Beyond the original functions, hats in China's Tibet have become beautiful sceneries themselves.
LHASA, Aug. 13, 2019 (Xinhua) -- People in Amdo County of Nagqu City in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region have a tradition of wearing hats, because of the strong wind, sunshine and cold weather in the region.
The hats are now mostly made of lamb skins and artificial leather. With antenna-like stripes of fabric at the top, the hats have become beautiful sceneries themselves in the region.
