House of Dancing Water show returns to Macau

A reboot of House of Dancing Water premiered at the City of Dreams casino resort in Macau on May 7, 2025, followed by its public debut two days later. The show's first run started in 2010, but was forced to close a decade later when the pandemic severely cut tourism in the city. Now it is back with world-class stage performances by actors performing aerial ballet and 25-metre (82ft) high dives. Their watery stage is the size of more than five Olympic-sized swimming pools and is spiced up with effects, including curtains of water.

‘More important than life': cancer-stricken China dancer keeps performing in major shows

A famous dancer in China who was diagnosed with breast cancer and endured dozens of rounds of medical treatment last year still devotes herself to dancing. Advertisement Zhu Jiejing, a 39-year-old principal dancer with the Shanghai Dance Theatre Company, says dancing is more important to her than life itself. Zhu shot to fame with her lead roles in prominent dances at the state media CCTV's Spring Festival Gala Show four times in the past five years. The show is the most watched TV programme in China. She was absent from the stage for almost a year in 2024 after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Zhu Jiejing shot to fame with her regular appearances on the most watched television show in China.

Influencers, rappers, YouTubers and fans: AC Milan and Liverpool's modern media

The days of football clubs travelling abroad accompanied only by a familiar press pack have been consigned to history. Advertisement And it is not just the extra TV cameras, pundits, worldwide media and club legends – a term liberally applied in some cases – that jump on the travelling bandwagon. No, space these days is found for YouTubers, fan channels, bloggers and, in the case of AC Milan, a Chinese rapper. Simba Siiviba, who boasts almost 800,000 followers on mainland social media platform Weibo, routinely incorporates AC Milan into his lyrics. One of his songs, El Capitano, was written in tribute to ex-Milan skipper Massimo Ambrosini. 'I put so many AC Milan posts on Weibo and TikTok,' Simba told the Post.

It's my goal to have AC Milan as a big part of my identity, and my performances.'

China's first Legoland opens in Shanghai

A giant 26-metre (85-foot) Lego figure named Dada welcomed visitors to the new Legoland resort in Shanghai. The resort, which opened on July 5, is the first in China. It is one of 11 parks worldwide and was built with 85 million Lego bricks. Among the main attractions is Miniland, which replicates well-known sights using Lego bricks. It features landmarks across China, like Beijing's Temple of Heaven and Shanghai's Bund waterfront. There is also a boat tour through a historic Chinese water town built with Lego bricks. 'My first impression is it is a good recreation, like a real fairyland of Lego,' said Ji Yujia, a Lego fan who visited on opening day. The resort was developed in conjunction with the Shanghai government by Merlin Entertainments and the Lego Group. The resort also features performances by Legoland characters. Tickets start at 319 yuan (HK$349 or US$44).
