Tibet
 Tibet
lies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of the
southwest border of China. The average height
of the whole region is more than 4,000 meters
above sea level, for which Tibet is known
as "Roof of the World". The highest
peak of Tibet, also the highest in Himalayas
and in the whole world, is Everest Peak,
which is as high as 8,846.27 meters above
sea level.
Although a part of China, Tibet
has a unique culture of all there own. It
is mainly inhabited by Tibetans, a minority
nationality of old and mysterious people.
Tourist attractions include the Potala Palace
in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple, and a number of
Buddhist sacred places.
 Tibet
(Xi Zang in Chinese) is to the south of
Xin Jiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qing
Hai Province, to the west of Sichuan, to
the northwest of Yunnan and to the north
of India and Nepal. Its population of 2.3
million people come from a variety of ethnic
groups including Tibetan, Han, Monba and
Lhota. Its capital city is Lhasa.
Northwest Tibet, mainly Qing
Hai plateau, is home to a variety of unusual
and unique animals. Across the northern
expanse of Tibet, you can see vast grasslands
where horses, cattle and sheep roam freely.
The world's lowest valley, the Grand Yarlun-tzanpo
River Valley lies in east Tibet.
 Nearly
all Tibetans follow Tibetan Buddhism, known
as Lamaism, with the exception of approximately
2,000 followers of Islam and 600 of Catholicism.
Tibetan Buddhism was greatly influenced
by Indian Buddhism in its early time, but
after years of evolution, Tibetan Buddhism
has developed its own distinctive qualities
and practices. A well-known example is the
belief that there is a Living Buddha, who
is the reincarnation of the first, a belief
alien to Chinese Buddhism.
It is freezing cold in
most time of the year. Most tourists come
to visit Tibet only in the warmest seasons,
June, July, August and early September.
