Drift on a bamboo with a width of only 13 cm! It's not a kungfu movie but a traditional performance in SE China's Fujian.
FUZHOU, Aug. 19, 2019 (Xinhua) -- Single bamboo drifting, also known as "Zhanmu", dates back to over 600 years ago. It was once used to transport logs by locals, but nowadays has become a performance to attract visitors.
It entails standing on a floating Moso bamboo pole on the water's surface, and propelling it with a thin stick of bamboo. Adept drifters are able to go back, forward and around on the pole easily.
