Police officers help herders count and corral the sheep during the migration in Bortala. Sticking to tradition However, some herders choose to follow the old method of trekking their herds to winter pastures, believing in the adage of "survival of the fittest". In late November, 230,000 camels, cattle and sheep marched across snow-covered mountains from Jeminay county, Altay, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, to winter pastures 100 kilometers away, forming a spectacular procession. Special service vehicles nicknamed "mobile happy stations" were sent by the government along the route. The happy stations truly solve major problems we face during the migration," said Bardihan Narenhan, a herder.
