    Geography of TibetThe Tibet Autonomous Region is located in the southwestern frontier of the People's Republic of China. It covers an area of more than 1.2 million square kilometers, accounting for about one-eighth of the country's total area. The Kunlun Mountains and Tanggula Mountains in the north of Tibet are adjacent to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qinghai Province, the Jinsha River to the east is across from Sichuan Province, and the southeast is connected to the mountains and rivers of Yunnan Province. It borders Myanmar, India, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and other countries to the south. The border is nearly 4,000 kilometers, and it is China's southwest barrier.

     

    Tibet has a vast territory, unique natural conditions, and rich natural resources. It is a beautiful and fertile land in China. The Tibetans, Monba, Loba, Hui and other ethnic groups who have lived on this land for thousands of years are hardworking, brave, simple, and intelligent, and are important members of the Chinese nation. They have made positive contributions in the process of opening up the Tibetan Plateau, developing Chinese national culture, and jointly building a great motherland.

     

    With its bizarre geological landforms, magnificent natural scenery, splendid national culture, and unique customs, Tibet has become a holy place that many tourists, mountaineering explorers and scientific investigators yearn for.
