Features: Tucked away in the mountains, Tibet was once called the "Shangri-La where time stands still" by outsiders. Today, it has become a destination sought after by domestic and international tourists. With the implementation of China's opening-up policy, the highland has been opened to the world. Every day, groups of tourists with different complexions and hair colors arrive in Lhasa. They gaze up at the Potala Palace on the red hill, the palace where the Dalai Lamas have resided for generations.
