Rambling along the streets in Lhasa, you can touch the strong festival atmosphere of Tibetan New Year, with streets decorated by lanterns and colorful banners everywhere, Tibetans dressing their new costumes, carrying beautiful flowers.

The street around Potala Palace is full of incense smell mixed with flavor of butter tea. Many Buddhism believers come to Potala Palace to worship for new year with rolling prayer wheels. However, more and more young Tibetans prefer to chatting with friends in cafes and listening to the music from melodious piano during the Tibetan New Year's holidays.
