Tíbet

"El Tíbet, oficialmente la Región Autónoma del Tíbet, es una región autónoma perteneciente a la República Popular China, situada en el Asia Central, con capital en Lhasa. Estas tierras son una meseta con un promedio de altura de 4900 msnm la cual está rodeada de las cordilleras de mayor altitud de la Tierra. El concepto occidental "Tíbet" puede referirse tanto a la región autónoma de China como al Tíbet histórico que consiste en las provincias de Amdo, Kham, y Ü-Tsang. La lengua mayoritaria es el tibetano. En el Tíbet se encuentra la montaña más alta del mundo, el monte Everest (8848 msnm), haciendo frontera con Nepal."

"The Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) or Xizang Autonomous Region, called Tibet or Xizang (Chinese: ; pinyin: Xzàng; Tibetan: , Wylie: Bod) for short, is a province-level autonomous region of the People's Republic of China (PRC). It was formally established in 1965 to replace the Tibet Area, an administrative division the PRC inherited from the Republic of China (ROC), about 5 years after the dismissal of the Kashag by the PRC following the 1959 Tibetan uprising, and about 13 years from the Tibet's incorporation by the PRC in 1951. Within China, Tibet is identified as an autonomous region. The current borders of Tibet were generally established in the 18th century and include about half of ethno-cultural Tibet. The Tibet Autonomous Region is the second-largest province-level division of China by area, spanning over 1,200,000 square kilometres (460,000 sq mi), after Xinjiang, and mostly due to its harsh and rugged terrain, is the least densely populated provincial-level division of the PRC."
