Geography by Picture - L

Or rather just "city". Would be apolitical and I anyway due not see the reason why some cities have an extra hint besides starting with "L".

I came to suggest the same thing. I would have gotten it if I said tibet.

I guess Tibet isn't mentioned on purpose to make it more difficult. I disagree anyway with choosing the description only according to what we like. What about all the cities in the USA and the horrible genocides?

Agree that saying "City in Tibet" would make it too easy. The picture would become irrelevant; it would just be "Name the only city you've ever heard of that's in Tibet."

Free Tibet, with the purchase of a Tibet of equal or greater value. Sorry, I had to do it again.

Agreed. I'd propose City in Asia.

That'll be too obvious

But 'Tibetan city' would make it too easy since most people know only one city in Tibet (or none).

Rename Tibet and Taiwan to Nachos.

The government in Beijing controls all of Tibet and has for over half a century. It is what it is.

China's behaviour in Tibet does not validate the behaviour of the Dalai Lama before China's occupation. There's a good reason only the ruling class and the monks joined the Dalai Lama's failed coup, ordinary people were delighted that China had saved them from the brutal rule of the lamas. It's similar to the situation in Iran; just because the current regime is a bad one, doesn't mean the one before it was good.

Is that what makes the lake notable? I've never heard of it, and it's tiny, you have to zoom all the way into Banff to even begin to see it.

I typed the same thing three times!

I learnt it as a levee in A-Level Geography years ago. I think we also learnt about dykes too, so not sure the difference.

Embankment can be natural, so I think that's why the distinction.
