Abstract
Alexandra David-Neel was “the first European to break into the Roof of the world”. She has written a lot about Tibet in all her life, among which My journey to Lhasa was the greatest one. The author's personal experience intuitively reflects the real world in Tibetan areas. In the eyes of David-Neel, Tibetan areas are naturally beautiful and dangerous. Generally speaking, Tibetans are simple and lovely. They generally have religious beliefs and strong national identity.
