Experts and officials have called for exploring more ways to protect and develop Tibetan culture as the autonomous region continues to open up under the Belt and Road Initiative.
Tibetan culture mainly consists of food, costumes and customs, Sim Hyukjoo, a professor at Hallym University in South Korea, said at a seminar during the 2019 Forum on the Development of Tibet, held on Friday in Lhasa.
"I have been to Lhasa several times and also did an investigation 10 years ago, and the city is quite developed in comparison to the past decade," Sim said.
