Tibet, until recently, has been rather difficult to reach. However, China is relaxing its grip on travel, and it is now practical to consider visiting Tibet. One can fly there from various locations in China, or go by train from Chengdu to Lhasa, the capital. Side 1 covers the western half of the country, with an inset of central Lhasa showing the Potala Palace and the walking areas of the historic centre. The ability to travel to other centres is limited at the moment, but improving. Side 2 shows the eastern half of the country and improving road access to the region. Again, travel is still limited by wary Chinese officialdom, but is gradually relaxing. Border crossings to Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, India, and Myanmar, are all closed. Tibet is a political minefield for the Chinese. ITMB has been able to source this map with the co-operation of Chinese authorities, but much of the detail has been provided by the Chinese government and is not independently verifiable. The name on the cover, for example includes the Chinese name for Tibet equally with the name known traditionally for this part of the world. Xizang may not be well-known outside of China itself, but it is necessary to show on maps from now on if one hopes to encourage tourism. China is in the early stages of re-opening the entire country to tourism after years of self-imposed semi-isolation. This map is a tribute to better relations with China.
