Bahtiyar Jumahan and his wife Gulbanur Kurqak are members of an art troupe in the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County at more than 4,000 meters above the sea level. The art troupe was founded in 1956 and has retained the tradition of touring among villages in the county to entertain the villagers with live performances. The performances prove to be a popular attraction as every ethnic Tajik, young or old, enjoys singing and dancing. "Our performances show a glimpse of real Xinjiang. We hope more and more people can know more about Xinjiang through folk songs and dances," the couple said. (Xinhua/Lan Hongguang)
