More than 20 foreign acrobatics students experienced traditional Chinese New Year customs with artists in Hebei province on Jan 28. 

The students from Ethiopia, Kenya and other countries are studying at China Wuqiao Acrobatic Art School in Wuqiao county. They wrote spring festival couplets, emulated paper-cutting and made friends with local calligraphers and paper-cutting artists, learning more about China and the Chinese New Year.
