During China's weeklong National Day holiday beginning Oct. 1, dozens of performers from Zunyi city, southwestern Guizhou Province, performed what they called "single pole river crossing" over the Pingzhou River of the same province.

To finish the feat, a person must stand or do the splits on a bamboo pole floating and constantly rolling on water surface while using another for propelling forward. During the crossing, the performers, to make the performance even move dazzling, also do various stunts to fully demonstrate their excellent skills.
