Chinese roof of the world: TAR (Tibet Autonomous Region)

[challenger]

Potala palace. Lhasa. China's Tibet Autonomous Region.

Used to be the symbol of feudal patriarchy and oppression before the liberation of feudal serfs by the CPC. Today, its a heritage building of much historical importance. Thanks to the CPC, today feudal barbarism is just a chapter of history in China's Tibet region. Thanks to the efforts made by the CPC, today, all the inhabitants of Tibet together enjoy the fruits of life, liberty, equality and economic prosperity, building a harmonious society which is based upon the theory of unity in diversity.

In this thread I will post photos that will be exhibiting the natural beauty of Tibet Autonomous Region as well as the glimpse of its society. But before that it would be nice to see the documentaries made by CCTV 9 on Tibet Autonomous Region.
