Circus county

Wuqiao, considered to be the birthplace of Chinese acrobatics, is also a big draw for talent from abroad. Chen Nan reports.

Houng Pa Sith Yang first arrived in Wuqiao, a county in North China's Hebei province, in the summer of 2016 to receive training at the Hebei Wuqiao Acrobatic Art School.

The school, which is surrounded by farmlands and narrow lanes, is different from Yang's home in Vientiane, the capital of Laos.
