1. Tibet has a large temperature difference between day and night, with the average annual temperature ranging from -2.4°C to 12.1°C, decreasing from southeast to northwest. is highest in June or July and lowest in January, the daytime temperature range in most areas is above 15°C, which is higher in winter and smaller in summer. It is recommended to bring some clothes.
2. It is actually very convenient to withdraw money in Tibet, but it is recommended to use postal savings, which is the most convenient bank, such as China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China and Bank. of China also have them, but some small places do not have them. Banks in some counties are often closed, but thThey generally have ATMs. Others, like Everbright and Transportation, are not available in Tibet.
3. Tibet has very strong ultraviolet rays, so you should not take it lightly, especially Lhasa, which has a high altitude and is a "sunny city". as well as sunglasses and a parasol. It's best to wear a hat, otherwise your skin may not tolerate it and your eyes may be uncomfortable at the end of the day.
4. There are many good places in Tibet. You can look at the places that interest you and plan your route yourself. For example, Potala Palace (3 hours) → Zongjiao Lukang Park (1 hour) → Jokhang Temple (1.5 hours) → Barkhor Street (2 hours).
Detailed information:
Notes:
1. the air is thin, the atmospheric pressure is low, and the oxygen content is low. The average air density is 60-70% of the air density at sea level.

How about Shigatse Nongding Breeding Co., Ltd.
Equipment: The less luggage you carry when traveling to Tibet, the better, but it should be sufficient. A backpack of 45 liters or more is sufficient, and a fanny pack is sufficient. Keep personal items such as cash and documents in your fanny pack.
Yi: Due to the higher altitude in Tibet, the overall temperature is lower than that of the mainland. This is particularly important at Namtso and Everest base camps. July to early September is basically the rainy season in Tibet. The weather will clear up in ten days, so you should pay more attention to staying warm and avoid catching cold. All body gear, including tops, pants and shoes, must be waterproof. During the rainy season, it rains heavily at night in Lhasa and Nyingchi, so down jackets, fleece jackets, fleece pants, gloves andHats are all necessary. In Tibet you must wear hiking shoes. Firstly, the road conditions in some places are very bad and protect your feet. Second, hiking shoes have better waterproof and warm performance. You must bring a sleeping bag. Accommodation conditions in many places in Tibet are not very good and some beds are very dirty. Sleeping in your own sleeping bag will keep you warm and hygienic. Unless you are camping, otherwise you don't need to bring a moisture-proof mat, but you do need to bring slippers.
Food: Nowadays, Chinese restaurants in Tibet are mainly opened by Sichuanese people. For breakfast, you can spend a few yuan to eat a full meal in a small shop. You can also cook vegetables for lunch and dinner, and the price is not trop dear. There are three main places to eat Chinese food in Lhasa. One is in the Western Suburbs, that is, the area west of the Yak Bronze Statue. It is not far from Potala Palace and mainly serves Sichuan hot pot. around Niangre South Road, next to the Civil Aviation Ticket Office, there are also several Sichuan restaurants to try. (Don't go to the fast food hamburger restaurant on this road, it's extremely unpleasant); the third place is the section between Balangxue Hotel and Ya Hotel on Beijing Middle Road and Beijing East Road. There are also several small Sichuan restaurants.
When it comes to Tibetan, Tibetan and Nepalese cuisine, you can go to Ganglameduo Bar in Ya Hotel, Wei Niu Salon Restaurant next to Jiri Hotel or Maggie Ami Bar. The Snow God Palace, opposite the Potala Palace, is one of the most upscale Tibetan restaurants in Lhasa. The celebrityTibetan food is butter tea, fried lamb chops, Tibetan steamed buns, blood sausage, yak meat cooked with radish, etc. You can try them when you arrive in Lhasa, but many people are not used to them.
Accommodation: Nowadays, the most famous hotels in Lhasa are Balangxue and Jirijiya Hotel. They are more famous than other hotels. Second, you can find friends to rent a car with you. , which is very practical. These three hotels are all on Beijing East Road, very close to each other. Relatively speaking, Ya Hotel is the most expensive, while Balangxue Hotel is older because the rooms are separated by wooden boards, so the soundproofing equipment is poor, so. I always recommend Ji Hotel. All three hotels have free laundry, public bathrooms and public toilets. The only drawback of Balangxue is that after washing, the clothes are mixed and you need to select them yourself, while Jiri has a special laundry bag. After washing, the waiter puts it in the bag and delivers it to your room.

When you go to Mount Everest, you can stay at Rongbuk Monastery or Mount Everest Base Camp.
