On August 29, the Central Delegation, led by Vice Premier Wu Bangguo, arrived in Lhasa to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). On August 31, the Tibet Autonomous Regional Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Government of the Tibet Autonomous Region convened a general meeting of cadres at the Tibetan People's Hall to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the TAR's establishment.

Wu Bangguo, Pagbalha Geleg Namgyai, Wang Zhaoguo, Qian Zhengying, Zhang Wannian, and Chen Kuiyuan inaugurated the completion of the Potala Palace Square construction project with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

On September 1 in Lhasa, about 40,000 officials from various ethnic groups, the populace, and officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army convened in the newly constructed Potala Palace Square to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Tibet Autonomous Region. The CCP Central Committee, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the State Council, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the Central Military Commission dispatched congratulations statements. Wu Bangguo, leader of the Central Delegation, delivered an address on behalf of the CCP Central Committee and the State Council, and presented a congratulatory scroll inscribed by Jiang Zemin, General Secretary of the CCP Central Committee and President of the State Council, to the General Assembly.

On September 2, all ethnic groups in Lhasa participated in a celebration at Norbulingka, where members of the Central Delegation and leaders of the Autonomous Region commemorated the festival with the populace. Wu Bangguo, the delegation leader, bestowed congratulatory hanging scrolls onto the Da Zhao Monastery and other significant monasteries in the area and allocated alms to the monks.
