How to travel in Tibet

It is recommended to prepare some items when going to Tibet: 1. Large-capacity thermos (due to altitude sickness, you must drink more hot water constantly, but except for some border checkpoints along the way, there is no place to replenish hot water. Water, some border stations still have water and power outages, so you must bring a large-capacity thermos bottle during the chartered journey) 2. Gloves, hats, masks (it will be more convenient if you can operate the LCD screen. The wind is very strong in Tibetan areas, Hats and masks can protect the head very well) 3. Baby warmers (in winter, please buy a baby warmer that you have used on the market that is very good at generating heat and bring it with you. It is recommended to buy the best baby warmer on the market, don’t buy those other brands) Yes, not hot at all) 4. Filling hot water bottles (five-star recommendation, very important. Rechargeable hot water bottles are not recommended. First, the portable type is not as convenient as filling the hot water bottles. Second, you may accidentally encounter a power outage) 5. Cash (except for Lhasa and Shigatse, It is a relatively prosperous area in Tibetan areas, and Alipay and WeChat are used more frequently. In other places, it is recommended to prepare some cash. In addition, the signal in Tibetan areas is not good, and no network is the norm. No signal is not unusual. Tibet does not accept coins) 6. Facial mask (ultraviolet rays are more serious in Tibetan areas, so a facial mask a day is a must for girls) 7. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and fresh-keeping bags. 8. Avoid strenuous exercise after entering Tibet. 9. Another point is that women are not allowed to enter the Potala Palace wearing skirts. There are many ways to travel in Tibet. Different ways of preparing are different. Taking rhodiola rosea one week in advance, cold-proof and warm clothes, and various introductions to Tibet tourism, especially precautions in Tibetan areas, are a must. Not to mention mobile phones, ID cards, and money. Then. The preparations are different for group tours, independent travel, trains, planes, and self-driving. I’ve never been there, but I plan to go there sometime [face covering] 1. Prepare a travel backpack, not a suitcase. Because some roads in Tibet are very rugged and it is impossible to drag a suitcase, so in order to facilitate the journey, it is a wise choice to carry a durable, strong and large-capacity travel backpack. 2. Prepare sunscreen, because Tibet is a plateau area with more ultraviolet rays. In layman's terms, it means that Tibet is closer to the sun and more susceptible to the effects of ultraviolet rays. So sunscreen is a must. 3. Prepare disposable oxygen tanks and glucose mixture. Both of these items are easy to buy but can go a long way. Many people are not accustomed to the thin air of the plateau and suffer from altitude sickness. At this time, glucose mixture and disposable oxygen tanks can help the body recover. 4. Prepare electrolyte solutions and various commonly used medicines. Although Tibet is a place with cultural connotations, the environment is indeed harsh, and it is easy for people who go there for the first time to suffer from various diseases. At this time, electrolyte solutions and various drugs are needed for emergency treatment. 5. Prepare some thick clothes. Tibet is a plateau area with a relatively large temperature difference. Sometimes it feels very warm during the day and very cold at night, so be prepared with thick clothes and put them on when the weather gets cold. 6. Prepare compressed biscuits and mineral water. For those who plan to travel in depth to Tibet, it is very likely that they will encounter a situation where they have nowhere to go, and in this case they have to prepare their own food and water. Here we recommend compressed biscuits that are small in size and high in calories, as well as mineral water, which can reduce some of the weight. 7. Have your camera ready. It would be a pity to come here without taking any photos, or just taking some low-quality photos, so in the end it is strongly recommended to prepare a good camera to record the beautiful moments during the trip. It's a pleasure to be asked to answer this question. I personally also enjoy traveling to Tibet. When it comes to Tibet, I believe that many tourists who have visited Tibet have recorded with their cameras the blue sky and palpable clouds, the vast grasslands with herds of cattle and sheep, and the simple smiles and cheerful singing of the simple Tibetan people. Beautiful faces that sing Tibetan songs and countless scenic spots... Tibet has attractive natural and cultural scenery. Tibet carved by nature is even more majestic and stunningly beautiful. Taking your family to Tibet in your free time is really a different physical and mental enjoyment~ Regarding traveling to Tibet, I personally think that the first thing you need to pay attention to is the weather. I think May-October is the best travel season.

