A street full of cultural surprises

A group of international students in Shenyang enjoys a kaleidoscope of cultural and artistic experiences.

"Careful. That's it. One step at a time." At the community center on Chang'an Street in Shenyang, Liaoning province, a group of international students was attempting traditional Chinese stilts under the guidance of their Chinese instructors. As Muhammad Masood from Pakistan gripped his instructor's hand tightly while taking his first step on the stilts, his fellow students cheered him on enthusiastically.

On Monday, 29 students from over 10 countries and five universities in Shenyang gathered at the community center to explore various aspects of traditional Chinese culture.

After watching an impressive stilt performance, the students were captivated by this unique folk art and eagerly volunteered to try it for themselves.
