Over the past few days, Lamaism believers in southwest China's Tibet and neighboring Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces have been travelling on a winter pilgrimage to Lhasa, Shigatse and Tsedang.

March 10 marks the sixth day in Tibetan New Year and many people came to Jokhang Temple and prayed for the Year of Iron Rabbit.
