It is known for its unique culture, rich history, and stunning landscapes, including the world's highest mountains, such as Mount Everest. The region is often referred to as the "Roof of the World" due to its high elevation. Tibet has a significant spiritual heritage, being the traditional home of Tibetan Buddhism, which is practiced by many of its inhabitants. The capital city, Lhasa, is famous for the Potala Palace, a historic site that served as the winter residence of the Dalai Lama. Tibet's political status has been a subject of international discussion and concern.
