Tibet lies in the southwest of China. It is home to the Jomolangma, the highest peak on earth, and to many snow-capped mountains over 5,000 meters high-a mountain mass like an arched back supporting the continent of Asia. They have earned Tibet the titles "Roof of the World" and "Third Pole." Tibet has been a part of China since ancient times. On this vast land Tibetan, Han, Hui, Monpa and Lhopa peoples live in peace side by side. This is a world where man and nature too co-exist in harmony. This book offers a comprehensive panorama of the pure and unspoilt natural landscapes and the religious mysteries of the high plateau.
