PENGAN, China, April 30, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
A cattle-herding festival was launched in Peng'an county, Sichuan province, on
April 30, attracting tourists from all over the country to enjoy this natural
wonder and a newly restored ancient town.
The county is famous for a natural scene called "hundreds of cattle crossing
the river." In a small village of Peng'an near the Jialing River, the upper
tributary of the Yangtze River, hundreds of cattle swim across the Jialing
River in the morning to graze on the central island. The cows make the return
journey across the river at dusk.
The grand scene repeatedly occurs from April to October and has become popular
among tourists. Therefore, the local government launched an annual
cattle-herding festival in 2010. The yearly festival begins on the last weekend
of April.
Peng'an is also well-known for Xiangru Ancient Town, which was the hometown of
Sima Xiangru (179-118 BC), a statesman, poet and musician from ancient China.
