Buzkashi, or the goat-grabbing game, has brought excitement to the Pamir Plateau in Taxkorgan County of Kashi, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. In the contest, riders compete to seize a goat carcass and carry it to a designated area to score, putting their horsemanship, strength and teamwork to the test. This year's event brought together 19 teams from across the county, drawing visitors eager to experience the local culture.
