There are many different ways and traditions around the globe to welcome the New Year.
In China’s Inner Mongolia, herdsmen hold a spectacular camel festival to celebrate the occasion.
The event is an annual camel relay race and camel beauty contest. The relay race is 50 kilometers long.
Each team has 10 camels, and they should finish 10 courses. For the beauty contest, the camels are judged by their bodies, muscles and hooves.
Other activities such as camel shows, milking camels and twisting camel’s hair will be held during the competition.
Organizers say the event is aimed at promoting traditions and celebrating the winter season.
