A Tibetan language website on Tibetan culture and progress in areas inhabited by Tibetan people opened recently in Qinghai Province, a multi-ethnic area in northwest China.
The website, www.qh-tibetan.com, was launched by the Qinghai News Network, a key media organ in Qinghai, where 842,000 Tibetan people, or 19.6 percent of Qinghai's total population, live for generations.
It provides access to more than 100 columns in nine categories including environment protection, tourism, Tibetan literature, Tibetan medicine and Tibetan Buddhism.
The website will focus on spreading Tibetan culture, eco-environmental protection and achievements made in speeding up development of western China in both Qinghai and other Tibetan-inhabited regions.
