Tibet Autonomous Region

The Tibet Autonomous Region is a mountainous area in southwest China that has been inhabited for millennia, with a unique history and culture deeply influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. It was incorporated into the Yuan dynasty in the 13th century and is currently administered as an autonomous region within the People’s Republic of China. The region is renowned for its spiritual landmarks, including the Potala Palace, and its high-altitude plateau landscape.

Lhasa

Lhasa is the historic capital of Tibet and a major religious center, most famous for the Potala Palace, the former winter residence of the Dalai Lamas. Founded in the 7th century, it became the heart of Tibetan Buddhism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city remains a deeply spiritual destination, centered around the sacred Jokhang Temple.
