With the Tibetan New Year about one month away, Tibetan-style festive costumes are getting popular as local residents in Lhasa, southwest China's Tibet, have already started their Losar preparations.
Losar, the Tibetan New Year, falls on February 22 this year. It is a tradition for people to wear ethnic style costume in celebration of their most important traditional festival.
The closer the festival comes, the more fascinating the air of the holy city becomes.
Shopping crowds, happy smiles and colorful clothes, all become nice sceneries amid festive atmosphere on the streets in Lhasa.
