I took a tour to Beijing and Lhasa last month. It was fantastic. But I have some suggestions to those who would like to adventure there. Beijing Opera might not be the cup of tea for youth. Personally speaking there may be more interesting options for that night. Opera is great, just not for me. Lhasa is a mysterious pleace, but mountain sickness makes the travel a bit hard. Dont try it if you were not in good health condition, especially in dead winter, I guess.