First of all, from the weather point of view, Tibet has strong sunshine and a large temperature difference between day and night. You can prepare more sun-protective skin care products and cold-proof clothes, bring a hat, sunglasses and some sun-protective products, and pay attention to sun protection and warmth. In addition, the climate here is also relatively dry. You can apply some lip balm if necessary. At the same time, you must eat as little as possible and drink more water to replenish moisture. The second thing is that you can bring some anti-altitude sickness medicines, and at the same time, you must treat it with a calm mind and overcome your own altitude sickness. After all, you will really regret not going to such a beautiful place once in your life. It will also make you feel better after going there. Understand life well and understand yourself better. After playing, it will definitely give you a richer experience and feelings. The third suggestion is to book an inn in advance and plan your travel route. You can learn about the story culture of tourist attractions in advance, and at the same time, you must respect the local culture. Because when we travel, we are not only seeing different scenery, but also learning and understanding the cultural customs of other places. We must respect Tibetan culture, learn some Tibetan etiquette, feel the simplicity and enthusiasm of the Tibetan people, and at the same time, we must live in friendship with the Tibetan people. In addition, friends who like photography can bring cameras, telescopes and other equipment to take some beautiful pictures. I wish everyone a happy time! (If you have the opportunity, you must take your family to experience the beauty of Tibet for yourself) [Yeah] [Yeah] [Yeah] This depends on where you go in Tibet, how many days you plan to stay there, and when you plan to go. If you just go to Lhasa and the scenic spots around Lhasa, the preparation is very simple. First of all, there are two types of clothing and shoes when going to Tibet: winter and summer. If you go in winter, you have to wear thicker clothes. A jacket alone may not be enough, so you have to wear a down jacket. If you go in summer, you also have to wear a jacket at night. The temperature difference between morning and evening is big. During the day You may wear short sleeves, but you will have to wear a thick coat at night. In summer, it is recommended to wear a warm and cold-resistant jacket, and bring an easy-to-take-on jacket when it gets hot at noon. For shoes, just wear comfortable sneakers or outdoor shoes. They can be high-top or low-top. Low-top shoes are also acceptable in and around Lhasa. Wear longer socks. It will be cold if you expose your ankles. If you want to go hiking, wear high-top shoes. Help. Documents: You must bring your ID card. When you go out in Tibet, you will often check your ID card. When you enter a park, go to Bu Palace Square, or take a bus on the highway, you must always be prepared to take out your ID card. There is also a student ID/senior ID/retirement ID/disabled ID. Bring whatever ID you have. If you plan to drive by yourself, be sure to bring your driver's license. When going to Mount Everest, some areas in Ngari require a border permit. You can apply for it at Lhasato Travel Agency, which is very convenient. If you want to go to Nepal, remember to bring your passport. Visas can be applied for in Lhasa. Sun protection and anti-drying. The sunshine on the plateau is strong, and it is easy to get tanned and sunburned, so the higher the level of sun protection, the better. Wear a parasol, sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, upper-sleeved tops, and trousers, all arranged. In addition, Tibet is also very dry, so moisturizer and lip balm are also necessary. Drink plenty of hot water and bring a large thermos cup. You will never regret it. In fact, you can buy everything in Lhasa. It doesn’t matter if you don’t bring them with you in advance. You can buy them all when you arrive in Lhasa. The shopping malls and supermarkets are very busy. It is recommended to wear more masks, firstly for hygiene and secondly for sun protection, haha. It’s hard to say how to prevent high reflexes. It doesn’t mean that people who exercise and exercise and are in good shape will not have high reflexes. It doesn’t mean that people who are not in good health will definitely have high reflexes. There is no rule about whether they have high reflexes or not. It all depends on fate! Moreover, the reactions of hypersensitivity range from mild to severe. Mild ones include dizziness, and severe chest tightness and vomiting require oxygen inhalation to survive. It is recommended to stop strenuous exercise one month before entering Tibet, live a quiet life, and reduce the burden on the body. This will reduce the chance of high reflexes. Food Tibet is not just about butter tea and tsampa. It's very modern now and has everything. There are many Sichuan restaurants in Lhasa. Those who like spicy food don’t have to worry about running out of food. Those who don’t like spicy food can also eat other light things, so you don’t have to worry about what to eat.

