TibetTibet 

Tibet (Classical Tibetan: Bod, Lhasa dialect: Pö; Mandarin Chinese: 西藏, Xīzàng) is an autonomous region of China. Entering Tibet you feel as though you've entered an entirely different world. The traditional Tibetan culture, though heavily diluted recently by government-sponsored migrations of Han and Hui Chinese, remains strong.
