Tibet (Xizang Autonomous Region) Suggested Trips

When traveling to Tibet keep in mind that the country is occupied by the Chinese people and they forbid everything what has to do with the Dalai Lama. It is forbidding to bring pictures into the country and books are carefully checked. If they find a picture in a book, you are certain to loose that book ... it is better to use guidebooks without pictures!

gyangze is about the size of a small english town, although it is the second largest city in tibet, which is much bigger than england. it has a large chinese population and it doesnt have much of a rugged tibetan feel to it any more. its still worth a visit though.

shigatse is one of tibets main cities. i cant remember much about it, there was a big shopping centre where you buy high tek stuff

Try your best to not buy anything from the CHINESE... e.g. stay in a tibetan owned hotel, eat in the tibetan restaurants .... and... try to go there before its too late.

Toling with Toling Monastery is an extremely beautiful place in Ngari, Westtibet. The monastery was one of the most important tibetan monasteries in former times..nor there are only 7monks left. the 15th. century wallpaintings are amazing. About 3 days travel from Lhasa.
