Saga Dawa Festival: April in the Tibetan calendar is called "Saga Dawa Festival" (I. e., the month of Disu). Legend has it that Buddha Sakyamuni was born on the 7th of Sagadawa in the Year of the Iron Monkey in the Tibetan calendar. Sagadawa became a road on the 15th of the year of the Trojan horse. Sagadawa died on the 15th of the year of the Iron Dragon. Therefore, the Tibetan people regard this month as the three-day hymn festival when the Buddha was born, became Taoist and passed away, and regard this month as a month of good fortune and auspiciousness. During Sagadawa, various Buddhist activities were held in various monasteries.

Bathing Festival: in the first ten days of July every year, there is a week of mass bathing activities in the vast agricultural and pastoral areas, urban and rural areas of Tibet, which is the annual bathing week unique to Tibetans. During these 7 days, men, women and children came to the rivers and streams to play and feast heartily. Every day, they came out at sunrise and returned at sunset. According to the Tibetan folk saying, the water in early autumn has eight advantages: sweet, cool, soft, clear, not smelly, drinking does not damage the throat, and drinking does not hurt the abdomen. This summary, from the perspective of Tibet's natural environment and seasonal changes, is There is a certain scientific truth.

Horse Racing Festival: Horse racing is a very favorite activity of the Tibetan people. It is not only a place for gathering and exchanging agricultural and animal husbandry production experience in their spare time, but also a display of the spirit of the Tibetan people. In all Tibetan festivals where folk heritage is popular, horse racing is almost indispensable. Horse racing not only appears in the festival in the form of a motif, but more importantly, the Tibetan people, who are based on their strong belief in horses, have formed such a national traditional "horse racing festival", and this activity has a long history.
