The reporters were from media groups such as Macao Daily News, Asian Television, CTI Television Incorporation, Associated Press of Pakistan, Janpan's NHK, and APTN.

They interviewed local residents and visited temples in Lhasa and Nyingchi regions.

"I was mostly impressed by the culture here," said David Wivell from APTN.

"I was lucky to have the chance to take pictures of local dancing as a way celebrating the Tibetan New Year," David said.

Massod Sattar Khan from the Associated Press of Pakistan said he thought the visit was very meaningful as it was a way to introduce Tibet to the outside world.

"I hope we will have more such visits," he said.