OK: Traveling to Tibet costs more than other places, and transportation costs make up the majority, especially round-trip travel costs. It will be cheaper to take a long distance local shuttlence, but Tibet's scenic spots are scattered and relatively far from each other, so it is more cost-effective for 4-5 people to rent a bus together and share the fare. There are notice boards in the lobbies of the three backpacker hotels where you can post messages to contact you about renting a car.
The starting price of a tricycle in Tibet is 3 yuan, and 4 to 5 yuan in slightly more remote places; taxis all cost 10 yuan. (Drepung Monastery in Lhasa is far away, so the taxi fare is 20 yuan).
This time I went to Gyantse, Shigatse and Nyingchi for 4 days. Four people rented a car, Toyota cost 62 4,400 yuan, and the average price per person was 1,100 yuan. Go to Namtso for 2 days, rent a car for 4 people, Toyota 62, 1300 yuan, 325 yuan per person. On National Day and May 1st, pricesx cars will increase. Going to Shigatse and Mount Everest will also be more expensive. Food for the driver is included, but accommodation is not included. Cars traveling to the Mount Everest region must pay a road construction fee based on the number of wheels, 100 yuan per wheel. 400 yuan for off-road vehicles and 600 yuan for trucks. In addition, each tourist must pay a scenic spot fee of 65 yuan. The driver must have all driving licenses. This time when I went to Linzhi, I encountered a technical inspection on the way. Our driving licenses were all complete, but the car he bought was a scrapped car. the extension is requested once per quarter. Regarding the scrappage procedures, his car had just expired on September 20 and had to go through the extended scrappage procedure. We were not aware of the regulations. , heIt took a long time to crush the captain of the traffic team before he let go. The team leader told us that most of the Toyota 62s in Tibet are scrap cars. We figured it out later and we have to pay attention to this aspect. If we really don't want to let go, we can only fill a few red envelopes to get through.
Altitude sickness: Symptoms of altitude sickness include: headache, dizziness, excitement and insomnia, chest tightness, rapid breathing, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension, etc. . Before entering the set, one should take good rest, avoid being nervous and under psychological pressure, avoid colds, avoid smoking and alcohol, take American ginseng orally, and eat Rhodiola rosea a week in advance to strengthen its resistance. If you are entering the plateau by land, it is best to enterer via the Sichuan-Tibet or Yunnan-Tibet line, and exit via the Qinghai-Tibet or Xinjiang-Tibet line. It will be better to adapt gradually from low altitude to. high altitude.; If you are flying, altitude sickness will usually appear at night or the next day, so after arriving in Lhasa, you should get enough rest just because you think everything is fine at that time. It is best not to take a shower the first few days after going there, to avoid colds. When arriving in Tibet, it is best to adapt in Lhasa for 1-2 days before heading to a remote place. This will allow an adaptation process and will also ensure good physical condition for your body during the future journey. If altitude sickness unfortunately occurs during the trip, you should treat it in time, take rhodiola rosea in time, and inhale oxygen if severe. If you feel chest tightnesssevere cough, severe cough, difficulty breathing, slow reaction or even coma, you should be sent to the hospital for treatment or transferred to a low altitude area. It takes a long time to enter the set by car, the accommodation conditions are poor, and the physical strength is high. It is necessary to prepare medicines, water, drinks and easily digestible foods to replenish the necessary water and calories. body on time and eat more vegetables and fruits. If you can eat, sleep, and maintain an optimistic attitude, you can beat altitude sickness.
Medications: cold medicines (antipyretics, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, isatis granules), trauma medicines (Yunnan Baiyao spray, plasters, eye drops), nutritional medicines (multivitamins) , prevention of altitude sickness (Qinghai or Tibet) Rhodiola rosea capsules productes by pharmaceutical factories), antipyretics (Bezoard detoxification tablets, Xia Sangju), gastrointestinal drugs (fluoropic acid, modinin), throat lozenges, including isatis root granules and multivitamins, throat lozenges must be taken daily Rhodiola rosea should also be consumed.
Other health concerns: stay warm; wear sunglasses and a sun hat; due to dust on Tibet's tourist routes and poor sanitary conditions, it is not recommended to bring only wet wipes; going on set He is often dry and prone to chapped lips and nosebleeds. Drink more water, take more throat lozenges, and bring sunscreen, body lotion, lip balm, nasal ointment, and cooling oil. and travel fatigue, women's menstrual cycles are often perturbed, therefore provide sufficient physiological hygiene products.
