What are the interesting programs for Eid al-Adha in Xinjiang?

Eid al-Adha in Xinjiang is a traditional festival, and even this festival will be the tourist season in Xinjiang, because Eid al-Adha has many interesting activities.

The first program, of course, is the massacre. It is one of the major festivals in Islam, also known as Eid al-Adha. As the name implies, some animals will be slaughtered to celebrate this festival. Most Muslims are prepared before the festival. At that time, the animals to be slaughtered must be divided into three types: camels, cattle and sheep, depending on the family situation. The slaughtered meat should be divided into three parts for personal use, for relatives and friends, and for the poor.

This is equivalent to putting some pork on our side during the Chinese New Year and inviting friends and relatives to drink soup and so on. In a festive festival, improving everyone's quality of life can give everyone a chance to get together to talk, sing and dance.

The second program is a food festival derived from the first program. Food Festival is not a traditional festival of Eid al-Adha, but a program based on 1 Eid al-Adha. Because Eid al-Adha attracts many foreign tourists, there will be a grand food festival on the day of Eid al-Adha in order to let foreign tourists feel the enthusiasm of the local people and let more people participate.

On the one hand, this can promote the local economic development, on the other hand, it can also make the local tourism more colorful. It is said that people in different places have different eating habits, and Xinjiang's beef and mutton are incomparable in other places. Xinjiang's food culture can also be fully displayed at this time.

The third program is to hold a ceremony. Every year on Eid al-Adha, Muslims gather in big mosques or public places to hold grand ceremonies and celebrations. On this day, it is usually necessary to dress up. Muslims in Xinjiang also have many ethnic groups, so when they gather, they can also see how they dress up and feel the beauty of different ethnic groups.

In the past, this kind of grand event was their own ceremony. With the popularity of tourism and the curiosity of other nationalities, there will be many tourists in this society in the future. Many tourists will do as the Romans do, put on beautiful national costumes and take part in such activities. And usually there will be some performances at this time, and the whole festival will be very lively.

Now the annual Eid al-Adha will become the tourist season in Xinjiang. In order to attract more tourists, they will also have more activities, so the programs of Eid al-Adha will become more and more colorful.