There is no need to bring snacks or other special items there, they are all available in the big supermarkets in Lhasa! Last but not least, don’t worry about forgetting something and not bringing it with you. You can buy it in Lhasa. Just a little more reserve than the planned budget will suffice! The rest of the things are just as prepared as when traveling to other places! And most importantly, bring a good mood!

Finally, I wish you a happy journey and full of expectations! Attached are a few photos taken in Tibet, the original photos without filters! 1. You can carry out appropriate exercise (such as swimming, long-distance running, etc.) two or three months before departure. Adequate exercise can greatly reduce the degree of altitude sickness. 2. In addition to necessary physical preparations, travelers should bring some American ginseng and soak it in water every day before departure. When arriving in Tibet, they can buy some plateau rhodiola locally and take it to enhance their ability to resist altitude sickness. 3. Remember to drink more tea and replenish sugar in time on the plateau. Another phenomenon of altitude sickness is insomnia. If insomnia occurs as usual, it will definitely affect your trip the next day. Experienced people recommend the most effective method. Just take some aspirin before going to bed. From personal experience, if you have a headache and insomnia, taking Fenbid is also effective and can help you fall asleep easily. 4. When traveling on the plateau, you must have a peaceful mind, move as gently as possible, and avoid shouting and getting excited when you see the beautiful scenery. 5. Remember not to eat too full at higher altitudes, and do not eat too fast. Some travelers will be out of breath when going to the toilet or going out, so it is even more important to be reasonable and restrained. In addition, altitude sickness can be delayed. Everyone should carry a sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen or lipstick with them when setting off. Ultraviolet rays from the plateau can damage your skin in just a short time. Also remember that you must actively prevent colds in plateau areas, because colds in high altitude areas often lead to pulmonary edema. What’s more important is that you should neither fear nor despise altitude sickness. Psychological cues are very important. Maintaining a good mood at all times can also greatly reduce the degree of altitude sickness. I'm happy to answer your question. I have been in and out of Tibet seven times. I have taken trains and planes, and most of them were self-driving. What do I need to prepare to enter Tibet? First, all kinds of documents must be complete. Tibet is the place where documents are checked most frequently. After one trip, your driving license casing will basically be torn. ID cards, driver's licenses, and driving licenses are all essential. Before departure, you must also apply for a border pass at the place of residence. Otherwise you will struggle. Second, personal protective equipment must be complete. Tibet has strong sunlight, large temperature difference between day and night, and unpredictable climate. Things you need to bring include sun hats, sunglasses, sun protection clothing, jackets, thermal clothing, outdoor sports boots, sunscreen, lip balm, dust-proof gauze, cold medicine, rhodiola oral liquid, glucose oral liquid, etc. If you are traveling by car, you should also prepare car repair and towing tools. If you want to set up a tent outdoors, you should also prepare cold-proof sleeping bags and tents. Third, the travel strategy should be sufficient. Generally speaking, don’t make your daily itinerary too full. The pace in Tibet is very slow and travel is very leisurely. It is necessary to arrange some adequate and reasonable rest according to your physical condition. In terms of food, food and accommodation, except for some remote counties, the whole of Tibet has greatly improved, but the price is slightly higher. Finally, keep a good attitude. Tibet is vast and sparsely populated, the distances between scenic spots are relatively long, and the material supplies along the way are not very sufficient. The local folk customs also need to be admired and respected. On the road of self-driving, try to help others who can help you. After all, getting to know Tianlu is also a kind of fate! Okay, that's all my help. The best travel season in Tibet has arrived. Hope you have a wonderful trip. I am happy to answer your question. First of all, you must do a good job in preventing cold and warmth. After all, Tibet is a plateau with a large temperature difference between morning and evening. Secondly, if you have altitude sickness, you must bring a gas bottle to ensure safety. Thirdly, Try to minimize camping in the plateau area. If possible, find a hotel. If it is not possible, try to sleep in the car because there are many wild animals. I hope it can help you. I am happy to answer your question: What do you need to prepare in advance for traveling to Tibet? What suggestions? This is my personal experience, I hope it can help you. I went to Tibet in August 2019.

