Spring is in full swing in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where herder families have wrapped up a four-day trek to guide thousands of sheep to the lush Bayanbulak Grassland. 🌄 This seasonal migration, a centuries-old tradition for the Uygur community, marks the start of a vibrant grazing season.
Imagine a road trip—but with bleating sheep instead of playlists! 🚗💨 Herders navigate rugged terrain and shifting weather to reach the spring pastures, ensuring their flocks have ample food after winter. The journey isn’t just about survival; it’s a cultural heartbeat for nomadic life in Xinjiang.
Now settled, families are setting up temporary homes while sheep graze under wide-open skies. Local authorities say this migration supports both livelihoods and sustainable land use. Want to know how tech like GPS collars is blending with tradition? Stay tuned for updates!
