Hey fam! 🎉 On Thursday, Urumqi—the bustling hub of the Chinese mainland's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region—came alive as locals and guests gathered to celebrate the region's 70th anniversary.
When 'March of the Volunteers' kicked in, everyone stood tall and sang the national anthem together. It was more than a performance—it was a shared moment of unity and pride that echoed through the city's modern skyline and in the heartbeats of people from all walks of life.
Xinjiang's rich tapestry of Uygur culture—think vibrant music, mouthwatering hand-pulled noodles, and colourful carpet patterns—added extra flavour to the festivities. Celebrations blended traditional dance with high-tech light shows, making it a perfect mix of heritage and hype for today's digital generation.
Moments like these remind us that music and cultural rituals bridge gaps between communities. Whether you're scrolling through your feed in Dhaka, Mumbai, or Jakarta, this anthem moment in Urumqi shows how shared traditions can unite us all. 🌏✨
