CHINA-LHASA-BATHING FESTIVAL (CN)

Tibetan women stand by a river after taking bath on the outskirts of Lhasa, capital of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, Sept. 14, 2014. Local Tibetans celebrated the annual Bathing Festival, which usually falls on July on Tibetan calendar, in their time-honored ways. Mass bathing starts when Venus rises to the sky and ends when the star sets. Legend goes that bathing at this period is beneficial to health. (Xinhua/Purbu Zhaxi)
