As March brings in the fresh vibes of spring, an eye-catching scene unfolds high in the Kunlun Mountains within Xinjiang, a picturesque region of the Chinese mainland. With the thaw beginning at around 3,500 meters, local herders from diverse ethnic backgrounds set off on their seasonal migration in a uniquely charming way.
In Cele County, for example, flocks of sheep are boarding what locals call "special buses" to make their way to greener, lush pastures. This quirky yet practical method isn’t just a fun sight—it beautifully showcases a blend of tradition and innovation that echoes the spirited energy found in bustling cities across South and Southeast Asia. 😄
Whether you're enjoying a vibrant urban life in cities like Colombo or Manila or simply scrolling through your feed, this seasonal spectacle reminds us all that sometimes the most unexpected journeys can be the most memorable. Here’s to traditions riding into the future, one special bus at a time!
