Horse racing is a summer leisure of Tibetan people. It attracts a lot of people as a place of meeting: not only owners who enter the horses which they are proud of in a race, but also men who are excited about watching racehorses and women who are usually too busy with housework to leave their tents. We can also see a row of little dining rooms and stalls selling toys and knickknacks. The masked woman playing with smartphone may be a store tender.
