There are many ethnic minorities living in the mountain area of Sichuan (Chinese: 四川), although most of them have used mobile phones to connect with the outside world, they still preserve their old traditions, some of them are quite scary.
This is a small town in Li County(理縣) of Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture(阿壩藏族羌族), Choumeizai wake up in the early morning, so he goes to a local market next to the hotel for mosey.
The market is simple and rough, it is only formed by some temporary stalls opened by the locals. All goods are fresh agricultural produce such as fruits, veggies and poultry, and also...blood?
The blood on the ground comes from a dismembered yak, seems just butchered not long, very fresh. Choumeizai misses the process of slaughter, he is not sure if it's lucky or not.
Going forward a bit, there is more blood on the ground. Even worse, roadsides put many limbs and remnants of yaks, which looks like a mass grave, not sure if it is an illusion, Choumeizai smells blood in the air.
Among others, the locals don't like being models in photos, if you want to take photos, ask first.
