Tibet: Foreign Tourists Welcome, but Not Everything Is Open

Chinese authorities reopened Tibet to foreign tourists June 25, but key monasteries remain closed and it may be some time before everything returns to normal for foreign visitors. The main sites in Lhasa such as the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and Norbulinka are open, but important monasteries such as Drepung and Sera remain closed. In addition, there is no guarantee that sites open today will be open tomorrow, as authorities could close them in response to further political incidents.
