learn

Tibet is an ethnic autonomous region with Tibetans as the main body. Others include the Han, Hui, Monba, and Luoba ethnic groups. The unidentified ethnic groups include Sherpas and Li people, with only more than 2,000 people. The unique geographical environment has created unique snow-covered scenery in Tibet. Tibet has both the unique plateau snowy scenery and the charming southern country style, and the cultural landscape integrated with this nature also gives Tibet a truly unique charm in the eyes of travelers. So far, there are still many Tibetans living customs that are far away from modern people outside the plateau. It is precisely because of the distance that everything in Tibet has ornamental value.
