Is Tibet suitable for winter tourism?

It is suitable to travel to Tibet in winter. Looking for the warmth of winter, Lhasa is refreshing and free to walk through the combination of Tibetan culture and nature. Give yourself a reason to travel to Tibet in winter. In winter, the scenery of Tibet Plateau is peculiar and magnificent, the sky is completely blue, and there are no clouds in Wan Li, which makes the snow-capped mountains and grasslands more natural. A donkey friend who once traveled to Tibet in winter said that winter is the best season to watch the world's 15 peak-Nangarbawa Peak. Tibet has entered the dry season, especially in winter. It is dry, partly cloudy and the sky is particularly blue. If you are lucky, you can see the true face of Nanga Bawa Peak. Similarly, Mount Everest in winter is also a good time to watch, and I am fortunate to see the beautiful scenery of Mount Everest. It is also the case that winter in Tibet has become the most anticipated season for professional photographers.

There are many small details about going to Tibet in winter.

1. The winter temperature in Lhasa is 15 degrees during the day and about-5 degrees at night. The temperature difference is large, so you need to wear winter down jacket. Pay attention to cover the quilt at night and keep warm.

2. The scenery in Tibet in winter is not much worse than that in summer, except that Namco was frozen by heavy snow and the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon dried up. Winter is suitable for the Bomi Line in Linzhi, with low altitude and abundant oxygen. You can enjoy the winter scenery in Tibet with a drop of 2,000 ~ 3,000 meters. In addition, the Mount Everest route in Shigatse is also the choice of many winter tourists. In winter, there are few clouds on Mount Everest, which is a dry season, so there are more opportunities to see the flag clouds on Mount Everest. Qiyun is a milky white smoke cloud, floating on the top of Mount Everest like a flag, which is very artistic. In addition, some Buddhists also choose to go to Shannan Temple in winter to see Yongbulakang in winter.

3. The necessary drugs must first have anti-altitude sickness drugs. Because the winter temperature in Tibet is low and the oxygen content in the air is lower, altitude sickness is more likely to occur. It is recommended to start taking rhodiola half a month before departure. In addition, there are specific drugs for treating colds, cough candy, anti-inflammatory drugs, vitamins, gastrointestinal drugs and so on. After arriving in Lhasa, local pharmacies sell drugs such as Rhodiola, Gaoyuankang and Gaoyuanning. Continue to take it, effectively reducing the high reaction.

4. Bring sunglasses or sunglasses. Sunglasses or sunglasses are essential for going to Lhasa to bask in the sun in winter, which can protect against sun and be cool.

The sunscreen bag contains sunscreen, lotion and lip balm. In winter, the air in Lhasa is particularly dry and the sun is strong, so it is most important for both men and women to protect their faces. In addition, snow blindness (eyes are stimulated by reflected light from snow for a long time) and frostbite are unique diseases in winter plateau, which also need to be prevented.

6. Shooting skills. In winter, the sunshine on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is strong, and the contrast between the light-receiving surface and the shadow surface of the scene is great. If you shoot people in the backlight, you can fill the light with a flash. It is best to shoot plateau scenery before 9 am and after 5 pm.

7. Wear small details. Wear down jacket with thermal underwear, pants can choose thick jeans. It is enough to bring thick warm pants, casual shoes or sneakers to Everest. Gravel roads are common in the journey, and hard mats do not hurt your feet. More suitable for out shoes, the hard bottom of high-rise buildings on Mount Everest.

8. The snow scene in winter in Tibet is a good scenery. However, snow, ice and water reflect strong sunlight. Exposure of eyes to this environment for too long on sunny days will lead to snow blindness. Snow blindness can make vision disappear for a short time. If this happens, wash your eyes with medicine, go to the dark or cover your eyes with an eye mask, and ice with a cold towel. Reduce the use of eyes and don't apply hot compress, because high temperature will aggravate the pain.

9. When going to Tibet in winter, it is recommended to consult the local travel agency in Tibet online in advance. Generally, mainland travel agencies have stopped tours. In winter, trips to Tibet are not made every day. Make an appointment in advance to ensure that you can send a delegation on time and settle down in a hotel in Lhasa. At the same time, it is also recommended that self-help tourists find a good partner online in advance and make an appointment to rent a car. After all, there are few tourists in winter, so make travel plans in advance.

10. There will be some festivals in winter in Tibet, such as Tibetan New Year, Spring Festival and New Year's Day. You can consult relevant information online. After entering Tibet, it is another taste to spend the holidays with local Tibetan compatriots. At the same time, pay attention to the winter tour promotion activities launched by the local government and can participate selectively. Such as Lhasa Kite Festival, Yangbajing Hot Spring, Lulang Bicycle Tour, etc.
