Thimphu, Bhutan: The Capital of Happiness in the Himalayan Foothills
Thimphu, the capital of the Kingdom of Bhutan, is located in the Wanghe Valley at the southern foot of the eastern Himalayas at an altitude of about 2,300 meters, and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. As the only city in the world that has adopted GNH as its core development philosophy, Thimphu is a blend of traditional Tibetan Buddhist culture and modern governance wisdom, with a soothing pace of urbanization and a natural environment that complements the human landscape. Tashichho Dzong in the center of the city is the residence of Bhutanese government agencies and an important place for religious activities, with its wooden buildings and white walls and golden roofs highlighting the essence of traditional Bhutanese architecture. With over 60% forest cover, excellent air quality and simple people living in the surrounding area, preserving traditional crafts such as handloom weaving and thangka painting, it is an ideal place to experience the unique charm of the "Land of Happiness".
