Any acrobatic performances in HK?

Will be visiting Hong Kong for several days in November as a tourist. We will probably be staying at the Novotel on Nathan Rd. Lasy year we visited Beijing and saw a very good acrobatic performance. I was wondering if HK has anything similar to the shows in Beijing. I would like to see another if there are any in HK.

Nope, but you may enjoy The House of Dancing Water over in Macau.

Acrobatics are more of a northern Chinese cultural offering. You might see if there happens to be a troupe in Hong Kong during your visit. For a list of cultural activities, both free and paid, in Hong Kong during your trip, go to http://www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/cs_prog_week.php.

For a list of paid programs, go to http://urbtix.cityline.com.hk/internet/action/index.do.

Also try the "Whats On When" website at www.whatsonwhen.com/pages/hong_kong.jml.

Also try the Hong Kong Arts Centre at hkac.org.hk.

Thanks for the information. I've looked at "Time Out" guidebook and could not find any. I'm going to check the sites you've mentioned. Looking forward to my trip.
Thanks for the help.

You won't find any acrobatic show in HK, and the Chinese ones won't come to tour here. First, most tourists who come to HK are from China, not westerners; second, locals don't care either.
