"The Original New Year" event

This year's "The Original New Year" includes a series of exciting activities popular with visitors,including,the iconic tradition of "cracking the bones and sucking the marrow".

The dance performances will be filmed and uploaded to Chinese music video platform Tik Tok (also known as Douyin in China).

In addition to riding in a horse-drawn sled and spending a few minutes trying their luck with ancient fur skis,among other traditional experience events available to visitors,this year's lineup of events also provide travelers an opportunity to try on a variety of traditional Chinese garments and shoot a short video of themselves sporting the garments,with the aim of having visitors help promote tourism in Kanas by transforming Kanas Scenic Area into a "must see" destination.

This year's "The Original New Year" is a true exploration into the local culture and the area's many traditional activities in celebration of Chinese New Year. The event provides visitors with a meaningful and memorable experience by giving them an opportunity to enjoy the festival in much the same way local inhabitants have been celebrating it for hundreds if not thousands of years. The event reflects and plays a key role in enhancing the recognition of the local culture and in boosting the growth of the tourism sector in Xinjiang.
