Chinanews, Feb. 16 - As the policy of opening to the outside world
deepens in Tibet, more and more foreigners go to Tibet, some even spend
Spring festival days there with the Tibetans.
On the New Year party held at Tibet University, teachers and local
students and foreign students who studied there exchanged toasts and bid
each other good luck in the new year. They sang and danced together to
celebrate the onset of the new year.
Alfaraderson from Norway has been studying in Tibet University for nearly
half a year. This is her first time to spend the Tibetan new year in
Tibet. She said it had been a very special Spring Festival as she tasted
the "Qiema" (One auspicious food for the Tibetan new year) and drank
green rye wine. She felt the warm friendship and passion from local
Tibetans and she hoped to spend Spring Festival in Tibet next year as
well.
This year's Spring Festival happened to fall into the same day as the
Tibetan wood rooster new year. Joyful songs and laughter could be heard
everywhere in the ancient city of Lhasa. Foreign tourists were also moved
by the intense festivity around the city. Helen, a tourist from Germany,
said that she picked this time of the year to come to Tibet to feel how
Tibetans were spending the Spring Festival. What struck her most was the
hospitality of the Tibetans as she was even invited by some Tibetans on
the street to join familial celebrations. This is certainly something she
never experienced before.
