Yeah, you welcome tourists except for foreign journalists. They get to see the "official" tour of Tibet.

No, I haven't gone to it. so I didn't answer your question and advise you can find the right answer by yourself. Tourists also can take the photo.

If you haven't done it yourself, you shouldnt have quoted or replied to my post in the first place because it was not a generic question, I specifically quoted a post and asked the OP.

Also, I dont want to go to China to ask Tibetians about their political leanings. There are plenty of Tibetians in India to do that.

I cant go to rural China and do a story on forced abortions, can I? Likewise, you can only go and take pictures from Chinese govt approved sites.
