Sanyuesan Festival, which takes place on the third day of the third lunar month, is one of the most famous traditional festivals celebrated in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

This year's Sanyuesan Festival falled on April 14, and Guangxi putted on an array of cultural and sporting events throughout the month-long celebration.

One of the key elements of the celebrations is the 2021 Sanyuesan Zhuang Ethnic Group Sport Carnival, which was staged in Xing'an county, Guilin on April 14.

A total of nine themed activities were organized, including an opening ceremony, sports competitions, interactive experiences, sports achievement displays, sporting law promotions and cultural tourism promotions. 

The sports competitions covered seven ethnic events like lion dancing, firecracker-snatching, stilt racing and "single bamboo drifting". Five hundred athletes from 12 cities across Guangxi had signed up for these events. 

Apart from the offline events, an "online" marathon also was hosted to display the tourism resources of Guang'an as well as promote running. Runners could join the race by uploading valid score credentials including screenshots of their run with clear dates, routes and timings using the "数字心动" app.
