As the golden autumn returns, herders in Gongliu county, Xinjiang, are moving their livestock from summer pastures to spring-autumn meadows.

This autumn, the county is expected to relocate 570,000 head of livestock. The herds move in procession along the migration routes, their hoofbeats and camel bells joining the herders' calls to echo across the mountains and valleys.
