Spring plowing lays the foundation for the year's grain harvest. More than an agricultural activity, it is a cultural ritual, reflecting continuity and change, the resilience of local communities, and their hopes for the future, painting a vibrant picture of rural revitalization on the roof of the world.

Since the onset of spring, townships and villages across the region have deployed technical teams to inspect and service agricultural machinery, while transporting high-quality seeds, such as plateau barley and wheat, to ensure smooth spring farming.
