Tibetan New Year

This year the Tibetan New Year falls on February 14, the same day as the Chinese New Year, which isn't always the case. Although it's still two weeks away, celebrations are already underway for the province's largest festival of the year.

The streets of Lhasa are buzzing with celebration as Tibetans prepare to see in their traditional new year. Taking part in an annual religious ceremony, pilgrims flocked to the Jokhang Temple to burn incense and take down last year's prayer flags. The coming new year means they will be replaced with new prayer flags, which have wishes for the new year written on them.

A monk from the temple says the ceremony holds special significance for Buddhist believers.
Confucius Temple Ceremony

Just down from the Lama Temple in Beijing lies one of the most famous streets in China, Guozijian. On the street, lies another tourist attraction, the Confucius Temple. The top two high school students from Beijing were recently honored in a ceremony at the temple, and BON's Mark Dreyer was there to witness it in today's special feature.
