Chinese Tightrope Artist Breaks Two World Records

A Chinese tightrope artist from the Xinjiang Autonomous Region is set to break two world records. Ahdili Wuxiuer is walking a kilometer and a half-long rope at more than 1,600 meters above sea level, the highest ever.

Ahdili, known as the ‚Tightrope Prince‘, is also set to defy the high winds by passing over his apprentice on the wire.

Ahdili’s student, Saddar, walks the rope to meet his master half-way.

While Saddar leans back on the rope, Ahdili pass over him by walking over his chest.

Tighrope walking is a traditional Uyghur art form, and Ahdili is a sixth-generation descendant of a tightrope walking family.

This is not the first time the Tightrope Prince has broken a Guinness World Record. Ahdilli spent three weeks running on a tightrope seven years ago.
