Description
The Tibetans and Their Cities
The land of the Tibetans is included in the colony of the Chinese Empire. Most of the Tibetan people's houses are built by mountain stones and firewoods. In Tibet, precisely in Lhasa City, there is a temple made of gold. This temple is the largest in Asia. In this land, lives a Tale Lama (Supreme Priest) who is recognized as the incarnation of Buddha. Therefore, like Muslims who go on pilgrimage to Mecca, thousands of people come from all over Asia to the city to visit the Monk.
