Tibet will be closed in July?
Hi,
I have got that Tibet will be closed during July 2011. Originally, I had planned a Tibet tour from July 7 to 17. And now I will change my itinerary. Need some suggestions that which city or destination will be a replacement? I am interested in culture and Chinese ethnic group as well as natural scenery.
Thanks!

If you want to taste Tibetan culture. you can go to Shangri-La in Yunnan, the western parts of Sichuan and southern parts of Gansu and Qinghai provinces.
Shangri-La in Yunnan and Jiuzhaigou in SIchuan are probably the most tourist-friendly and very scenic.

If you are actually in China you are behind the great Chinese firewall, and do not get all the news.

It is widely reported by all the travel agents specialized in getting foreigners TTB Permits and arranging their travel. They are the party most affected by the closure. The foreign media basically reported that fact.

Oh China. You really do bring a whole new meaning to the word represssion.
You might want to also look at Lijiang. It's on the cusp of the Himalayas and tremendously beautiful. It would be a great companion destination to Shangri-La as rkkwan suggested.
