Lhasa is the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region and the center of Tibet's political, economic, cultural and religious activities. With a history of more than 1,300 years, it is the highest capital in the world. Lhasa literally means "place of the gods", although ancient Tibetan documents and inscriptions demonstrate that the place was called Rasa, which means "goat's place".
