Foreign journalists in Beijing have visited an exhibition on democratic reform in Tibet, and the region's fast development over the last 50 years. The journalists represent some 30 organizations.

Many described the exhibition at the Cultural Palace of Nationalities as "impressive" and "informative", and said it helped them gain a better understanding of Tibet.

Everything in the exhibition hall is about Tibet, including the decorations.

Change is the keyword. The focus is on the democratic reform of the region 50 years ago and its development since then.

It's about the better lives of the people and the preservation of culture.

Official figures show the undeniable achievements in many aspects of society.

The exhibition also features Tibetan medicine, food and handcrafts. Many visitors found them impressive.

The widely-acclaimed exhibition has already attracted more than 40 thousand people since it opened. The admission-free exhibition is scheduled to run for another month.
