take place within the lovely Grigg Nanjing Friendship Garden, especially beautiful in spring bloom. Take a tour at noon, 2 or 4 p.m. and learn about the ancient symbolism of its plants, garden ornaments and structures. Visitors may watch or participate in Tai-ji at 1 p.m. both days. Tea-tasting will be presented throughout each day.

Dumplings, egg rolls, lo mein and other food court favorites will be served by local restaurants and Chinese organizations.

Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, $3 for Garden members, $3 for children ages 3 to 12, and free for members' children (12 and under). For more information, call 314-577-9400.
