The Shoton Festival, or the Yogurt Festival, is an important celebration for Tibetans.  One of the most popular activities during the seven-day holiday is having a "Lingka" (picnic) in Lhasa, and the locals always host them in Norbulingka Park, which means the "treasure gardens." It was originally built in the 1840s and now acts as an open park and museum. People go there with their families to picnic, watch Tibetan dramas, and taste traditional Tibetan food. CGTN's Zheng Yibing is there to see this grand annual festival.
