Natural Beauty of Tibet (page 1)

Tibet is the biggest,highest and the youngest plateau in the world.It claims to be the " Roof of the world" and " the Third Pole".Mt.Kunlun,Mt.Himalaya,Mt.Gangdis and Mt.Henduan are all scraping the sky. Tibet is full of rivers and lakes which provides avundance of hydroelectrice power and aquatic products.Bushy banks of the rivers and lakes are the homes of swans and geese.If you do not watch your step,you might stride on their eggs.On the banks of the salt water lakes,there are great heaps of alkail which also contains nitre and borax.

The Holy Snow Land
The mountains and peaks in the tibetan Plateau are either covered or capped with silver snow.They are shining under the sunlight.It would be even more bearutiful looking down from and airplane.

Mt.Everest
No.1 Peak on earth is Mt.Everest,standing on the top of the other peaks with a height of 8,848.13 metres.Its silver peak sends out silver radiance yea after year.Its waist is hidden in the clouds,attracting thousands of mountaineers and tourists.

High Peaks
Among the 14 peaks above 8,000 metres on earth,5 are in Tibet.Besides Mt.Everest,peaks like Luozi,Makalu,Zhuoayou,Xixiabangma and Nanjiabawa are all competing to stand up higher than other peaks on earth.Huge rocks are piercinginto the sky.Endless ice and snow are depicting a silver world. White ice towers,stalagmites and stalactites,the serene looking ice sheep against the ferocious looking ice lion are the masterpieces of ice carving by the great nature.What is not white?What is not pure here in Tibet?

Mt.Kailash
It is considered as the most sacred mountain by buddhists and Hindus alike.Buddhists believe it to be the axis of Mt.Sumeru, the central mountain amidst the four continets of the old concept of world system.Himdus believe it to be the throne of Shiva.Kailash is very beautiful in appearance,thickly covered with snows and hovering dominatingly above its surrounding peaks though its altitude is "only" 6.14 meters.
