The Lhasa citizens spend their holidays in the Norbu Linka.

In Tibetan language, linka means grove. In each summer, when flowers are in full bloom under sunshine, people, who have just gone through a long harsh winter, swarm to the linkas in the suburbs to enjoy nature.

In Lhasa, there is no fixed date for the festival. It many be spent on any days ranging from the late fourth month to the late eighth month, yet the period between the first day to the l5th day of the fifth month is the peak time.

During the festival, people in festal attire will carry with them a lot of food, cooking utensils and tents to the linka, and enjoy themselves there days and nights. People of different families will visit each other's tents. There are also folk art performances.

Nowadays, the modern programs are added as well, e.g. disco dancing, electronic games, and so on.

While in Xigaze, the Festival is fixed on June first of the Gregorian calendar, when many people will gather in Konjo Linka at the riverside of the Nyangqu River to have a great fun. While in some areas of the Gongbo region, people will spend the festival in the virgin forests, where they camp and relax themselves for a couple of days.
