What you need to know and prepare for traveling to Lhasa

When you come to Lhasa, you should first look at the Raiders or Baidu Search, so that you can know in advance. Actually, coming to Lhasa is a little different from what you think. Pay attention, especially to people with altitude sickness. Bian Xiao collected some notes of other people's previous trips to Lhasa. There are some things you must know.

: What you need to know

1. You can go to the Tibetan calendar year and visit various temples in winter. There are buses to major temples at the entrance of Mount Everest, which is very convenient. Many shops are closed in the off-season in winter, so there is no need to queue up to experience those shops with bad reputation.

2. Be sure to go to the Tibetan teahouse called "Guangming Gangqiong" near Balang Street for sweet tea. It is recommended to stay in a small hotel around Dongcuo, Pingcuo and Balang School, which is cheap and clean. When staying in a youth hostel, the walls must be plastered, and buying jewelry in Jokhang Temple Square should not be taken seriously.

3. Be sure to go to the yogurt shop next to Potala Palace. Super delicious, sour.

There are not many restaurants around Potala Palace. If you want to experience the local life, you can go to the back foot of Potala Palace to experience the food life of worshippers after the visit. Those simple roadside stalls, such as bean jelly, Tibetan noodles and sweet tea, are the basic daily diet of pilgrims. The price is cheap.

5. At seven o'clock in the morning, I will line up with Tibetans at Jokhang Temple, I will go to Yanghu and Namco, I will go to Lhasa River to bask in the sun, I will go to Tibetan ancient temple to drink sweet tea and eat vegetarian buns!

6.Maggie Amy's price is slightly pitted and her taste is not used to it. If you eat Tibetan food, you can try Tibetan family banquet. The Nepalese restaurant on the second floor of Lhasa Cinema is called Namasted, which is the head office. The branch is located in Chijiangrang Hotel Park, which is an ancient Tibetan courtyard. It has a good feeling and taste.

7. drepung monastery suggested going there. The temple built on the mountain gives people a sense of tranquility and peace. You must eat Sichuan food in Lhasa. That's great.

8. It is recommended to go to Yanghu and Namco. You won't know until the scenery is beautiful. You can choose carpooling and arrange your time freely. Need to be reminded that there are basically no real goods in Barkhor Street. They are all small commodities in Yiwu. Just buy one or two for fun.

Precautions and preparation

1. Eating some sugar and drinking some salt water can alleviate altitude sickness. When you go, you can take the train to see the beautiful natural scenery. July and August are good times, just wear a sweater, it will be cold sooner or later.

2. Potala Palace should queue up early to buy tickets, which will be better in the off-season. The interior of the palace is complex and meticulous, so you should walk slowly up and down the steps. It is best to wear high heels and comfortable flat shoes. You can enter the cloth palace without a guide, just listen to others. Don't wear a hat, take photos, step on the threshold, etc. The tour should be completed within 1 hour. If you go to Everest, it is recommended to rent a local car and driver. This road is steep.

Most people in Lhasa, as long as they don't do strenuous exercise such as running, there will be no altitude sickness. Altitude sickness is also related to fear. You can take rhodiola a week in advance, don't overeat, don't drink and smoke, and drink water properly to keep warm and protect yourself from the sun.

4. When shopping, don't take the things on the stall too casually, if you don't buy them.

5. Don't take photos of the sheep near Namco, you need to pay.
