With diverse mind-blowing plateau landscapes, myriad Tibetan Buddhist temples and palaces, Tibet has something for everyone and is a dream for backpackers. The reasons lie below:

Relatively Accessible Transport
To get to Tibet, there are three means of transport--by air, by train and by bus. Before, most people chose airport to get into Tibet due to the less use of time and safety; however, since the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has been put into service in 2006, more and more people prefer to enter Tibet by train, by which not only amazing plateau scenes can be enjoyed on the way, but also get a better adaptation for the gradually rising altitude.

Diverse Plateau Landscapes

Enjoying as the rooftop of the world, Tibet rises thousands of meters above sea levels. This high altitude makes Tibet the perfect spot for adventures and sightseeing of the plateau landscapes. There are as many snow peaks as you could imagine. Among them all, the Everest is also located in Tibet. Other than the snow peaks, there are also a lot of other landscapes worth seeing, like the grassland and forests as well as countless lakes and rivers. In addition, Tibet is home to a large number of animals among of which the yaks are the most representative one. During your Tibet trip, you will find that these animals add more charms to the plateau of Tibet.

Unique Tibetan-style Temples and Palaces

The most representative attractions throughout Tibet are Potala Palace and Johkang Temple. About 2 kilometers away from the center of Lhasa, the Potala Palace is an imposing architectural complex originally built in the 7th century before Sontzen Gampo married Princess Bhrikuti of Licchavi Kingdom of Nepal and Princess Wencheng of Tang Dynasty. Enjoying as one of the oldest wooden structure buildings in Tibet, Jokhang Temple is well known for its mixed architectural styles of Tibet, Tang, Nepal and India, and creates a new model in architecture in Tibet. Another feature of the temple is that it is a sacred temple that has been worshiped all the time by different religious sects rather than belongs to some denomination.

Tibet, just hearing this name purifies our soul, makes our spirit travel to another world of azure sky, temples, orange-clad monks and serene nomads. Are these above-mentioned reasons tempting enough to pay a visit? Then do not hesitate and just act now!
