Recently, Qiongjie Town in Qiongjie County, Shannan City, Xizang, hosted a series of folk cultural activities for the Ongkor Festival. Local residents dressed in distinctive Tibetan attire, with the Dawa Drolma intangible cultural heritage costumes making a striking appearance. Villagers held highland barley in their hands and made ritual circumambulation tours through the fields to pray for good fortune, continuing the old farming traditions, which presented a vibrant picture of harvest abundance and the happy, contented lives of the people.
