That's very interesting. I think it just might be the smallest for an inland climate. What are some examples of East Asian places with similarly small differences between averages and records?
Even in the arctic, most places by an ocean have a small difference between record and average lows in summer. Eureka, Nunavut has a difference in 5.1C in July, Qaanaaq 5.1 in July, Vize island (Russia) 4.6 in July (and 6.8C in August highs, 7.4 in July high). Tromso 6.7 in August, Reykjavik 6.1 in August (7.1 in March highs).
Inland places are higher, but most don't get far below freezing in midsummer, so places with cool summers can have small ranges: Baker Lake, Nunavut 7.8 in July, from 6.1 to -1.7; Schefferville, Quebec 7.3 to 0.0 in July; Murmansk 7.5 in July, from 9.2 to 1.7.
Lhasa is more stable than most inland places, lows are within about 7 degrees of the averages in all months, July has a difference of 5.9, from 10.4 to 4.5. Highs in winter vary more, but September highs have a difference of only 5.
