Waist Drum Dance
Huaqing Pool
Butterfly Spring
Top Seven Romantic Hot Springs in China |
Ansai is a relatively poor county in northern Shaanxi, but the people here have created a unique dance routine marked by its rustic simplicity. With a large troupe of dancers, sometimes over 100 strong, jumping and dancing in unison to the beats of drums, this dance gives an awesome outdoor performance against a background of rolling hills and deep valleys. It exhibits a strong and vigorous display of bold and unrestrained body movements. Kicking up a storm of dust, it seems to say that life is hard; defiantly, they are determined to conquer hardship. This is the Ansai Waist Drum Dance, an art form of local invention, unknown anywhere else in the world. |
