Foreigners captured by the charm of Kunqu Opera in Gaoyang

A group of ten foreign students from Russia, France, Myanmar, Vietnam, Mongolia, Bangladesh, and Malaysia embarked on a cultural exploration journey to Gaoyang County, north China's Hebei Province from Thursday to Saturday.

During their visit to a primary school at Hexi Village, they enjoyed the Kunqu Opera performance by local students, teachers and inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, while learning from them some singing techniques. The event was hosted by China News Network.

The Kunqu Opera in Gaoyang boasts a history of more than 400 years. And in recent years, the Opera has been integrated into local school curriculum, fostering a new generation of young enthusiasts for the ancient art.
