Tibet (Xizang)
Xizang is a majestic and richly
endowed place with lofty mountains of various postures. But long long
ago there was a vast expanse of sea. It did not until the Himalaya's
orogenic movement turn to be the highest plateau on the earth.
Mencius, (372-288 B.C., the Chinese philosopher)
one said.
"When Confucuis (351-478
B.C.the Chinese educationist) at the top of Eastern Mountains, he
felt that the land of Lu state was small, so did he feel the land
under the Heaven while he was on the summit of Mount Tai".
Therefore one could well turn his nose
at the world if he can get to the world's roof-top--Mount Jo-mo
Glang-ma, the most magnificent peak where rivers run in all directions.
It is not only the source of many Asian rivers, but the centre of
the wide and misty Chinese lakes as well.
