rivers

beautiful;
its
local
scenery

also
special.
Each

this
country
is
about
1,000
meters
high
above
the
sea
level.
It
is
the
highest
country
in
the
world.
So
it
is
called
"the
country
in
the
sky".
It
is
famous
for
its
high
mountains
and
grasslands
in
high
sea
level
places.
Its

more
than
30,000
square
kilometers.

at
about
1,500
meters

The

this
country
is
about
1,800,000.
Most

a
coat
when

is
cold,
and
use
them

a
quilt
when
they
want
to
sleep.
They
can
also

a
raincoat
when
it
is
raining.
It

confidence.
In

Chinese
culture
is
extensive
and
profound.
For
one
thing,
we
have
unique
language
and
our
national
arts
are
colourful.
For
another,
Chinese
traditional
festivals
have
a
long
