These flags, flowing in different designs, can be seen around the
"drum and bell tower" in the Hutong area of Beijing. However, the

The Naxi are closely related to the Tibetans. Their traditional religion of
Dongba shares many characteristics of the pre-Buddhist Tibetan religion of
Bonpo. A form of shamanistic animism, the faith takes its name from its
practitioners, who are known as "Dongba" and are invited to chant
scriptures at weddings, funerals, and other festivals.

Hill), an artificial hill and garden immediately north of the Forbidden City
(and actually south of the Drum and Bell Towers).
