Every year around this time, Tibetan nomads gather in Litang County for a spectacular horse racing festival. The Khampas dress in all their finery, adorned in gold, silver and coral for the event. Hanging sideways on the horseback to scoop up silk scarves, or standing up at full gallop to shoot at targets, the nomads display their skills and glory, as though their lives counted on it. Join CGTN’s Tao Yuan in the “sky county” high on the Tibetan Plateau for a breathtaking race.
