Different from other attractions, Tibet is a magical land. Its incomparable charm is perhaps derived from historical myth which has created an unique sense of mystery. Its beautiful natural scenery, religious spirit, unique nationality customs, traditional culture attract tourists from all over the world. But its difficult geographical environment and extremely high altitude make the journey to Tibet not so easy.
