Although the 2026 Tibetan New Year celebrations have passed, the festive atmosphere continues to linger in the streets and alleyways of the ancient city of Lhasa in Xizang. The Jokhang Temple has welcomed a new wave of peak pilgrimage activity.

On March 14, bathed in the warm and gentle highland sunshine, devotees from across Xizang and other regions of China mingled with tourists along Barkhor Street, creating a vibrant, flowing tableau where profound faith harmoniously converges with the warmth of everyday life.
