Huaer refers to the Xining people's favorite folk songs, sung to unburden themselves and express their happiness, misery, wishes, and ideals in life.

Huaer is a legacy from the oral tradition of the highland people, which include rich legends and stories. These songs were invented, refined and passed on in the course of daily life and work.

They provide first-hand source material for researchers of folk customs, aesthetic and the psychology of the local people.

The main theme of the Huaer songs is love. However, because the songs tell about various subjects, the singing style varies as well, Huaer songs are harmonious, evocative and admired by all.

On most of the traditional holidays, you can find Huaer festivals going on everywhere. You are welcome to participate and enjoy the flavor of this festival, which is unique to the highlands.
