(260219) -- LHASA, Feb. 19, 2026 (Xinhua) -- A drone photo taken on Feb. 16, 2026 shows a view of the house of Sangs-rgyas in Gurum Village of Chamco Township, Dingri County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.
Monday was the Chinese New Year's Eve, which coincided with the Night of Gutu of the Tibetan calendar. Enjoying the festive atmosphere, the family of Sangs-rgyas purchased new furniture and stocked up on New Year goods, celebrating their first Spring Festival and Tibetan New Year after moving into their new house.
Last year, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit Dingri, home to the northern base camp of the world's highest peak, Mount Qomolangma, and other counties in the region on Jan. 7. In less than three days after the earthquake, Xizang rolled out a post-disaster reconstruction plan and kicked off the reconstruction work later. In the second half of 2025, the family of Sangs-rgyas moved into a safe and comfortable new residence. (Xinhua/Tenzing Nima Qadhup)
