Aba Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan province is home to many ethnic groups, including the Tibetan, Qiang and Hui. The celebration of local ethnic culture inspires young people to carry on their peoples' cultural legacy. Through music, dance and handicrafts, many families have been lifted out of poverty. In 2019, residents in Aba's Qiudi village made 24,780 yuan ($3,500) per person on average.
