Kazak nomads watch a performance in front of ancient stone shields at the Sandaohaizi summer pasture in Qinghe County, Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. More than 4,000 Kazak nomads migrate there to graze animals in the pasture, which is at its best this time of year. Sandaohaizi is home to three lakes as well as huge relics of grassland culture, including stone coffins and stone shields, used in sacrifices by nomads nearly 3,000 years ago, according to archaeologists.
