A "fire walking" performance made a splash in Pan'an County, east China's Zhejiang Province, attracting around 20,000 people who came to watch the amazing show. 

Performers walked through burning charcoal as they participated in the traditional ritual "Lianhuo", or "fire walking," a traditional activity in the village, which has been listed in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of the province. 

Performers were barefoot on the charcoal fire and agitated the fire during the performance.
