A chance encounter with the dutar in Xinjiang

CGTN

00:39

Wander through the old streets of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and step into a humble instrument shop—you might just be greeted by the soulful sound of the dutar. Its gentle, lingering melody carries the rich rhythms of local life, echoing stories of the land and its people. In these unplanned moments, music becomes a bridge, drawing you deep into the cultural heartbeat of Xinjiang.
