The majority of people in JZG are Zang ethnicity. The Zang people have their own culture and unique customs. Their staple food is lamb. They have a lot of traditional food such as qing ke jiu. I like qing ke jiu very much.
Tibetans also have their own stylish kind of clothing and architecture, which are delicate and traditional. The most beautiful time to visit the region is at the end of October. In late autumn, there are colors everywhere.