Issuance of Border Defense Permit: Traveling to certain locations in Mount Everest, Zhangmu, Ngari and Linzhi regions of Tibet requires a Border Defense Permit. It is best to apply for it at the place of residence. It is now difficult to apply for a border defense permit in Tibet. You can apply for a border defense permit at the household registration section of the municipal public security bureau at the place of residence. reside with your ID card and household registration book, and fill out a border defense permit application form, indicate the reason for requesting to visit relatives and the destination, simply fill in the Shigatse area, Ali region, Linzhi region and. Shannan region. The processing time does not take long and you can generatealways get it the same day. Just take your passport with you, you don't need to apply for a border permit.
Internet cafes: The current living standard in Tibet is improving day by day, and Internet cafes are everywhere. There is no problem accessing the Internet in large areas. The cost of Internet access is generally 4 yuan/5 yuan. an hour, but the speed of some Internet cafes is even slightly slower.
Telecommunications: Currently, China Telecom and mobile communications do not have major problems in major cities in Tibet, but China Unicom has a slight problem.
Banks and ATMs: It is best to bring plenty of cash with you. The ATM is in Lhasa, China Construction Bank has Internet access, and the Postal Green Card is also easier to use, but still recommended. to bring it. Cash, because it is impossible to get money all the way through the hinterland. Additionally, if you exchange money in bulk, you can give alms to temples or elderly beggars. Tibet does not accept coins.
Customs and taboos: When visiting temples, you are not allowed to touch Buddha statues at will. Women are not allowed to enter some Buddhist temples. You must respect the lamas and the temples. You should rotate clockwise when rotating the prayers.

Fare evasion problem:
Potala; Escape from Palace Fare is more difficult.
Drepung Monastery opening hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; it is open to Tibetan pilgrims before 9:00 a.m., and if you go after 8:00 a.m. you can enter with the Tibetans without purchasing. a ticket, but some Buddhist temple is not open yet, so you will be rewarded if you wait inside. Don't forget to give money for incense.
Jokhang Temple is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It is mainly open to Tibetans in the morning and to tourists in the afternoon. You can also avoid the fares if you enter after 8:00 a.m. in the morning, and the Buddhist temple on the second floor is also open, the only drawback is that there are so manyt of Tibetans that you have to queue to visit. There is a way to avoid this. to have the consecration, and the lama will usually be very accommodating and let you go straight in. Hehe, come in and visit, but there are so many people, so I guess you can only follow everyone. . In the afternoon, I went to the Golden Dome of Jokhang Temple, which is open, but the Buddhist hall on the second floor is not open and there are few people. The Buddhist hall is relatively clean, and the lamas check the tickets more strictly. . You can decide for yourself and don't forget to give money for the incense.
Tibetan temples are generally open to Tibetan pilgrims in the morning. If you go early and follow them, the risk of escape is greater. In the afternoon, the breakout is usually stricter, but it's a problem. rare visit. , if finances permit, it is better to buy a ticket to be able tokeep a memory for yourself. You still have to pay money for incense to enter the temple.
Other questions:
There are many small beggars in Tibet. Usually they don't want much, 1 cent is enough, but when a group of kids surround you you can't do that. be able to bear it, so you should be careful when giving money; change more currency, you can exchange it for 1 cent at Tibet Construction Bank. If you don't have any loose money in the temple, you can ask the lama. to exchange it, or you can change it yourself directly at the donation office.
When shopping on Bajiao Street, it is recommended not to buy directly from the stalls. There are many small stores nearby. The quality of processing of the products is better than that of the stalls, but the prices. are slightly more expensive than on the stands., whenWhen you discuss prices, you can basically succeed if you negotiate 2-3 times the price of the goods. Tibetans pay attention to the opening price and closing price, so the things you buy will be much cheaper.
Note that there are many Hui who claim to be honest Tibetans in the store. They are very barbaric and buy and sell by force. If you don't buy after the price negotiation, they will even do it. fight with you. Rent a car with us this time. A Pekingese in Namtso was tricked by them, so remember to keep an eye out for people.
The most important point is that we should pay attention to environmental protection and not throw waste. The environment on the snowy plateau is indeed worrying. In addition to Tibetans not being used to going to the toilet, tourists. waste from other places It also brings a lot of burden to the plateAt. Piggy (my friend) and I picked up three big bags of trash when we went to Namtso Lake. The most annoying thing was that we had just finished picking up here and still threw them there, Piggy scolded them angrily, but he didn't do it. do anything, it's no use, go on your own, go aside, protect this beautiful landscape.
Bring more pencils. There are many Tibetan children on the path, and even some lamas will ask you for them. I think it's much better than giving them money and candy.
