A travel guide to Tibet Located in the southwest part of the Qinghai-Tibet

Plateau, Tibet covers more than 1.2 million square

kilometers with a population of 2.62 million.

It has been a charming tourists destination. Rather

than take other means of transport, you’d better cross

the region by railway. Travelling by train, you will be

amazed to appreciate mountains covered by snow and

vast grassland as well as peaceful and clear lakes.

When you cross the grassland, you may be

fortunate to catch sight of antelopes. Meanwhile,

you will be a bit sad about the fact that it is an

endangered species. As well as breathtaking

scenery, splendid ancient temples make Tibet one

of the holy lands to make a pilgrimage. The picture

that the locals are making pilgrimages so sincerely

is impressive to people from other cultures. All

these attractions make Tibet a paradise for

tourists.
