Known as the “Roof（屋顶）of the World”, Tibet has been a part of China since more than a thousand years ago. However, because of poverty（贫穷）and the western force, the relations between Tibet and Inland became not so close in the 19th century. Since then, Tibetans and our countrymen have fought hard many times against the western control.

With a population of about 2.8 million, it lies in the southwest of China, and is the second largest province in China. It borders（接壤）on Sichuan and Yunnan provinces to the east, Qinghai and Xinjiang to the north, and shares borders with many Asian countries.

Tibet has a number of world-famous places of interest, such as the Potala Palace and Mount Qomolangma. The Potala Palace is in the capital（首都）city Lhasa, and it’s not only a wonderful model of Tibetan building, but also a treasure house where you can see wonderful arts and learn about Tibetan culture and history. As the highest point of the world, the top of Mount Qomolangma is covered with snow all year round, and when the sun comes out, the top of the mountain becomes very beautiful.
