Junba Village is located on the Lhasa River. At the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century, the villagers began to fish as their main business in order to survive.
In order to make working time interesting, the boatmen have a cowhide boat dance.
According to the cowhide boat dancers, the cowhide boat used to be the most important means of transportation. When there was no waterway, they would walk on their backs on their backs.
In order to relieve fatigue while walking, fishing people compose what they see into songs and sing them.
Hundreds of years later, the performance and singing of the cowhide boat dance still follow the traditions of the ancestors.
The current villagers of Junba Village have "going ashore" to live, but they will still carry their cowhide boats on their backs and dance the ancient cowhide boat dances on traditional Tibetan festivals such as Seton Festival and Wangguo Festival.
