Man rides traditional one-legged donkey ice sled across frozen field in Liaoning, China

On November 1, 2026, in Liaoning, China, @Jiǔhuītiāntiānkǎoròufàn shared an amusing video showing a man riding a traditional one-legged donkey ice sled across a frozen field. In the video, the man sits on the small sled and glides along the icy tracks, using handheld spikes to push himself forward and maintain his balance. The unusual single-blade design allows the rider to move across the frozen surface, creating an entertaining display of a traditional winter activity. According to reports, the one-legged donkey is a traditional single-blade ice sled popular for recreation and fitness in Northeast China. It is believed to have originated from Manchu ice sports during the late Ming Dynasty. Featuring a single blade beneath the seat, the sled allows riders to travel across frozen surfaces while propelling themselves with handheld spikes.