1. Every time I travel, I like to prepare various strategies, including how much to spend, which scenic spots to go to, which means of transportation to take, which hotel to stay in, what food to eat,,,,,,,. The difference this time is that I want to go to the plateau. , there are a lot of things to prepare, for example: Rhodiola rosea, American ginseng, 999, Bupleurum chinensis, glucose, etc. that are used to deal with high side effects. I had eaten Rhodiola rosea for a short period of time before going, but in the end I found that the prepared things had little effect. . 2. We took a bus from Qinzhou to Wuxu Airport. The first flight was from Wuxu Airport to Mianyang Airport, and the second flight was from Mianyang, Sichuan to Lhasa Gonggar Airport. We waited for three or four hours on the way and waited for the flight. When I landed at Gonggar Airport, I felt fine. After the bus entered the city center, I felt that it was taking my time. I got off the bus and walked less than 100 meters. I really had a headache. There was a hotel at the intersection just outside the station. , no matter what, the name of the hotel is Tibet Holy Hotel. The price is 468 yuan, which is a bit painful. I haven’t stayed in such a good hotel in many years. The hotel is very quiet. There is a humidifier and air conditioning. I couldn't open it and was really dizzy, so I asked my classmates to go down and ask. I learned that all hotels here don't turn on air conditioning in summer and can only turn it on in winter. There seems to be regulations. When the real feeling came, it was still at three or four in the morning. My mouth was dry and I had a splitting headache. At that time, I thought that I had spent money to buy the pain. If possible, I really wanted to escape all night. I didn't get much rest until the morning. Later, I went to Linzhi to meet a friend. She also stayed at the Holy Hotel at the end of the year. She said that the price was only more than 200. I guess we were cheated, but I think it was worth it. Fortunately, I didn’t prepare a place to stay in advance. It really didn’t matter. I can't hold on even after walking a few steps. 3. It was originally planned to go to the Potala Palace the next day, but after having breakfast and resting for a few hours, I had a severe headache. The hotel I stayed in the night before was too expensive. For a "poor person like me" "Come to me", I immediately changed hotels the next day and found a new hotel across the street. After checking in, I spent a difficult day in the hotel. I didn't think about tea and didn't dare to think about food. It was extremely uncomfortable to leave the pillow. My classmate also had high reflexes, but it was not as serious as mine. Seeing that I was too serious, he went out and bought me two bottles of something similar to energy water and a few pills for two to three hundred yuan. After drinking it, I slept for a few hours, and my headache was relieved a little bit. My classmates could no longer hold back their excitement. After seeing that I was slightly relieved, I ran to see the Potala Palace alone. When I came back, I went outside to enjoy the breeze. , the dizziness was much better. I believed it at the time, but what happened later was that the more I blew my head, the more dizzy I became. However, at this time, the pain in my body had been overcome by the beautiful scenery outside. I thought I was okay again, I was okay again. 4. I just left the hotel and I still felt tired and dizzy after walking a few steps. I heard from my friends that it would be much better to buy oxygen. Almost every store sells it. I spent 50 yuan on a bottle of oxygen. The boss said that it can be inhaled two hundred times. After one or two puffs, I really feel that my fleeting life is reborn in an instant. After a long time, I am like a rain of sweet rain. I took two more puffs and found that this product is particularly effective. Compared with the other medicines I bought, It was not expensive, and I was reluctant to smoke it. I didn’t use it up until I came back. I was stopped at the security checkpoint on the day I returned to the airport. At eight o'clock in the evening, we finally reached the foot of the Potala Palace Hill
