Tibet Autonomous Region

Tibet sits at extreme altitude on the Tibetan plateau, creating a unique environment and deeply spiritual Buddhist culture. Mount Everest is the world's highest peak on the China-Nepal border. The landscape is predominantly high plateau with snow-capped mountains and pristine valleys. Ancient monasteries perch dramatically on hillsides, while traditional Tibetan towns preserve medieval character. The spiritual significance and unique culture make this one of China's most distinctive regions. The Potala Palace in Lhasa is an iconic landmark.
