Tibet- November 2016 LHASA, GYANTSE, TSEDANG Tibet is an autonomous region of China In 1949 the people's Liberation Army ďŹ rst crossed into Tibet, the Tibetan army was small and not prepared.

The Liberation Army soon occupied over half the country and in 1951 imposed the "17 Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet" on the Tibetan Government.

In 1959 there were massive demonstrations in Lhasa. by the time China crushed the uprising it is estimated that 87,000 Tibetans were killed and the Dalai Liama ed to India where he heads the Tibetan Government in exile.

This Travel Photography workshop organized by Queenstown Centre for Creative Photography. www.qccp.co.nz witnessed the enduring spirit of the Tibetan people. Their passion for religion and life is evident in the photographs of this book. The new generation of Tibetans seems as determined as the old to retain their national identity.
