Thousands gathered in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region this weekend to witness the dazzling Lusheng and Horse Fighting Festival, a cultural spectacle blending music, tradition, and adrenaline-pumping competition. 🎶 The event, held in Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, saw performers from the Miao, Yao, and Dong ethnic groups showcase intricate dances and the iconic lusheng—a bamboo wind instrument whose melodies echoed through the mountains like nature’s own playlist 🌄.
Tourists snapped selfies with performers in handwoven costumes adorned with shimmering silver accessories, while crowds cheered at horse fighting competitions, a centuries-old tradition symbolizing strength and community spirit. 🐎💥 Local organizers highlighted the festival’s role in preserving heritage while fostering cross-cultural connections. \"It’s like Coachella, but with more history and fewer flower crowns,\" joked one attendee, capturing the event’s unique blend of old and new.
