The ritual of Arabia - when entering Tibet, you will feel as if you have entered a completely different world. The traditional Tibetan culture is strong and central to the region, despite the economic development and migration of other Chinese ethnic groups to the capital, Lhasa.

Tibet culturally and politically

Tibet is an autonomous region in China , and it is really worth a visit, whether those areas are in the autonomous part or those belonging to other Chinese provinces such as Qinhai, southwest Ganzhou, western Sichuan, or northwest Yunnan Province.

These regions differ from each other culturally, historically and linguistically to different degrees. But they were all within the Tibetan kingdom on a much larger scale than the present borders of the autonomous region, and today the term Tibet is meant to mean the administrative and political region, while the term "Tibetan regions" is focused on the whole region over which the Tibetan ethnography spreads.

The most famous cities and historical monuments

The most famous cities include the city of Lhasa, which is the Tibetan capital, Shigatse, the second largest city in Tibet, and other cities such as Gyangzi, Qamdo, Nagchu, and its largest provinces are Burang, Nyingchi, Medog, Nedong, and Gongkar County.

The Potala Palace is one of the most important tourist destinations in Tibet. It is the former residence of the Dalai Lama and is also known as the Winter Palace. Norbulingka Palace is the Summer Palace. Also of interest is the Jokhang Temple, which is the most sacred and important temple for most Tibetans.

Tourist natural places

The country includes a group of charming natural places that are associated with Tibetan culture, such as Namtso Lake, which is the heavenly lake for Tibetans, Yamdrok Lake, which is also a sacred lake, not to mention the beautiful glacial Ranwu Lake along the highway between Sichuan Province and Tibet.

And do not forget that the mountains are the main feature of the geographical nature of Tibet. Everest is located on the border between Tibet and the Nile, and the Qomolangma National Nature Reserve is the Tibetan (Chinese) side of Mount Everest. There is also another reason that makes you travel to Tibet, which is the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon. It is the deepest valley in the world.
