Dangjiren literally means a grand party in Damxung, a county located at an average altitude of 4,300 meters in northern Lhasa. During the Dangjiren horse racing festival, local residents wearing colorful long-sleeved clothes and hats race against each other on horses decorated with colorful ornaments.
The festival originated from military parade of Mongolian cavalry since the 17th century.
