Tibetan Plateau

#mytraveldiary “Tibet rooftop” you might mean “Roof of the World,” a nickname often used for Tibet and the Tibetan Plateau. “Roof of the World” is a common metaphor for Tibet / the Tibetan Plateau because much of it lies at extremely high elevations (often over 4,000 meters / 13,000 feet). It refers to the vast high landscapes, snow‑peaks, mountain passes, glaciers, high lakes, and remote wilderness of the region. The altitude, panoramic mountain views, and sense of being “above the clouds” contribute to that image. #citydaytours #myitinerary #china #museums
