Litang Horse Riding and Racing Festival
Litang Horse Racing Festival has long been an internationally famous Tibetan festival. The predecessor of Litang Horse Riding Festival was the traditional horse racing activity of the Litang Tibetan people on June 3 of Tibetan calendar, which has a history of more than 400 years. In 1964, the local government fixed this festival day on August 1 every year, and which lasted for 7 days every time, so it was also called the "August 1" horse festival. In 2008, the Litang Horse Riding festival was suspended due to political reasons. In August 2019, Litang County was awarded "Hometown of Sichuan Horse Racing Culture" and "Hometown of National Equestrian in Sichuan Province"; On August 15 of the same year, it was named "Hometown of Chinese Tibetan Horse Racing Culture" by Chinese Folk Writers Association, but the following date was not held strictly on August 1, but was held at the end of July according to the specific form.
