How to play in Shannan? Best time to travel to Shannan

Tibet Shannan is a very good place. In fact, many people don’t know Shannan, but this attraction is really worth a visit. Let’s take a look at the guide about Shannan.

How to play Shannan

Today I will summarize some specific ways to play Shannan. It can be roughly divided into two days, four days and seven days.

1. The two-day tour mainly takes Ramatso as the representative attraction and visits the scenery along the Jiacha line.

2. The four-day drama mainly focuses on Sexiang, Pumu Yongcuo and Zhegucuo. Four days is a small cycle, and there is no turning back.

3. Seven days of travel is an in-depth experience. This line, focusing on Pumu Yumcuo, Kajiu Temple, Baima Lincuo, and Lebugou, went around the entire Shannan area in a big circle, smoothing out most of the scenic spots in Shannan. The specific lines of the three gameplays are introduced in detail below.

Traffic conditions in Shannan

The traffic conditions in Shannan are mainly asphalt roads, and there are also some dirt roads in the southern region. Therefore, if you are going on a self-driving trip, it is recommended that you can travel smoothly in the northern region. However, in the south, self-driving tours are not recommended due to complex and changeable road conditions, many dirt roads, and occasional mudslides and landslides in summer. Although the scenery is beautiful, safety comes first. So if you plan to go deeper in the south, it is recommended to join a local group. After all, the drivers in the local group are very experienced and know the road conditions very well. If you want to hitchhike, my personal advice is to abandon the idea. After all, transportation is underdeveloped and some places are deserted. Still a bit risky. Although traveling is an experience, it is not an adventurous and painful experience.

Accommodation and medical conditions in Shannan District

The accommodation conditions in Zedang Town (now Shannan City), where the Shannan District Administrative Office is located, are good. There are several four-star hotels, but the conditions in the county are worse than those in Linzhi and Shigatse. Basically, they are standard rooms in ordinary hotels with average environment. In case of peak tourist season, you may not be able to book a room because the number of hotels is limited. Everyone should be prepared to travel to Shannan. The medical conditions are average, so it is recommended that you prepare some commonly used medicines and simple medical equipment in advance.

About the border defense permit

Shannan area is located on the border, and many places require border defense permits. Everyone must prepare in advance before setting off.

Counties that require border defense certificates: Luozha, Zilong, Cuona, Cuona.

The best time to travel to Shannan

Since Shannan is close to Lhasa and the climate is basically similar to Lhasa, March to October every year is the best time to travel to Shannan. It will rain at night. People traveling should pay attention to road conditions to prevent natural disasters such as mudslides and landslides. Starting from June every year, the azaleas in Lebugou Scenic Area bloom. It is recommended that you try to choose this time to go to Lebugou. Rapeseed flowers bloom around August. The peach blossoms in Nanshan bloom around April every year, a little later than Linzhi. You can refer to these time points to make your own travel plans.
