Using the traditional costumes and make-up used in Peking opera, and with a pair of stilts tied to their feet, dancers walk in a line and perform in a circle accompanied by a drumbeat.

This is stilt walking, a traditional Chinese folk art which is often seen at temple fairs and was used during important celebrations in the past. This kind of performance is fondly remembered by many when thinking of the past.
