Why are people keen to travel to Tibet (perhaps also including Tibetan areas in Gannan, Qinghai, western Sichuan, Yunnan and other places)?

I have never been to Tibet, but I have traveled through Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. I have been to Lijiang twice and a half. I traveled independently, did not join a group, and stayed in youth hostels. In the end, "Half time" is passing by, because we have to go to Zhongdian, then go to Deqin and then to Daocheng, then Litang, then Kangding and then to Chengdu. Just tell me based on your own experience. In these places, because they are far away from their original living environment and circle, coupled with the unique local religious and cultural atmosphere, the overall feeling there will be very different from that in their hometown. The most special thing is that it is easier for everyone to open up and communicate with others naturally. For example, on Christmas Eve in 2002, eleven of us sat together in a bar and listened to a man who "floated" from Lugu Lake. A Beijing violinist played music and a Mosuo girl sang folk songs to listen to, and these eleven people last joined only an hour ago! When we usually sit in youth hotels or cafes, there will be many passers-by who are similar or not very similar to us and become familiar with us through occasional chats or inquiries. In the end, it is very likely that we will become partners on the next journey (we called it at the time ("picking up people"), until they are separated again due to different destinations, but they may have become friends with whom they can communicate in depth. We or our fellow travelers have all seen, heard about, and even experienced "quasi-affairs" or "affairs" on the road. These are unlikely to happen in big cities in the east or central part of the country, or even in small counties. Because of the pressure of life and the complexity of interpersonal relationships, we are not able to open our hearts so freely in our hometowns or places of residence. There is another obvious difference: when I am sitting in a cafe in Lijiang playing with my cat and applying the sun, I look at the group tourists following the tour guide passing through Sifang Street like crucian carp crossing the river, and I feel how happy I am to be so leisurely. And if I were in Shanghai, even if I went to Starbucks on weekends and sat there, watching the flow of people rushing past with laptops on their backs and phone calls, I would feel even more like I was wasting my time and life. Maybe this is the feeling of "living somewhere else" mentioned by some literary and artistic young people. I am not a literary and artistic young person, so I cannot describe it in a specific and systematic manner. I can only talk about my feelings. I hope it can inspire others.
