The age-old history and culture of Tibet have created a unique histori-cal and cultural landscape， one that still flourishes today and whose spe-cial magic acts as a magnet to people from all over the world， The aim of this book is to unfold in words and beautiful images that historical and cultural landscape， and in so doing， to explain the inseparable his-torical ties between Tibet and the rest of China， and the emotional bonds that unite China's Tibetan and Han peoples.
