LHASA, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- This year's Tibetan New Year coincides with the Spring Festival, or Chinese Lunar New Year, which falls on Feb. 10. As the festivals approach, people in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, flock to local markets for New Year shopping. Goods such as red couplets, exquisite chema boxes (a two-tier rectangular wooden box containing roasted barley and fried wheat grain), auspicious sheep heads, and Kasai (a traditional Tibetan fried pastry made of flour and butter) accompanied the hustle and bustle of large shopping crowds.
