Southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region turned 60 this week, and in style! 🎉 On Wednesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, took center stage at a gala in Lhasa, the region’s vibrant capital.
The night sparkled with dynamic song and dance performances, painting a vivid picture of the region’s journey over the past six decades. From high-altitude plateaus to bustling streets, artists showcased how reform and opening up have transformed Xizang into a hub of culture, innovation, and growth. 🌄
Among the guests were Wang Huning and Cai Qi, senior officials who joined Xi in celebrating the region’s milestone. Their presence underscored the importance of Xizang in the broader landscape of the Chinese mainland’s development story.
For travelers and explorers, Lhasa’s gala offered a unique peek at local traditions reborn with modern flair. Think Tibetan masks twirling into neon lights, ancient melodies remixed for today’s audience, and a sense of unity that stretches across mountains and cultures.
