When the sun dips behind the Tianshan Mountains, Urumqi’s parks and public squares transform into vibrant dance floors. From traditional Uygur folk moves to modern beats, dozens or even hundreds of people gather daily, lacing up their shoes and syncing their steps to the rhythm.💃🕺
These colorful meetups aren’t just about learning new steps—they’re a living celebration of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's rich cultural tapestry and a powerful symbol of ethnic unity. As CGTN’s Chen Yuan reports, the hours-long events highlight how dance bridges generations and backgrounds, creating a sense of community that resonates far beyond the music.
For young news enthusiasts and global adventurers, Urumqi’s daily dances offer a unique window into grassroots culture in the Chinese mainland. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most authentic stories unfold in your own backyard—just follow the music!🎶
