Single-bamboo drifting, known as “water ballet”, is being performed at Jinghu Lake, located in North Putuo Mountain of Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, offering an extraordinary visual experience. This unique traditional folk art utilizes single sticks of bamboo as both boats and oars. With a long bamboo pole in hand and poised gracefully on another pole, the performer navigates the waters with finesse, showcasing the ability to control and balance, as well as the beauty of this traditional folk sport.
