On August 11th, the 2020 Nagqu Qiangtang Chachen Gesar Horse Racing Festival is being held in Nagqu, Tibet. The riders in northern Tibet wore characteristic Tibetan clothes and rode horses, bringing a dazzling equestrian show with speed and strength.
Horse racing to pick up Hada is a popular equestrian event popular among Tibetans. There are a number of white Hadas placed on the track at certain intervals. The rider galloped on his horse, leaned over his horse and leaned over to pick up the Hada on the ground. The faster the horse speeds, the more hada picked up, which proves that the rider's riding skills are better.
Horse racing and shooting is also one of the traditional Tibetan equestrian performances. Multiple target racks are placed on the nearly 100-meter-long track. The rider holds a rifle and leans forward on a galloping horse to complete continuous actions such as loading, aiming, and firing. The scene is thrilling and exciting. There were bursts of gunfire and applause. (Reporter Zhang Wei edited Lu Jie)
