    Sticking to tradition

    However, some herders choose to follow the old method of trekking their herds to winter pastures, believing in the adage of "survival of the fittest".

    In late November, 230,000 camels, cattle and sheep marched across snow-covered mountains from Jeminay county, Altay, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, to winter pastures 100 kilometers away, forming a spectacular procession.

    Azat Tospuhan and his younger brother took 200 sheep on the journey.

    "We must reach our winter pasture before the heavy snow arrives to ensure a safe winter for the livestock. To prepare for this, we have stocked up on ample feed and forage and have warm shelters ready," he said.

    Special service vehicles nicknamed "mobile happy stations" were sent by the government along the route. The stations carried forage for the animals, and provided herders with hot water and meals, and devices to charge their mobile phones. Doctors were also available to check the herders' physical condition and provide medication if needed.

    "Along the way, we listen to the radio and check messages on our cellphones without worrying about running out of battery. We can take a rest if we want. The happy stations truly solve major problems we face during the migration," said Bardihan Narenhan, a herder.

    When they arrive at their destinations, herders can move into furnished accommodation with power, water and a mobile signal. Newly-built sheds also help protect livestock from snowstorm and wild animals.
