Annual 'Heavenly Horses' Festival held in China's Xinjiang

The annual 'Heavenly Horses' Festival is taking place in Xinjiang, China.

The event celebrates centuries-old horse breeding traditions and the famous Ili horses.

The highlight of the festival is a mass horse race across the steppes, known as the '10,000 galloping horses'. Although the exact number varies each year, thousands of horses are released onto the pastures simultaneously, creating spectacular scenes.
