Lhasa in December

Equipment: Travel in Tibet with as little luggage as possible, but it must be enough. The backpack is more than 45 liters, and it is enough to carry a purse with you. Keep personal belongings such as cash and certificates in your pocket.

Clothing: Due to its high altitude, the overall temperature in Tibet is lower than that in the mainland, especially in Namco and Benying of Mount Everest. From July to early September, it is basically the rainy season in Tibet, and it will clear up in mid-September, so we should pay more attention to keeping warm and not catching a cold. All the equipment, including coat, trousers and shoes, should be waterproof. In the rainy season, it is rainy at night in Lhasa and Linzhi, and down jackets, fleece jackets, fleece pants, gloves and hats are all necessary. In Tibet, you must wear hiking shoes. First, the road conditions in some places are very poor to protect your feet. Second, hiking shoes are waterproof and warm. Take your sleeping bag. Accommodation conditions in many places in Tibet are not very good. Some beds are very dirty. Sleeping in your own sleeping bag is warm and hygienic. Unless camping, otherwise, you don't need to bring a damp-proof mat, but you must bring slippers.

Food: At present, Chinese restaurants in Tibet are basically run by Sichuanese. You can spend a few yuan in a small shop for breakfast, and you can stir-fry for lunch and dinner. The price is not too expensive. There are three places in Lhasa where Chinese food is mainly eaten. One is the western suburb, which is the west of the yak bronze statue. It is not far from the Potala Palace, and it is mainly Sichuan hot pot. The second place is Niangniang South Road, next to the civil aviation ticket office, where there are also several Sichuan restaurants to try. Don't go to the hamburger fast food on this road, it tastes terrible. The third place is the section between Beijing Zhonglu Road and beijing east road Shangba Langxue Hotel and Yaya Hotel, and there are also several small Sichuan restaurants.

As for Tibetan food, Tibetan food and Nepalese food, you can go to Gangla Mei Duo Bar in Asia Hotel, Strange Cow Salon Restaurant next to kirey hotel or Maggie Ami Bar. The Snow God Palace in front of Potala Palace is one of the most upscale Tibetan restaurants in Lhasa. Tibetan food is famous for butter tea, fried lamb chops, Tibetan steamed stuffed buns, blood sausage, stewed yak meat with radish, etc. You can try it in Lhasa, but many people are not used to it.

Stay: At present, the most famous hotels in Lhasa are Balangxue, Jiri and Yaya Hotels, which are more famous than other hotels. First, they are cheap. Second, it is very convenient to find a partner to charter a car here. These three hotels are all on the beijing east road, and they are very close to each other. Relatively speaking, the Asian hotel is the most expensive, while the rooms of the Eight Gallery School are all separated by wooden boards, so the sound insulation facilities are poor, so it is recommended to have a lucky day. All three hotels have free laundry, public bathrooms and public toilets. The only disadvantage of the Eight Gallery School is that the clothes are mixed together after washing, and you can choose them yourself. On auspicious days, there is a special laundry bag, which is put into the bag by the waiter and sent to your room after washing.

ok: compared with other places, the travel expenses in Tibet are more expensive, and the transportation expenses account for a large part, especially the round trip expenses. It will be cheaper to take the local long-distance shuttle bus, but the scenic spots in Tibet are scattered and relatively far away, so it is more cost-effective for 4-5 people to charter a car together and share the fare. There are bulletin boards in the doorways of the three backpackers' hotels, and messages can be posted to contact the chartered car.

The starting price of tricycles in Tibet is 3 yuan, and the farther place is 4-5 yuan. Taxis are all from 1 yuan. Drepung monastery in Lhasa took a taxi to 2 yuan because it was far away.

This time, I went to Gyangze, Shigatse and Linzhi for 4 days. Four people chartered cars, Toyota 62 and 4 yuan, with an average of 1, 1 yuan per person. Go to Namco for 2 days, charter for 4 people, Toyota 62,13 yuan, 325 yuan per person. By May Day, the car price will go up. It will also be more expensive to go to Shigatse and Mount Everest. Drivers are included, but not included. Cars going to Mount Everest need to pay the highway construction fee according to the number of wheels. 1 yuan for each wheel, 4 yuan for off-road vehicles and 6 yuan for trucks, and each tourist has to pay the scenic spot fee in 65 yuan. Drivers must have all kinds of driver's licenses. On this trip to Linzhi, we happened to meet a car inspector. Our driver's master's licenses were all complete, but the car he bought was a scrapped car. According to Tibet regulations, it was necessary to go through the formalities of delaying scrapping once a quarter. His car just expired on September 2, and it was necessary to go through the formalities of delaying scrapping. He didn't go through the formalities. We were not aware of this regulation. After the result was found out, we grinded the captain of the traffic team for a long time before we were willing to let us go. The captain told us that most Toyota 62 cars in Tibet are scrapped cars, which we later learned. We must pay attention to this aspect. If we really don't let it go, we can only plug in some red envelopes, so that we can pass the customs.

