Spring is here, and in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a unique seasonal tradition is getting a modern upgrade! 🌄 Every year, herders in Cele County embark on a centuries-old migration to lush pastures as the Kunlun Mountains thaw. But this time, their flocks are catching a ride on ‘special buses’—trucks outfitted to safely transport sheep across rugged terrain at altitudes of 3,500 meters.
Imagine this: Dozens of bleating sheep hopping into vehicles like they’re headed to a grassy Coachella 🎵. Local herders, from Uygur and other ethnic groups, say the buses save time, protect livestock from harsh weather, and add a dash of 21st-century convenience to their nomadic lifestyle. 🛣️
Experts note the move highlights Xinjiang’s efforts to blend tradition with innovation, ensuring sustainable herding practices while preserving cultural roots. Want more quirky, culture-rich updates? Stay tuned! ✨
