Even with safety gear, the idea of balancing on a turbine-powered hoverboard may sound intimidating for the ordinary. However, the musicians from the Miao ethnic group in Liuzhou City in southern China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region fly while performing.

Several sportsmen stunned the audience on Friday, when they dressed in traditional Miao costumes and played the lusheng, a reed-pipe wind instrument, on flyboards, over the Rongjiang River.

The "Aquashow" is part of the annual Lusheng Performing and Horse Fighting Festival which had been held in Rongshui County for the last 17 years.

Lusheng plays an important role in passing on the Miao people's culture. Dancing to the tunes of the lusheng in festive costumes is an important tradition which has been included in China's list of Intangible Cultural Heritages. (Photos: VCG)
