During the New Year Holiday, a buffalo body-painting competition was held in the border county of Jiangcheng in south-west China's Yunnan Province.
It was part of a "sachet-throwing carnival" celebrated by people from China, Laos and Vietnam. Covered in brightly colored body paint, each water buffalo represents a different theme, ranging from Chinese development and local cultures to the countries' friendly relations.
