Sneak into Tibet

Now I know earlier I said that you can almost do anything in China, but getting into Tibet without an expensive permit is NOT one of them. Our ticket and permit was checked twice before we got on the train and three times once we got in. Then it was checked at every hotel we checked into, over 10 times while we were on the road, and finally, at immigration. So, unless you’re sneakier than Bond or have more connections than Trump I wouldn’t try it
