Actually there are two more Tibetan regions in Sichuan and Qinghai that has strong Tibetan culture and tradition, not only the Tibetan culture but these also had beautiful plateau landscapes and nomad grasslands that unaffected by modernization, these regions are also known as Kham and Admo in Tibetan.

Kham is the face you never knew Tibet had: a land of raging rivers and deep gorges, immense pine forests and azalea-filled meadows, outspoken monks and rebel nomads. In Kham the Tibetan plateau begins its descent towards the subtropical Sichuan basin, and the landscapes represent both extremes: you can driver over a scrubby high mountain pass dusted with snow and a few hours later be sliding your way through rainforest on a mud-bath road. And chances are you will be the only foreigner in sight.
