Lhasa awarded 'International best travel and leisure destination'
Lhasa has been awarded the honorary title of ``International best travel and leisure destination'' on the ``Focus on Expo-International Tourism Brand Development Forum'', which was sponsored by International Leisure Industry Association and People's Daily Online, on April 26.
More than three months after it was shut to the outside world following the worst anti-government protests in two decades, the Tibetan capital Lhasa would soon be reopened for foreign tourists, local officials said.
