Tibet saw a 74.1 percent year-on-year growth in tourist number during the New Year holiday. To embrace the tourism peak, Tibet’s local governments launched several preferential policies and a travel route of “Winter Tour to Tibet”.

 

"I shared photos of the scenic spot on my WeChat with a holiday wish," said Wang Chengrao who rode a bike for days to Lhasa.

 

Tourists not only came to admire the unique scenery, but also experienced the unique hospitality of the local people. 

 

"This is my seventh visit here. I enjoy the New Year celebration very much," said Yuan Se, an outdoor enthusiast.

 

Various items with Tibetan characteristics, such as clothing, jewelry, incense and other handicrafts, are popular among tourists.
