Though the Moinba and Lhoba minority who also live in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau have their own languages and costumes, they share many similarities with Tibetan culture as they all live in the south slope of Himalayas, very close to where Tibetan live. Besides wearing similar long robes, Moniba men also wear fur hats, tie waist belts and women also hang hair down loosely or do plaits, wear Buddhist beads and waist hooks. Their boots are also similar to Tibetan boots. But if categorizing carefully, both Moniba costumes and Lobe costumes have their own special features.
For example, both Mofuba men and women wear ochre long robes. Men wear brown caps with round crown, orange edge and a small vent in front. They like to wear big earrings and red or black oxide boots with soft sole. Women wrap white pailforto skirts outside their robes and drape cow skin or sheep skin pieces. A kind of head costume unique to Lhoba men, a bear fur hat is mostly a helmet type hat with brims and made through pressing the bear skin. On the brim, people attach a bearskin ring with fur hair extending around. At the back of the hat, there is a piece of trapezifom bear head skin with eye sockets hanging down to the neck, which is said to prevent from being shot by bows or cut by knives. They also attach a bearskin ring with fur trader the/r rattan hoops or round helmets. This kind of hat helmet looks like thick black hair 
hanging down loosely when looking from a distance, displaying a kind of wild beauty.
Lhoba men and women all like to wear adamants. The adornments that one wears could be as heavy as tens of kilos. Men will tie waist belts, wear silver adornments inlaid with gibbous circle pattern, shells and strings of pearls. Under the belt, they hang several strings of silver beads on both sides. Eardrops they wear are also drooping beads. They hang several rings of necklaces made of different materials in front of the chest. They wear bracelets, gird long swords, carry bows and pipes, cigarette cases and staff like that. The variety of women's adornments is even more astonishing. Turquoise stone necklaces around neck could be more then ten strings or tens of strings. The waist part is full of decorative objects, such as sea shell strings, bronze bells, silver coins, iron chains, copper pieces, steel for flint and little knives. The texture of the material and the quantity of the adornments are closely related with the wearers' financial situations.
