Tibet is a region located in the southwestern part of China, with a rich cultural and historical heritage. It is known for its stunning landscapes, including the Himalayan mountain range, and is often referred to as the 'Roof of the World' due to its high average elevation. The capital of Tibet is Lhasa, which is home to the iconic Potala Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site that served as the winter residence of the Dalai Lamas.
The region is predominantly inhabited by ethnic Tibetans, who practice Tibetan Buddhism, which greatly influences their culture, festivals, and daily life. Traditional Tibetan society is largely agricultural and nomadic, with a strong emphasis on community and spirituality. Monasteries are central to Tibetan culture and serve as places of worship and learning.
In recent decades, Tibet has been the focus of political attention and debate regarding autonomy and human rights. The Chinese government administers Tibet as an autonomous region, yet many Tibetans and international observers express concerns about cultural preservation and ecological sustainability. Despite these challenges, Tibet remains a place of profound beauty and cultural richness.
