Wearing traditional clothes and a hat, a senior Uygur resident in Kashi danced happily with hundreds of local residents and visitors in front of the Id Kah Mosque - this is the way some Muslim residents in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region celebrate the Eid-al-Fitr on Thursday.
On the same day, Vladimir Norov, Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and foreign diplomats from more than 15 countries watched via a live stream in Beijing how Muslim residents in China's Xinjiang region perform their salat al-Eid in mosques.
