[quote=LEMONCACTUS ,29935]I remember a few years ago the announcement of the rail link to Lhasa being treated with utter dismay by the travellers circuit. It was expected to 'destroy' any notion of the magic, the mystery, the remoteness of Tibet. Now in China, I see the rail link as my chance at fulfilling a dream to visit this land. I hope very much to go myself next summer, so I can hardly lament its existence.On the other hand. I imagine that the 'essence' of Tibet will retreat further and further behind a facade that will spring up in direct response to all the tourists. Tibet cannot remain unchanged by this and perhaps those who visited before the rail link and those who visit after will encounter a very different place.I worry for the traditions and for the purity of the landscape. I hope someone is looking out for them both.[/quote]
