| Video Discription | Muslims across northwest China on Wednesday celebrated their traditional Eid Al-Fitr Festival that marks the official end of the Holy month of Ramadan. In Kashi City of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, more than 30,000 Muslims gathered at the Id Kah Mosque in the morning for the last prayer of Ramadan. As a worldwide tradition, the Muslims sat shoulder by shoulder in an open area and gave their thanks to Allah. Following the prayer was the first daylight meal in a month – a ritual observed with joy after a month of austerity. Streets in Kashi were bustling once again as restaurants reopened, and the feasting began with Sama dance - a Uyghur folk dance people performed when praying for fruitful hunting and good harvest in ancient times and now also a must-do for the holiday celebration. "I've put on new clothes. Later on I'm meeting with friends and other family members," said Ishan Haji, a local resident in Kashi. "I don't feel tired at all (after dancing). It has been a great day for me," said Muhammad Nijat, another Kashi resident. In Qinghai Province -- home to nearly 1.1 million Muslims, a prayer was held at the Dongguan Great Mosque in the capital city of Xining on Wednesday morning, attended by 150,000 people. In Wuzhong City of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, another compact Muslim community, local people started celebration early Wednesday morning. Residents gathered together with their families and friends for their first daytime meal after the Ramadan. In Gansu Province, Muslims also prayed for better life and held various activities to celebrate the religious festival.
