If you are a Chinese wuxia novel fan, you must have heard about the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes." Jin Yong, the author, transforms Mount Hua into a powerful place in the world of martial arts, where all the masters of Kung Fu go to compete.

But do you know where the mountain is? It's in Weinan of Shaanxi Province. Aside from its beautiful scenery, the city of Weinan is hailed as one of the most important cradles of Chinese civilization.

It has a wide variety of intangible cultural heritage, including Laoqiang, which some call the ancient Rock and Roll of the East, and Donglei shangluogu, the dance of beating gongs and drums by villagers of the Donglei Village, and also, leather shadow puppetry.

International students from seven countries were invited to the city, experiencing first-hand the traditional art forms and giving them a fully immersive music tour. Check out their experience.
