Plateau of Tibet, Qingzang Gaoyuan or Ch’ing-tsang Kao-yuan, also called Tibetan Highlands or Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, vast high plateau of southwestern China. It encompasses all of the Tibet Autonomous Region and much of Qinghai province and extends into western Sichuan province and southern Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang. The region lies between the Kunlun Mountains and its associated ranges to the north and the Himalayas and Karakoram Range to the south and southwest, respectively; it extends eastward to the Daxue Mountains and, farther south, the northern and central portions of the Hengduan Mountains. The plateau, which has an area of about 965,000 square miles (2,500,000 square km), is a region of tangled mountains and uplands that are generally above 13,000 to 15,000 feet (4,000 to 5,000 metres) in elevation. Mount Everest (Qomolangma Feng), rising 29,035 feet (8,850 metres) above sea level on the China-Nepal border, is the world’s highest peak (see Researcher’s Note: Height of Mount Everest).
