Guide to Annual Visit Reservation of Potala Palace

In the afternoon 12, I took a taxi back to the hotel. I plan to visit Potala Palace tomorrow. I had to queue up early in the morning to buy tickets. I can only sleep for more than four hours tonight.

Because tickets for Potala Palace can't be booked online, you need to queue up in person to buy tickets, and traffic is restricted every day. The tour route is divided into 1 line and 2 lines. If you are late, you can only choose Line 2 instead of entering the main hall.

All in all, in a word, we have to get up early and queue up tomorrow anyway. I was psychologically prepared, but I didn't expect the specific process to be so hard.

Get up at 4: 30 in the morning, wash briefly, and take a taxi with a young man to the Potala Palace to queue up to buy tickets. A person can have four numbers, and there are three ladies in the same company besides the driver. Therefore, the arduous and glorious task of queuing to buy tickets is naturally incumbent on us two men.

Lack of sleep, really sleepy, can not help but feel sorry for myself. The wonderful ticketing system of Potala Palace is really puzzling! What the fuck age is it? Now is the Internet age. Is it still so primitive here? It is the only 5A scenic spot in China that cannot be booked online.

We ran to the wrong place and came to the gate in the middle of the cloth palace. In the dark, the door was closed and there was no one there. I'm glad we arrived first, so we couldn't book tickets.

I waited for more than ten minutes and I felt something was wrong. Are you in the wrong place? My companion also said that he must be in the wrong place, heading west, ah! There is a long queue here, yes! Finally found the right place!

We hurried to the end of the line. There are about forty or fifty people in front of us. It was about 5: 30 in the morning. After a while, a Tibetan boy came over and said that there was someone in front and he could take us to jump the queue. He asked him to be a tour guide for free. After entering the palace, he will explain to us that everyone 50 yuan.

When we think, we can! It's a good deal. Anyway, we definitely need a tour guide. So, I followed him to the front to jump the queue and began a long wait.

Slowly, I realized that dozens of people in front were tour guides. Some people line up at midnight 12 just to make room for tourists and let them be your tour guides. Think about it, it's so hard to be a tour guide in Bugong!

With the arrival of tourists, tour guides keep pulling people into the team. At first it was a single column, and gradually it became two columns, three columns and four columns.

The line is thicker and thicker, and it is more and more crowded until it is filled with water. The trouble is that there is a parking lot in the team. After dawn, the car owners kept driving away, and the people in line had to make way for their cars to get out.

The crowded team is getting more and more chaotic, coming and going! Getting on the bus finally made everyone lose patience. Someone shouted, don't give up! As a result, everyone gradually refused to give way, and the car once confronted the crowd.

During the period, there were quarrels from time to time because of jumping the queue, and there were quarrels because of bumps. The order was quite chaotic, and the scene was once out of control. But before 8 o'clock, no staff kept order.

Queue up at Potala Palace to buy tickets.

This is really a painful experience. I have been standing since 5 o'clock. Lack of sleep, no breakfast. It's nothing. You can carry a backpack, a SLR camera, thick clothes and so on. And I feel that the backpack is getting heavier and heavier, but it is difficult to turn around. My legs and feet are sore and numb. Finally, I can't even move my feet. This smell is really unforgettable. It's too difficult. I definitely don't want to go through it again!

Gradually, I reacted. Why did we come so early? It is also possible to come at seven or eight o'clock, just like the tourists who come later, find a tour guide to jump the queue, and that's it! Later, many tourists even stood in front of us

Regret!

After 8 o'clock, finally a staff member came to maintain order, let the team stand in order, and then slowly move forward. At half past nine, I finally came to the window and got the reservation number with my ID card. There is no need to pay here. Enter the cloth palace, swipe your ID card, and pay with the reservation number after entering the main hall.

Standing for four or five hours is really sleepy and tired! Waist and leg ache, butt ache and general weakness. Go to the square across the street and find a bench. Anyway, lie down and rest.

I don't want to see the cloth palace. I have a strong impulse to go back to the hotel to sleep! I don't know, it's too difficult to buy tickets for Potala Palace!

Just to remind you, tickets for Potala Palace are sold by time. Based on this, my suggestions are:

1. After receiving the reservation ticket, stay in the scenic spot if you have nothing to do. Don't look at the time on the ticket. It is still early. Because after entering the gate, you can bypass the building below the cloth palace first, and then queue up at the second ticket gate. So, when you check in, the time is similar.

Don't come to the second check-in point too early. Some people are anxious! I don't look at the buildings below. I have to cut in line to drive forward, but when I get to the ticket office, I can't. It's not time for you to buy a ticket. Wait in the back.
