Tibet - General Information
|
|
|
|
Tibet, the very name
evokes feelings of awe and mystery. A land of ancient
Buddhist culture, awesome landscapes, artistic
monasteries and centuries old caravan trails, Tibet is a
destination out of the ordinary.
Famed as the Roof of the world, the Tibet Autonomous
Region of China lies on a plateau at an average
elevation of 4000 m. It is bounded by the Kunlun
mountains to the north and the Himalaya to the south.
Tibet covers an area of 1.2 million sq. km and has a
population of 2.3 million.
Tibet is a capital Lhasa [elevation 3.700 m] is a
cultural city with a history going back 1,300 years. The
magnificent Potala Palace, former seat of the Dalai
Lamas, presides over the city. Built in 1645 at the top
of a hill, the palace contains 1,000 rooms, 10,000
shrines and 200,000 religious statues. The old city
revolves around the Jhokhang Temple and the quaint
Barkhor market that surrounds it. The Jhokhang, built in
the seventh century, is the holiest built in the seventh
century, is the holiest Buddhist shrine in Tibet. Its
mural paintings, finely worked golden roofs and other
artworks are something to see. At a little distance from
the old city core, Lhasa is also a modern capital of
concrete high-rises, fancy department stores and wide
boulevards.
Norbulingka consists of wooded greenery and three
palaces once used by the Dalai Lamas as a summer
retreat. The Depung Monastery lies about 10 km from the
city. Built in 1416, it is the largest in Tibet. The
Sera Monastery, about 5 km to the north of Lhasa, is
another important center of Buddhist learning. It lies
amidst serene surroundings. |
