Top China Tourist Places

Tibet

Tibet is the most excellent location to come into contact with the genuine Buddhism and culture. While in Tibet one acquires a sense of being in a special part of the globe. The monasteries constructed centuries ago, the sweeping grasslands, the exclusive and untouched lakes, the snow carved mountains at all times merit the attention of the visitors.















Golmud to Lhasa





The Kyichu River (also known as Lhasa River) Railway Bridge is near Lhasa, capital of Tibetan Autonomous Region. The 928.85-meter-long railway bridge, with the main span of 108 meters, is a landmark on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which is expected to start operation on July 1.

Tibet (Xizang), the Roof of the World, remained unknown to the world until the very beginning of the 20th century. The massive, snowy land has exerted an awesome draw to travelers and adventurers ever since. Its majestic and grand scenery, mysterious and exotic religious culture, and wonderful people reward every tourist with an unforgettable memory!


Tibet (Tibet Autonomous Region, TAR for short) borders India, Burma, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal. The plateau is surrounded by the highest mountain ranges; the Himalaya to the south, the Karakoram to the west, and the Kunlun to the north. Smaller mountain ranges block it off in the east with internal provinces of China.


With an average height of 4,000 meter above sea level, Tibet encompasses some of the world's highest mountains. The Mount Everest (Mt. Qomolangma) in the bordering area of China and Nepal is 8,848.13 meter tall, the highest peak in the world. 4 mountains exceed altitudes of 8,000 meter. 38 mountains exceed altitudes of 7,000 meter.
Tibet has a plateau climate featuring a remarkable change vertically and a big temperature change during the daytime and the night. The North Tibet Plateau is dry and cold. It has a low temperature, a long sunshine time, a strong radiation, less rainfalls and a small density of air.

This "Roof of the World" is the dreamland of mountaineers and adventurers. The vast land is also the cradle of great rivers like the Yangtze, Yellow River, Nu River (Salween), Lancang River (Mekong), Yarlong Tsangpo (Brahmaputra), Indus, and Ganges. Tibet also offers awe-inspiring scenery of heavenly lakes and valleys
