Tibet.

Tibet sits high on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on China's southwest border. Traditionally, Tibet is made up of the three provinces of Amdo, Kham, and U-Tsang. Since China took control of Tibet in 1949, its political boundaries have been redrawn to include only the U-Tsang and part of western Kham, which was designated as the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) on Chinese maps in 1965. The majority of cultural Tibet has been incorporated into China's Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan Provinces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
