A woman carrying her mother-in-law on her back runs across a 400-meter glass bridge above the ground in Nucheng County in Hunan Province yesterday. Women of the She and Yao ethnic groups held a mother-in-law-carrying competition to mark the Double Ninth Festival, which is today. The festival is observed on the ninth day of the ninth month on the Chinese calendar. On the day, it is customary to climb a high mountain, and some Chinese also visit the graves of their ancestors to pay their respects.China News Service
