STORYLINE:
A regional-level basketball tournament is being held for farmers in China's Xihaigu, a place once labeled the "most unfit place for human settlement" by the United Nations in the 1970s.
As people have shaken off poverty in Xihaigu, northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, sports entertainment has become something easily accessible for locals.
A total of 22 teams compete in the 7-day tournament, which features high-standard sports courts and professional referees.
