Editor's Note:
The Mojiang International Twins Festival 2016 was held during the Labor Day holiday in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province. More than 1,000 pairs of twins attended this year’s event. They were joined by an estimated 190,000 tourists eager to catch a glimpse of at least a few twins, triplets and quadruplets. A display of Hani ethnic minority traditions in Mojiang was an added attraction. Photos: Yereth Jansen /GoKunming.com

The draw of Mojiang for many is its high twin birthrate — festival organizers say couples living in and around the town are 25 percent more likely to give birth to twins than the world average.
