Photo Gallery >>>BEIJING, Oct. 8 -- Wuqiao is known as the hometown of Chinese acrobatics. And after a visit to the county in Hebei Province for their spectacular National Day holiday shows, it's easy to see why.

Entering Wuqiao County, it's hard to miss the acrobatic shows taking place in almost every street and field. The youngest acrobat is just three years old, while the oldest are over sixty. Almost everyone in the county can perform some acrobatic tricks.
