They're sheepfolds, not drums

Several waist drum-shaped sheepfolds in Shaanxi province have been built as part of a local cultural tourism project in Yan'an's Ansai district.

Painted white and red, two typical colors for traditional waist drums, the sheep pens are likely to be mistaken as houses for tourists.

They are actually homes for dozens of sheep introduced by the Xiying cultural village in suburban Ansai, which also has a performance center for traditional folk songs in northern Shaanxi, or Xintianyou. The village will start operations on Friday.
