This is the impressive moment an acrobat performed Tongxiang pole-boat stunts in China.

Luo Huawen, a fifth-generation inheritor of the water-based acrobatics, demonstrated his talent using a tall bamboo pole in Anhui.

Footage shows the performer hanging from the bendable rod, using only his feet to grip the pole, resembling a gymnast.

He can be seen balancing his body on the pole, leaving the audience in awe.

The act is part of the province's water-based intangible cultural heritage. This performance, which thrived in the late Qing Dynasty, lasts for about 10 minutes in total and involves more than 20 different moves.
