Formerly independent Tibet is a very mountainous region of China in the Himalayas. The air is thin here and the average altitude is around 15,000 feet. Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, is a major religious center. Nestled in a valley, Lhasa was once home of the Dalai Lamas, who resided at the huge, nine-story Potala Palace. The seventh century Jokhang temple is the holiest Buddhist temple in Tibet and attracts masses of pilgrims. Two monasteries stand out: Drepung monastery is Tibet’s largest and Sera Monastery is especially holy to a Tibetan religious sect. There are many open air markets in this city.
Xigaze, also known as Shigatse. Tashilumpo monastery is particularly important to the Buddhist religion.
