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.
The Three rivers in the East The
Gold Sand ,Lancang and Nu Rivers flow down from north to the south into Yunnan.
Accompanied by the grand sceneries of Mt.Hengduan,the 3-river area is a famous
