不倒翁小姐姐VS不倒翁小哥哥
A beautiful girl dressed in Tang dynasty clothing has attracted heaps of curious crowds in the ancient city of Xian as of late. Her tumbler dance performance is so soothing that many passersby try to reach for her soft hands.
The goal of this daily performance isn't just to attract tourists and others passersby, but to also pay homage to the beauty and charm of ancestors from the Tang dynasty, dating back to a time period between 618 and 907.
Ever since these tumblers have received online attention, there has been a challenge to imitate them from netizens.
"The 'real tumbler' performers were selected from more than 100 performers," one staff shared. To make sure they won't fall, male performers have to be 175 centimeters tall and weigh no more than 60 kg. For women, they have to be about 163 centimeters tall and weigh no more than 50 kg.
Their task isn't as easy as it may seem. They have to interact with visitors throughout the entire performance (with a smile), while also championing their balancing skills with the tumbler wobbling around.
