Yushu City, a gem in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province, just wrapped up its thrilling three-day Horse Racing Festival, blending adrenaline-packed races with vibrant cultural celebrations. 🌾 Over 10,000 spectators flocked to the Zhaxike racecourse last week, cheering as riders showcased their skills in a dazzling display of tradition and athleticism.
The event, part of the larger Sanjiangyuan Ecological Culture Tourism Festival, highlighted the region’s deep ties to Tibetan heritage. Think: thundering hooves, intricately decorated saddles, and local artisans sharing crafts inspired by the plateau’s breathtaking landscapes. 🎪
For travelers and culture enthusiasts, Yushu’s festivals are a golden ticket to explore Qinghai’s unique blend of nature and tradition. As one attendee put it: 'It’s like stepping into a living postcard—where every gallop tells a story.' 📸✨
