It is called “settlement in summer”, lasting until the end of June. On go downhill. People will reward them by preparing sour milk, holding a banquet in the field and performing Tibetan opera. This is the origion of the Soton Festival.

    The Shoton Festival of Drepung Monastery is held on July 1st every year in the Tibetan calendar. During the period, there are numerous of visitors to the Buddha exhibition is very large, which can be crowded.
