Every year on December 20th, people from the Lisu(傈僳) Ethnic Group begin celebrating their most important festival, Kuoshi, which means New Year. It's equivalent to the Han people's Spring Festival. On Sunday, colorful traditional activities were held on the river beach in Fugong County.

On Sunday, local Lisu people in Nujiang Prefecture came to the river beach in Fugong County to celebrate the Kuoshi Festival.
The festival at last turned out to be an ethnic carnival and a sea of joy. Besides singing and dancing, many traditional fun competitions were held including crossbow shooting and bamboo-pole climbing. Some even played a game where you bury your sweetheart in the sand.
