Features: On the topographic map of China, there is an area displaying a brown color symbolizing high altitude, with densely packed light brown blocks in the center indicating they have exceeded the altitude of snowy red. This is the destination we will reach—Qinghai-Tibet Tourist Area. Do you think of the "Heavenly Palace on Earth" Potala Palace? The "Root of Ten Thousand Mountains" Kunlun? The renowned "Three Wonders of Ta'er Temple," or the "Sacred Mountains and Holy Lakes" that people worship? Beyond these, in the vastness and depth of this roof of the world, there may be many things unknown to you. Have you heard the folk artists singing Pingqian'er from the elders, or the songs of Tibetan women drifting through the water? And have you tasted the Nianpi (fermented wheat gluten) mixed by the enthusiastic vendors in the alleys of Xining? Or would you like to see the Tibetan opera with its white-faced and blue-faced performers? This is the highest place in the world, and it is also the place with the most "spiritual" stories in the world. Come to Qinghai-Tibet, and the fragrant qingkejiu (barley wine) and fluttering wind horse flags will welcome you—the distant traveler.
