I am signed up to the CTrip emails, I just noticed the following on their latest email:
"With the opening of Tibet's borders and the loosening of restrictions,
now is a great time to visit the famed capital, Lhasa, or Tibet's other
major towns and natural wonders!"
Anyone know anything about this? Have some restrictions for foreigners been removed? I (and I bet most of Kunmings cycle tourists!) are pretty keen to know if the restriction for having to have a guide outside of Lhasa still applies as it would allow us to bike in!
