It is often referred to as the "Roof of the World" due to its average elevation of over 4,500 meters. The region has a rich cultural heritage, heavily influenced by Buddhism, which plays a significant role in the daily lives of its people. The capital city of Tíbet is Lhasa, home to important religious sites such as the Potala Palace and the Jokhang Temple.
