In Xizang, summer ends with a party for Shoton Festival. It starts with a celebratory sip of creamy yogurt to mark the end of the monks' retreat. What follows is an explosion of culture, as giant Buddha thangkas unfurl against the echo of Tibetan opera and horse races. Families laugh together in the parks, bringing Lhasa to life with joy.
