(CRI Online)    21:16, November 22, 2016

Regarded as one of China's great cultural treasures, Quanzhou marionettes can trace their origins back 2,000 years to the Qin & Han Dynasties. The acrobatic pageantry accompanied by music and singing depicts famous Chinese legends and folktales. Puppeteers must train for many years to master their art. This Quanzhou marionette performance was taking place as part of the 2nd Maritime Silk Road (Fuzhou) International Tourism Festival. [Photo: CRIENGLISH.com/Xu Yang]
