With a history of more than 2，000 years，bamboo drifting (竹漂) appeared for the first time in the Chishui River area of northern Guizhou Province.People there used to cross the river by standing on a bamboo pole (竿).They invented bamboo drifting in order to make travel more convenient.Nowadays it has developed into a kind of folk sporting performance.Performers need to be highly skilled，which requires them to keep their feet on a nine meter long bamboo pole.It's a quite difficult job.
Bamboo drifting is getting increasingly popular in Guizhou，especially among young people.
Yang Liu，a young girl from Guizhou，has been practicing bamboo drifting under the guidance (指导) of her grandmother since she was seven years old.After 17 years of hard practice，she can finally perform many difficult movements by connecting the traditional art with dance moves.
