The large and beastly buffalos have rarely been associated with anything beautiful. But they, in some occasions, would stun the public with creative ideas and skills from artists.
A buffalo body-painting competition was recently held in Jiangcheng county in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, as part of the fifth "sachet-throwing carnival" celebrated by people from China, Laos and Vietnam. More than 30 teams from the three countries participated in the event this year, competing for a prize reward worth 100,000 yuan (15,300 U.S. dollars).
