The 23-year-old performance artist, Yang Liu, from southwestern China's Guizhou province, has become a famous young artist online for her dances "on a river." Perched on a 9-meter-long single bamboo pole, Yang can dance Chinese-style ballet and even perform splits.
"I started learning 'Duzhu Drifting' at the age of seven with my grandmother," she said, taking her ten years on honing the skills of moving and dancing smoothly on the river.
Duzhu Drifting is an ancient and mysterious folk stunt originating from the Chishui River in Guizhou. It has been included in the 9th Ethnic Minority Traditional Sports Games in 2011."
