SHIJIAZHUANG, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- More than 20 trainees from Bangladesh have been training hard in recent days at the Hebei Wuqiao Acrobatic Art School in Wuqiao County, dubbed the "cradle of Chinese acrobatics." They are scheduled to conclude their study tour in early September and return home as acrobatic performers or educators.

Hebei Wuqiao Acrobatic Art School started to admit overseas acrobatic trainees in 2002 and has trained more than 600 of them since then.

The origin of Wuqiao acrobatics can be traced back to the Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-220 A.D.). It was inscribed as one of the first batch of intangible cultural heritages at the state level in 2006. Wuqiao has in recent years scaled up its efforts to sustain and popularize this time-honored treasure.
