In recent years, more and more travelers have flocked to Tibet, a mysterious land known as the “Roof of the World.” Located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the highest plateau in the world, the land here is vast and the climate is not as pleasant as many other tourist resorts. So, what are the reasons that prompt more and more people to embark on the journey to Tibet?

First of all, the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has greatly facilitated transportation to Tibet. This railway is not only the highest railway in the world, but also a magnificent journey through magnificent mountains and rivers. Taking the Qinghai-Tibet train, you can travel through the Tanggula Mountains, the Hoh Xil Wilderness Land, the Nagqu Qiangtang Prairie, experiencing breathtaking scenery along the way. The operation of the Qinghai-Tibet Train gives more people the opportunity to explore this mysterious and magnificent land. 

Secondly, Tibet itself has many world-class attractions. As the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest is one of the important attractions for tourists visiting Tibet. Many people dream of seeing Mount Everest and feeling its stunning magnificence. And in fact, you can travel from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp, the nearest place to get close to the world summit, to enjoy the brilliant sunrise and sunset views of Mount Everest. 

Besides mountains, lakes are also the highlights of Tibet. Namtso Lake, known as the “Heavenly Lake” and one of the three holiest lakes in Tibet, boasts its crystal clear water and magnificent mountain scenery. The lake reflects the rugged Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains. The blue sky and soft white clouds seem to be right above your head, making you feel like you are in a fairyland.

 In addition, Tibet is one of the important birthplaces of Buddhism and has many ancient temples and monasteries, attracting countless believers and tourists to worship and visit. The Jokhang Temple combines Tibetan, Tang, Nepalese and Indian architectural styles and has become an eternal model of Tibetan religious architecture. The Potala Palace, a landmark building in Tibet, was officially included in the World Cultural Heritage List in 1994. It was once the residence and meeting place of the Dalai Lama.

Tibet is also the destination for many plateau hiking routes. Tibet hiking trails vary in length and difficulty, making them suitable for all adventurous people. Hiking around Lhasa is an easy hiking route suitable for all ages. Hiking in Gama Valley will take you to Gama Valley, which is known as the most beautiful valley in the world and one of the “Top Ten Classic Hiking Routes in the World”.

Tibet’s traditional culture, folk customs and Tibetan people’s lifestyle are also very popular among tourists, making people more eager to understand and experience this unusual lifestyle. There are many local festivals in Tibet, with about 20 large and small festivals held every year. You can participate in popular festivals such as Saga Dawa Festival or Shoton Festival to immerse yourself in the unique local festival atmosphere.

With its unique natural scenery, religious beliefs and mysterious culture, Tibet attracts tourists of all ages and skin colors from all over the world. Countless people dream of taking a Tibet tour for a lifetime experience. If you’re considering your next travel destination, give this charming place a try.
