Tajiks in Xinjiang celebrate coming of spring

Residents of Kashgar in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region splash water on each other on March 18, as part of local celebrations to mark the coming of spring.

As a traditional Tajik festival, the celebration normally falls on March 21, the same day as lunar calendar's vernal equinox, a time considered auspicious by Tajik people to pray for the coming year. [Photo by Jin Wei/Asianewsphoto]
