Recently, craftsmen and craftswomen repair the roof of Meru Monastery in a traditional way which is called "Da A Ga", in Lhasa, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. Workers mix local clay and gravel with water, pave them on the ground or roof and then tamp the surface to reinforce. In this way, Tibetan people have developed the habit of singing while working, which makes the heavy manual work easy and funny. [Photo/Xinhua]
