ONE of the most eye-catching performances on day four of the Llangollen International Eisteddfod came from The Southern Temple Shaolin Monks who had travelled all the way from China to perform.
Inspired to return to Llangollen after a visit in March this year thanks to the “peacefulness and beauty” of Wales and the “warmth of the people”.
The performance group, whose members are a young as nine years old, train six hours a day, six days a week at the monastery in Putian, China.
The International Eisteddfod have welcomed 4,000 performers so far this week, with groups travelling from as far away as Ghana, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Ivory Coast. Tomorrow’s Llangollen Parade will see thousands of performers dancing through the streets from 4pm and promises to be a carnival for all the senses.
