Mangkam County in Qamdo, China's Xizang Autonomous Region, is known as the "Hometown of Xianzi Dance." The Xianzi dance, accompanied by the Xianzi (a traditional stringed instrument), features men and women gathering in a circle to dance gracefully. The lyrics of Xianzi songs typically depict daily life, natural scenery, celebrate love, or convey blessings and good wishes. Today, in Mangkam, the Xianzi dance has become an indispensable part of local daily life.
