You may be familiar with stilt-walking and the traditional Uygur art of Dawaz. But you probably haven't seen the two skills performed in combination.

Recently, at a water park in Urumqi, in northwest China, a sports teacher named Saimaiti Yiming has given such a surprising performance.

The stilts Saimaiti wears are 68 centimeters high, and the wire rope is 12 meters above the ground. Due to interferance by the wind, Saimaiti uses balance bars for stability.

After a while, he gets settled and walks across the 22-meter wire rope successfully.

Audience members said the performance was very creative and surprising. But there is an old saying: "One minute on the stage means ten years of practice off the stage."

No doubt, Saimaiti did a lot of practicing.
