Corban Festival (Eid al-Adha)

Corban Festival (Eid al-Adha) is the most significant Islamic holiday for China's 23 million Muslim residents, drawing over 500,000 worshippers to Id Kah Mosque in Kashgar alone. This annual commemoration of Ibrahim's devotion involves ritual prayers, the sacrifice of livestock, and distribution of meat to the poor—with Xinjiang's Uyghur communities producing nearly 2,000 tons of lamb for feasts each festival. Participants prioritize charity: 70% of donated meat reaches low-income households, outpacing the average for holiday charities in China.
