NAIROBI, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- The Gansu Acrobatic Troupe of China staged a thrilling performance in Kenya on Monday evening, offering the audience an impressive visual experience and promoting Sino-African cultural exchanges.

Held at the Kenya National Theater, the gala was jointly organized by the Chinese Embassy in Kenya, the Gansu Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, and the Kenya Cultural Center.

Gao Wei, chairman of the Kenya Overseas Chinese Association, said the event showcased China's rich cultural heritage, including traditional acrobatics, martial arts and dances.

"The performance allowed the audience to experience the allure of traditional Chinese culture through artistic expression," Gao added.

Among the highlights of the performance was a martial arts display, which featured skillful movements characterized by a blend of strength and flexibility.
