"I am shocked to see pictures of the wretched serfs and what they had suffered, but thanks to the Communist Party and its policies, those dark days are gone forever. We now can lead a happy life, " said a Tibetan student from the Minzu University of China (also known as Central University of Nationalities).

On a special stage several Tibetan artists show to visitors their New Year preparations, including Ghee-flower making, painting, and local snacks such as kasai, buttered tea, and tsampa, etc. Visitors are even encouraged to try the food.

When asked how they are going to mark the Tibetan New Year, which falls on tomorrow, an artist said that she is going to get together with some Tibetan friends in Beijing and have dinner.
