you have to book a licensed tour guide in advance , cheapest was 4000 that i found and permits are required for everything you do, seperate permits, llasa has 500000 local population with 200000 troops, its a miltary occupation with tents on every corner,

nobody really bothered me but i felt like i was in northern ireland in the 1980s, the 44 hour sleeper train from beijing was a nice route for 1200 rmb sleeper. i flew back, i dont know if you can go now, last june they restricted tourists because of self instantaneous combustion but maybe lifted now.

sorrel:

Northern Ireland in the '80's didn't require multiple visa's or have changing entry conditions. I have had many local friends who have travelled to Tibet - it sounds really beautiful.

I heard you can go but not alone you have to be accompanied by a group. And I believe there is one type of people that can't go, but it's not us fellow americans!

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
