By the Lanqiang River, Flowing Horse Gathering.
The Lanqiang River, originating from the Northern Border Mountain, extends for thousands of miles, nurturing the vast grasslands. For centuries, many herder tribes have established enclosures along the rich and fertile riverbanks to serve as winter dwellings to avoid disasters and engage in trade.
The Flowing Horse Gathering is one of the largest enclosures among them.
As spring gave way to summer, it was the prime time of the grassland, and this large enclosure was exceptionally bustling. Many caravans arrived here to purchase the healthy cattle, sheep, and horses from the local herders.
Curling columns of kitchen smoke rose into the sky, and the cacophony of human voices filled the air, as tent after tent lifted their robed entrances to warmly welcome merchants and travelers from all directions.
