As southwest Sichuan Railway International Travel Service (hereinafter referred to the southwest Iron Brigade) in charge of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Line, bell tree began to be busy. Although he operators of the tourist route that was only one year, but the economic benefits of the travel agencies have been accounted for a third of total revenue.

A first

Travel agents receive half 4000

They advance the good rooms and coaches, it is possible to be found only after cancellation or lower standards. Some guides even know nothing about the religion. This incurred a lot of complaints lodged by tourists.

Basically, the Potala Palace in Lhasa is that all visitors must go through to land. However, in August last year, all travel agents in Chengdu Qinghai-Tibet Railway trip tickets are no longer included the Potala Palace. Reason is that too many tourists, the Potala Palace limited implementation of tourists every day visit to the team to provide 1,600 tickets for visitors, far failed to meet all parts of the country demand of tourists come in droves. Chengdu travel agents but had no choice but to visit the "Tour the Potala Palace" to "visit the Potala Palace Square."
