In Lhasa, visitor numbers swell for Losar New Year

Tibet launched a new round of its Winter Tour Campaign to attract more visitors to the region between Jan 1 and March 15. It offers free entry to some of its scenic spots, and off-season winter prices on star-rated hotels and flights.

The Winter Tour Campaign has attracted more tourists to the region in winter, and some choose to experience the atmosphere of local people celebrating their New Year.

Zhang Feiyan, a tourist from Beijing, said she spent three days in Lhasa and visited the Museum of Tibet and Norbulingka Park.

"We have tasted a lot of local cuisine, and we had the opportunity to tour the Potala Palace. We are enjoying our time here," she said.

The Lhasa tourism development bureau also hosted various activities during the Losar holiday, including organizing tourists to experience local Tibetan customs, and take them to observe intangible cultural exhibitions.
