　　从前的许多个世纪，西藏以其独特的自然环境和社会、宗教形态与生存风貌著称于世。为了找寻冰峰雪岭间的种种奇异，多少西方人远足而来前仆后继。风雪抚平了一代代猎奇者的足迹，对于西藏的认识始终是重新开始。而今，中国的国门已然开启，西藏的今天仍一如既往地保持着其自然和人文的双重魅力，正以其古老而新鲜的面貌，向世界展示着她的风采。从高山到大海，西藏正张开双臂欢迎五湖四海的友人，向世界报道她古往今来的信息。

With a total area of 1.22 million square kilometers at an elevation of more than 4,000 meters, the Tibet Autonomous Region is located in southwest China, and borders Myanmar, India, Bhutan and Nepal. It is composed of one city, six prefectures, and 72 counties, with a population of 2.7 million. Tibetans make up 92.8% of this total, but they share the region together with the Moinba, Lhoba, Hui, Mongolian, Naxi and Han ethnicities, as well as the Sharpa and Deng peoples.

In past centuries, Tibet was known to the world for its unique natural environment, enthralling social and religious institutions, and distinct lifestyle and culture.
