Original 

I think one of my favorite place is Tibet in China. I went there in 2012, I went there with my friends. It had very clean air and spent almost 10 days during the whole travel/journey. Because it is very elevated so I think it is a little dangerous, because it may had happen some difficult situations for us especially when we arrived the mountains (Himalaya). It is the highest mountain in China, and some one of us may breathe very difficult there. Some of us got the headache, and want to throw up. So it is difficult but the view is also fabolous. The moon and stars seem very big and close. I feel like I stayed in space, so it is very impressive and magical. Can feel the different seasons there, sometimes the autumn can snow heavy in the mountains. Especially in the high sea level.
