This aerial picture taken on February 10, 2017 shows a woman cleaning the village square after firecracker were set off as part of the “beat the Buddha” celebration in Yuxi village. Villagers in China's eastern Fujian province have a unique way of worshipping Buddha: they beat a rock statue of the diety to wish for a good new year and an abundant harvest. The religious ceremony held Friday in Yuxi village is one of many in the run-up to the traditional Lantern Festival, which falls on February 11 this year. (Photo by Johannes Eisele/AFP Photo)
