1 Do Tibetans eat tofu?

Yes, there are not only Tibetans in Tibet, but also many people of Han nationality and other nationalities, so it is still very marketable.

2 is it expensive to rent a storefront and hire people in Lhasa?

This depends on the location of the rent. If you choose a place with a large flow of people, the general income is very good. I once knew a couple who made steamed bread in Lhasa when I was on the train, and they earned a lot in Lhasa a year. So whatever you do can make money, it depends on whether you are willing to work hard. If you make tofu, you'd better find a fixed source of customers, such as restaurants. After all, retail sales are not as big as restaurants and canteens.

3 if selling tofu doesn't work, what should I do?

I don't know about this, but it's still a good choice to do food-related industries. After all, food is the most important thing for the people, but the food in Tibet is spicy, because it is close to Sichuan and there are many Sichuanese in Tibetan areas. The food industry in Tibet is basically Sichuan, and of course, if you have a unique place, you will succeed.

4 is it better to start a business in Tibet than in Qinghai, Xinjiang? If so, where is it?

In fact, it's the same everywhere. Everyone should be willing to bear hardships and have their own unique vision.

5 Does starting a business in Tibet now belong to doing business in the sea as mentioned in the early 1991s?

Lhasa's words are not much different from those in the mainland now. As for the county towns below, they are still a little behind, but the demand is also not great. The county towns in Tibet have a small population and can't compare with those in the mainland at all.

6 is the society and environment there safe now?

it's safe, as long as you don't make trouble, so be careful.

7 in several areas of Tibet, is it better to choose Lhasa for starting a business? I think the central city is better.

Where there are opportunities, there are risks. The traffic in the central city is large, but there are many competitors, so all kinds of costs are increased, while the traffic in the county town is low, but there are few competitors. If your business methods and products are unique and attractive, it is also a good choice.

8 are the people there kind? Is there discrimination if foreigners go to do business?

Kindness, but people who do business in Tibet are usually introduced by acquaintances, and they can all be taken care of after they go, so you'd better see if anyone around you or you know is in Tibet before you go.

9 can you buy all the ordinary things in Lhasa?

Lhasa is not much different from the mainland. You can usually buy anything you want, but the cost may be higher.