altitude sickness: altitude sickness manifests as follows: headache, dizziness, insomnia, chest tightness, rapid breathing, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension, etc. Before entering the plateau, you should have a good rest, don't be nervous and have psychological pressure, avoid catching a cold, ban alcohol and tobacco, take American ginseng properly and eat rhodiola a week earlier to strengthen your resistance. If you enter the plateau by land, it is best to enter from the Sichuan-Tibet line or the Yunnan-Tibet line and exit from the Qinghai-Tibet line or the New Tibet line, so that it will be better to gradually adapt from low altitude to high altitude; If you fly, altitude sickness usually occurs in the evening or the next day, so when you arrive in Lhasa, you must have a full rest. Don't let your guard down just because you think there is nothing at that time. Pay attention to keep warm. You'd better not take a shower just a few days ago to prevent colds. When you arrive in Tibet, you'd better get used to it in Lhasa for one or two days before going to a distant place. This will have an adaptation process and will also provide a good state for your body in the future journey. If you have altitude sickness during the trip, you should deal with it in time, take rhodiola in time, and take oxygen in severe cases. If you have severe chest tightness, severe cough, dyspnea, slow response or even coma, you should be sent to the hospital in time or transferred to a low altitude area. It takes a long time to enter the plateau by car, and the accommodation conditions on the way are poor, and the physical consumption is high. It is necessary to prepare some medicines, water and drinks and easily digestible food in order to replenish the necessary water and calories in time and eat more vegetables and fruits. Being able to eat and sleep, and maintaining an optimistic attitude will definitely overcome altitude sickness.

drugs: cold medicine (antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, Radix Isatidis granule), trauma medicine (Yunnan Baiyao spray, band-aid, eye drops), nutritional medicine (multivitamin), altitude sickness prevention (Rhodiola capsule from Qinghai or Tibet pharmaceutical factory), gunpowder removal (Niuhuang Jiedu tablet, Xiasangju), gastrointestinal medicine (fluperacid, Modine).

other health problems: keep warm; Wear sunglasses and a sun hat; Because of the heavy dust and poor sanitary conditions on various tourist routes in Tibet, it is not recommended to wear contact lenses; Bring a wet tissue; When you first go to the plateau, it is dry, and your lips are prone to chapped and nosebleeds. Drink more water, eat more throat tablets, bring sunscreen, lotion, lip balm, nasal ointment and cool oil. In the plateau area, due to the fatigue of climate and travel, women's physiological cycle is often disordered, and they bring enough physiological and health supplies.

border card problem: you need to apply for a border card to go to some places in Mount Everest, Zhangmu, Ali and Linzhi in Tibet. It's better to apply for a border defense card at the registered permanent residence. It's more difficult to apply for a border defense card in Tibet now. You can apply for a border defense card at the household registration department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau where your registered permanent residence is located, and fill out an application form for applying for a border defense card. Fill in the reasons for visiting relatives, and go to the place, and fill in Xigaze, Ali, Linzhi and Shannan regions. The processing time is not long, and you can usually get it on the same day. Take your passport with you. You don't need to apply for a border card.

Internet cafes: The living standard in Tibet is improving day by day, and Internet cafes are everywhere. There is no problem accessing the Internet in large areas. Internet access costs are generally one hour in 4 yuan /5 yuan, but the speed of some Internet cafes is still a little slower.

Telecom: At present, China Telecom and mobile communication have no major problems in big cities in Tibet, while China Unicom has some problems.

Banks and ATMs: It's best to take enough cash with you. The ATM is in Lhasa, China Construction Bank is connected to the Internet, and the postal green card is also easy to use. However, it is recommended to take cash with you, because it is impossible to get money all the way through the hinterland. In addition, more loose money can be given to temples and to begging elderly people. Tibet does not accept coins.

customs and taboos: when visiting a temple, you should not touch the Buddha statue at will, and some women in Buddhist temples are not allowed to visit, so you should respect the Lama and the temple; Turn clockwise when turning the warp;

drepung monastery is open from 9: to 16: ; It's open to the Buddhists and Tibetans before 9: a.m. If you go there after 8: a.m., you can go in with the Tibetans, and you don't need to buy tickets, but some Buddhist temples are not open, so you will get something if you wait inside. Don't forget to donate some incense money.

Jokhang Temple is open from 9: to 16: . It is basically open to Tibetans in the morning and tourists in the afternoon. You can go in after 8: in the morning, and you can also evade tickets. Moreover, the Buddhist temple on the second floor is also open. The only drawback is that there are so many Tibetans that you need to queue up to visit. There is a way to avoid it. Tell the Lama that you want to open the light, and the Lama will usually be very accommodating and let you stride in directly. Hee hee. In the afternoon, you can go to the Jinding of Jokhang Temple, but the Buddhist temple on the second floor is closed and there are few people. The Buddhist temple is relatively clean, and the Lama is strict in ticket checking. Think for yourself and don't forget to donate some incense money.

Temples in Tibet are usually open to Tibetans who worship Buddha in the morning. If you go early, you will have a greater chance of evading tickets, while in the afternoon, you will be more strict in evading tickets. However, it is rare to go once. If the economy permits, you should buy tickets, so as to keep a souvenir for yourself. You still have to donate some incense money to enter the temple.
