On its west side, a replica of a 19th-century locomotive comes alive when the Astros come onto the field, after a player hits a home run, and when the home team is victorious. The 2023 season runs through September, and visitors can take year-round guided tours ranging from one to three hours (prices vary). </span></p>

Since then, the popularity of Bhutanese archery has increased even further, is it's showcased during local festivals, between public ministries and departments, and between the <em>dzongkhags</em> and the regional teams. </span></span><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">It's culturally distinctive - including, for example, verbal "battles" in which archers display their intellectual aplomb and even literary skills whilst belitting opponents - and is a way of socialisation, communication, and development of relations between people.</span></span></p>
