In an interview, an expert based in Lhasa told it to me that way. I didn't verify it, and just wrote it into the article. I made a mistake. I apologize to my readers and express my sincere thanks to the critic! If it weren't for you, I still would not know that I had made a mistake.

Shortly afterward, you will pass over 'Beijing Road'." Actually, if you enter Lhasa from the airport or from the Qinghai-Tibet highway, the first road you will come upon is Jinzhu Road West. Only if you enter Lhasa from the Sichuan-Tibet highway will the first road be Jiangsu Road East. From there, "you will see 'Shanghai Square' and 'Shandong Tower'. You might be bewildered and ask yourself: where am I here?" Of course you will be bewildered, because those two places are in Rikaza. How could it not be bewildering if they appeared in Lhasa? You ought to come to Lhasa more often. Spending just two days there in May isn't enough.

Hope to have the chance to meet up and discuss this face to face. Ha. This is my first time reading this type of article, as I've never dared write this way. Of course that is partly because of my ability. ha. -Adong Wed, 25 Oct 2006 04:18:13 +0000 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/451#comment-334 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/451#comment-334 The urban population is due to overtake the rural population worldwide next year, say the UN. So it seems to me at least, that articles about the urban environment have everything to do with the environment.

We shouldn't want to visit - and ruin -- untouched places. Rather we should support places that have developed a local, green tourist industry. -SL Thu, 19 Oct 2006 14:47:08 +0000 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/451#comment-312 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/451#comment-312 I had always dreamed of visiting Tibet. But now it has changed so much, I don't want to go. Is there anywhere untouched still left in China?
