Following new national measures to optimize pandemic controls, Lhasa lifted testing requirements for public transport and venues on Dec. 7. Now, residents sip butter tea at bustling stalls, barter for handcrafted treasures, and even greet neighborhood stray cats – all captured in candid street scenes by local observers.
