Tibet Introduction

Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR for short) attracts people of all persuasions every year from both home and abroad. It rewards every visitor with an unforgettable experience of the land, the people and the mysticism!

It is the gateway of southwest China. Its land mass is about 1/8 of the territories of the country. The history of Tibet began about 4,000 years ago, when living was simpler. Lhasa is the political, economic, cultural and religious center with abundant cultural relics, like the world s highest palace complex, the Potala Palace built over 1,300 years ago.

I recently reviewed the newly designed Airis kayaks by Walker Bay so have been writing about them quite a bit lately.

I was so impressed with their quality, performance and most of all their convenience and portability.

One of their models in particular, the Airis Play is the absolute ideal inflatable kayak to take traveling.

Most people who decide to purchase an inflatable kayak do so for one of three reasons (or possibly for all three reasons like me)…

2. They want a kayak that can be stored in a small space such as a closet.
3. They want a kayak they can take traveling by airplane, boat, RV or car.

There are many models that can easily go traveling with you but the Airis Play tops them all as far as convenience, quality and portability go.

This kayak is ... Read more »
