Lhasa has beautiful scenery. The Jiqu River (Lhasa River), known as the "Happy Blue Wave", runs down from the snow-capped ice peaks and snow valleys of Nyainqentanglha Mountain, spouting pearls and spitting jade, and the snow waves fly by, passing through numerous forest canyons and rural Mu Ye, with a total length of 315km, and meeting with the Yarlung Zangbo River in the trunk bay of Qushui, forming a blue-and-white snow spectacle.

Lhasa history and culture
Tibetan New Year: Tibetans have been preparing for the New Year since December of the Tibetan calendar. The first day of the lunar calendar is the first day of the Tibetan New Year. The first thing they did was to send people to the river to pick up the first bucket of water for the New Year-auspicious water.
From the second day of junior high school, relatives and friends visit each other to celebrate the New Year. This activity lasts for three to five days. During the Tibetan New Year, in the square or open grass, everyone dances in a circle. Accompanied by lyre, cymbals, gongs and other musical instruments, people step on the ground to celebrate and sing, while children set off firecrackers.
