Xibe ancient city observes 'migration' with colorful events

Located in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region's Qapqal Xibe autonomous county, the Xibe ancient city showcases the Xibe ethnic group's traditional crafts and customs that are well-preserved and passed down from generation to generation.

During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), groups of soldiers and their families of the Xibe ethnic group were ordered to migrate westward to Xinjiang to garrison the border and settle down.
