Tibet 0708 西藏

We are one of the first batches of foreign tour groups to Tibet after the 314 riot. Weather was fine other than a little rain but most importantly it was not crowded. We could take our time to visit all sites.
We received special welcome party at the airport by tour company, dinner hosted by the Mayor of Lhasa and interviewed by CCTV.
On the way to our dinner one day, along Beijing Dong Lu, we saw many buildings that were burned during the 314 incident. We were not allowed to take pictures. Our Tibetan tour guide commented that a true buddhist would not do this sort of thing.
我们是自314事件后最先到达拉萨的外国旅行团之一。除了点小雨之外,天气还算不错。由于游客不多,我们可以从容的游览个名胜.
我们也得到当地旅游公司在机场的特别接待,献哈达和献花。拉萨市长为我们设了个晚宴,中国中央电视台也访问了我们的领队和团员。
有一晚,在去餐馆的路上,在北京东路,我们看到了314事件中被烧毁的许多屋子,我们都不准拍照。我们的藏族导游感慨的说,真正的佛教徒是不会做出这种事的。
