Traversing the deep snow on yakback – in the Taxkorgan Tajik autonomous region in Xinjiang, these three men are riding a yak to go „goat-grabbing“. The tradition with the slightly strange name is a folk sport that was added to Xinjiang’s list of cultural assets in 2009. Riders try to catch a goat skin from the back of their yak – a turbulent sport. Those who fall off land softly but coldly in winter snow.
