TIBET
Located in the southwestern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Tibet Autonomous Region is the southwestern border region of China. With an average elevation of 4,000 meters, Tibet is the largest and highest plateau in the world, known as the ‘Roof of the World’. The world’s largest canyon, the Yalung Zangbo Canyon, is in Tibet. In the mid-7th century, Songtsen Gambo founded the unified Tubo Dynasty and forged an alliance with the Tang Dynasty by marrying Princess Wencheng in 641 AD. In the mid-13th century, Tibet was incorporated as an administrative region of the Yuan Dynasty. Peaceful liberation came in 1951, and slavery was abolished during the democratic reforms of 1959. The Tibet Autonomous Region was officially established in 1965.
Breathtaking is not enough to describe the landscape of Tibet, which features stunningly high snow-capped mountains, primeval forests, vast plains, mighty rivers, the world’s highest lakes, and exotic wildlife and plants. Tibetans, who make up more than 90 percent of the local population, are born singers and dancers whose civilization is magnificent. Buddhist art flourishes, and among the 2,700 temples in the region, the Potala Palace, Norbulingka Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Tashilhunpo Monastery are famous.
