Presenting tibet

A photographer has become ambassador for remote region. Mao Xi reports.

Chinese photographer Zeng Yi, who counts telling images of Tibetan life among his body of work, says his first encounter with the Tibetan people was not very pleasant.

Zeng says a Tibetan lama was annoyed that he took several photos of a temple without his permission. But that did not stop him from delving deeply into the region and its culture.
