China's Picturesque Tibet Autonomous Region: News & Images

@Azizam , @itaskol ,

The symbol is called the yungdrung , a Buddhist symbol for eternity.

This symbol is also there on Sri Lankan coins that were used about 2000 years ago. Seems like it's widespread in Asia.

Picture is the design of the coin.

Yes . this is a buddhism symbol. because it is flatwise and counterclockwise .

And it is called Swastika.

Did Hitler copy it from Tibet? I know that he believed that Tibet was the origin of Aryan race.

Its very commonly used in many Buddhist societies [Mahayana and Thervada]. You're Sri Lankan are you not? So, historically and culturally, i'm guessing you're Singhalese? They say Sri Lanka influenced Thervada Buddhism in present day Thailand, Cambodia, Laos...

I am Sinhalese and it's true. At some point of history Sri Lanka used to be the centre of Buddhism for some time.

Tibet is a great place to visit and certainly a visit to Tibet will be adventurous.

Can't you provide more information? East of travel, language (how it is for people who can't speak Chinese or Tibetan), how eay it is to access rural places, public transport in Tibet etc.?

I know that there is a train from Beijing to Lhasa that takes few days to travel with beautiful beautiful beautiful sceneries to offer.

it is a very different place. dont have lot of highway like another place in china. and limited speed.
travel in tibet. you need more times. because from one place to other place in tibet cost too many times.

and some place not for foreigner to visit. such like Nyingchi district.( near china india LOC)
foreigner need extra visa to visit there.

in lahsha, there are many foreigners there.

Excellent! I watched a documentary about a truck convoy travelling from China to Pakistan via the Karakoram highway, the visual was just spectacular. I could almost breath the crystal clear air from my TV set, lol.

please remind me why is Tibet poor again. so beautiful they can get rich just by tourism

Not everybody wants their pristine landscape ruined by building concrete jungles and having millions of tourists trampling all over the place. Also the fact that such "development" almost always destroys the close knit nature of the local community.

To paraphrase from the movie Avatar, " why would they do it? for light beer and blue jeans?"

could be just like Hawaii but I know US is richer than China. But for how long

Many Hawaiians would be missing the good old days before tourism came to town.

Hawaii has one of the most expensive real estate in the US, sky high taxes and all the other benefits of "development".

Brightening the heart of liberated slaves

Wonderful! Truly Wonderful!

The pig looks healthy, i bet its wonderful if they serve it roasted. The image of the yak by the beach is also wonderful, the background is the himalayas?

Definitely, one of my future destinations in China will have to be Tibet !

Thank you bro @itaskol for sharing these pictures.
