Herdsmen drive livestock to winter pastures in Xinjiang

Herdsmen were spotted driving their livestock to winter pastures on September 6 in Altay, Xinjiang. To ensure the natural pastures have time to recuperate, Habahe County organized herdsmen from five towns to transfer 200,000 head of livestock to winter pastures in an orderly fashion starting on September 1. Along the migration route, near Kanas Lake and Baihaba National Forest Park, the beautiful and unique scenery, together with the plumes of dust raised by the moving herds, creates a spectacular sight.
