'Xinjiang Is a Nice Place' opens for a third year

In the Turpan city exhibition area, a man, Torshun, gave a performance of nazikum, a type of dance.

Dressed in intricately patterned attire and wearing a small floral cap, he danced to lively and upbeat music.

His exaggerated dance moves included bending his knees and leaning his body forward while swinging his arms vigorously and sometimes, he squatted down, extending his arms and bending his wrists to imitate a duck, making the audience laugh.

Nazikum is a nationally recognized form of intangible cultural heritage, and is usually performed during the agricultural off-season or at weddings, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere.

As the performance continued, a woman dressed in a red costume jumped into the booth and spontaneously began dancing the yangko.

Torshun stepped closer to her, squeezing his face to make funny facial expressions.
