A grand show of Tibetan songs and dances was put on stage in
Beijing on Tuesday, to kick off the Fifth Beijing International
Dance Festival.
The show titled 'Zang Mi,' or 'the Riddle of Tibet,' featured
famous Chinese dancing artist Yang Liping, and dancers of the
Tibetan ethnic groups from Gansu, Yunnan, Qinghai and Sichuan
provinces as well as the Tibet Autonomous Region.
Well-decorated stage with properties brought from Tibet, florid
costumes and unique folk dances gave the audience a splendid view
of the Tibetan culture.
The show will be performed at the Poly Theater from November 13
to 15. Over the next couple of weeks, the international dance
festival will also host delegates from the US, the UK, Canada,
Spain, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong, bringing different
styles of dance performances.
