Young acrobats inject energy into tightrope walking
URUMQI - Nurman Guli wears sneakers most of the time - except when she is walking on a tightrope wearing high heels.
The 16-year-old acrobat might be the only tightrope walker in high heels in Xinjiang.
Tightrope walking is known as Dawazi in Xinjiang, and it is believed to have been performed for about 2,000 years.
