2.33-meter tall 'giant' actor in Central China gains popularity as tourists enjoy comparing hand sizes

A "giant" actor, standing at 2.33 meters tall and weighing 130 kilograms, has recently gained widespread attention at the scenic spot of Kaifeng Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City in Central China's Henan Province, according to local news platform Daxiang News.
Videos shared by visitors show the giant actor dressed in fur and using a cane for support during performances. His performance mainly involves interacting with visitors, with five shows held daily, each lasting 20 minutes. The attraction staff said that visitors enjoy taking photos with him, and the most popular activity is comparing hand sizes with the giant.
According to the actor's brother, who performs as his "bodyguard," their father is about 1.8 meters tall, while he and their mother are around 1.7 meters tall. The actor's extraordinary height is believed to be inherited from their grandfather, who stands at 2.1 meters.
The 25-year-old actor hails from Kashgar in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, according to Daxiang News. Before coming to Henan to perform, he assisted his parents with farming.
The actor said that despite this being his first time in Henan, he has adapted well to the environment and is happy to be liked by tourists. He also mentioned that he is working hard to learn Putonghua to enhance audience interactions
Addressing netizens' concerns about his unusual walking posture and potential health issues, the scenic area explained that his exceptional height resulted in uneven leg development, affecting his gait.
However, the staff noted that the actor experiences no discomfort. To aid his movement, the scenic area has provided him with a cane.
The scenic area is currently developing a themed performance centered around the giant actor, allowing visitors to see more of his acts. The script is still in development and will depict the story of a giant and a little person, using their height difference to create a unique viewing experience, scenic area staff told Daxiang News.
