Bhutan Xinbe may be a transliteration or misspelling of the capital city Thimphu, located in western Bhutan at an altitude of about 2,300 meters above sea level, is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. As the only capital city in the world that does not use traffic lights (retaining the tradition in 2019), Thimphu blends ancient dzongkhag architecture with modern developments, with attractions such as the Sintokha Dzong, National Monument, and the Royal Palace of Bhutan highlighting its cultural heritage. Built on a mountainous terrain, the city has over 72% forest cover and is known as the "City in the Clouds" for its clean air. Residents are predominantly Dzongkha, with traditional costumes and festivals such as the Thimphu festival, and tourism is strictly regulated and based on sustainable experiences, making it an ideal place to experience Bhutan's "National Happiness Index" philosophy.
