Some 32 skillful members of the Jinan Acrobatic Troupe are set to stage their breath-taking performances in Okinawa, Japan on Aug 17-27 in a tour aiming to not just entertain local people, but to promote cultural exchanges between the two countries.

One highlight will be a display combining Peking Opera and morden acrobatics, designed to showcase the exquisite charms of Chinese traditional culture.

Founded in 1958, the Jinan Acrobatic Troupe, a world-class performing arts company from East China's Shandong province, has over the decades produced a large number of excellent acrobatics programs and won for itself many international prizes and medals.

The troupe has performed in more than 50 countries including the United States, Germany and Hungary and made a great contribution to China's cultural exchange and the spread of modern acrobatics.
