The Jiuquan dibengzi, a highly popular traditional folk dance, was staged on Feb 3 at the Gansu province's Chinese New Year 2026 intangible cultural heritage promotion and exhibition series Longnan.
Jiuquan recorded a grain-sown area of nearly 1.03 million mu (68,666 hectares) and a total output of 587,100 metric tons in 2025, reaching 101.8 percent and 102 percent of the provincial targets, respectively.
Nestled within Jiuquan, Gansu, lies Aksay — the province's only Kazakh autonomous county. Here, cuisine is more than sustenance; it is a living narrative of nomadic life.
