On July 9, 2021, villagers in Gongkang Village, Lengda Township, Gyaca County, Shannan City, southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region, dress up to celebrate the "Wangguo Festival", which is a festival with a history of more than 1,500 years, for praying for a good harvest when the highland barley fields are ripe in the agricultural areas of Tibet. The time of "Wangguo Festival" varies due to the different time of highland barley ripening in different places.
