During Eid al-Adha, it's a tradition that every family slaugthers some sheep, so in Xinjiang Eid al-Adha is also known as 宰牲节, livestock slaughter festival.

In rural Xinjiang villages, many villagers don't like to slaughter their own livestocks, so they just go to a village market to buy some sheep for the festival.
This local village girl says that during this time of the year, it's a very common scene in Xinjiang to see traffic police officers runniing around chasing sheep on the loose on the roads and even highways.

In the end of the video the girl and her whole family wish a happy Eid al-Adha to her subscribers.

Eid isn't celebrated exactly the same way everywhere.
Eg.

In Kyrgyzstan ... The local population celebrate in various ways such as by partying, eating and singing. Festivals often feature long distance horse racing and other horse-based sports.
