Single-bamboo drifting

Single-bamboo drifting or duzhu drifting (Chinese: 独竹漂)^[1] is a sport traditionally practiced by various people inhabiting the Chishui River basin in Guizhou Province. Practitioners either perform dance movements or race one another using the bamboo log as balance. The practice originated as a way for loggers to transport their lumber elsewhere, but gradually became the modern day practice.
