What's a better way to travel to Tibet for the first time?

It is recommended to take the train. It is suggested to take the train and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tibet all the way.

To paraphrase a popular saying: ordinary young people take the train. The young artist went by plane. Second-rate youth ride, walk and ride. Then the difference is that second-rate young people watch the most, play the most and learn the most. Ordinary young people get what they want and get many surprises. Young literary and art workers may get high as soon as they get off the plane, stay in a hotel for three days and fly back. ② The destination is Lhasa, so flying is not recommended. First, if you fly directly to Lhasa, it is easy to rebel. If there is no plateau experience, it is best to take the train first and then fly when you leave. Second, flying will see half of the plateau scenery less than taking the train. After Golmud, the train will begin to supply oxygen, indicating that the plateau has arrived, and there are snow-capped mountains and alpine snowfields all the way. Green grasslands and wild animals can be seen everywhere. From time to time, people will exclaim that they have seen Tibetan antelopes and the like, which is beyond the flight experience. ③ The trains entering Tibet come from the following areas: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing and Chengdu. It takes more than 40 hours to sit in Lhasa from the departure station, two days and two nights. The stations in the second half of these trains are basically the same. Xi, Lanzhou, Xining, Golmud and so on. These cities are also popular tourist cities, so you can go all the way, visit one city for a day or two, and then continue walking, so that you will arrive in Lhasa unconsciously, and it is not easy to have a high reaction. Ps: The train from Golmud to Lhasa should be arranged in daytime as far as possible. This section of scenery is the most beautiful. You can choose to stay in Xi 'an for a short time in the following cities: one of the four ancient capitals in the world, not to mention. Lanzhou: There are not many scenic spots near Lanzhou. There are Baita Temple, Yellow River Railway Bridge and Lanzhou Museum in the city, which can go directly to Xining without stopping. Xining: I recommend a one-day tour of Qinghai Lake and find some people to charter a car in youth travel. There is also a Buddhist holy place near Xining, Ta 'er Temple, which is also the leading scenic spot in Qinghai Province. It can be reached by bus, and it is also very important that this scenic spot is invincible and easy to evade tickets.

2. How to live?

(1) It is recommended to live in a youth hostel and make friends with donkey.

Generally, there are international youth hostels in popular tourist cities, with beds of about 40 people, many of whom are mixed. The atmosphere will be good and it will be easy to make friends with travelers from all over the country. You will never feel lonely when you live in a youth hostel.

Whether you go alone or with several people, you should remember to let go and talk to others more, and you will gain a lot. People who live in youth travel are happy to share their experiences with others. Some people also say that youth travel is too impetuous, and everyone is showing off their things. Everyone has their own ideas, just be happy.

② If you don't make a reservation in advance, 1 1 may still have seats.

If you are in Lhasa, you need to book in advance during the peak summer vacation. Call, but the turnover of youth travel is very large. Generally, if you don't book a room, walk around 1 1, and there is a good chance of encountering an empty bed.

③ Recommended by popular youth tours.

The famous youth teams in Lhasa are Dongcuo and Pingcuo. You can see the profile of Potala Palace here, which is very emotional. If you get up early in the morning, you have a chance to see the smoky cloth palace.

You can see the side of Bugong in the dining room on the top floor of Pingcuo New Building. Every breakfast is served with a cloth palace.

If you can't find it, you can try to stay in a Tibetan family hotel.

What if you still can't find a place to live? Check your mobile phone with Google or Baidu map to see where there are more accommodation points, and then go there. If there is no map, go to a place that looks more prosperous. You can usually see some hotels when you walk. If it suits you, you will stay.

There are many Tibetan family hotels next to Jokhang Temple in Lhasa. They can go when they have no place to live. It's cheap, but the sanitary conditions are not good and it smells like butter. People who may be a little neat will not be used to it.

Also, remember to chat up more. It's important to strike up a conversation more often. A donkey friend met an elder sister just because he was washing in Dongcuo in the morning. As a result, she happened to have a car and took him along the Sichuan-Tibet line for free! ! !

3. How to play?

(1) form a clique and charter a car together.

In Tibet, except the scenic spots in Lhasa, other places are scattered, and there are few shuttle buses, so it is generally necessary to charter a bus. On the bulletin board of the youth travel service, the chartered team that will leave in a few days is generally posted. There are many, AA system, you can choose the right team to sign up.

In Lhasa, you must drink sweet tea, stay in the wall all the time, drink highland barley wine in the bar, be sure to call Tibetan sister Ajia, and be sure to say Tashide Le. This is life in Lhasa. The event wall is a gathering place for drifters. Every day from sunset to midnight, there are many people here, chatting, pretending to be pure, waiting for an affair, or waiting for death. Everyone is looking for their own Lhasa complex here.

(2) The situation in various regions of Tibet:

Naqu area: shocking snow-capped mountains and animals

The penultimate stop on the Qinghai-Tibet line by train is Naqu, which is mainly about alpine grassland landscape and animal husbandry. The famous horse racing festival is held around July and August, and the Tibetan calendar is in the middle of July. It is said that it will be very lively, with parties and performances. If we are in time, it should be fun. Feel the tough and rough folk customs and atmosphere of Tibetan horseback riding. At other times, few teams can sing this song.

Linzhi region: poetic southern Tibet

The 3 18 Sichuan-Tibet line, known as the small southern Tibet, is the main road, the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is here, and there is the holy lake Basongcuo. Of course, there are also teams that take Medog. If you take Medog, you must have a local guide to lead the way.

Generally, the farthest way here is to go to Lulang, where Lulang Linhai is located. It is a cool feeling of Swiss pastoral style, and the countryside, beautiful forests and snow-capped mountains have all drawn a beautiful picture. The Lulang stone pot chicken here is also worth a try.

Most importantly, the most beautiful scenery is often on the road. When you see a beautiful place, you might as well ask the driver to stop, relieve the depression of riding and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The team from Lhasa to Linzhi usually goes back and forth in about 5 days.

Shannan region: Let the soul be baptized here.

Shannan region is the birthplace of Tibetans, with many temples, the most famous of which is Sanye Temple, the first temple in Tibet. You don't have to believe in Buddhism to experience the profoundness of Tibetan Buddhism here, but there are some knowledge and viewpoints in Buddhism that you must understand.

Another must-see place is Lamachuo, the most legendary lake in Tibet. It is said that you can see your past life and future by this lake. Believe it or not, you need to climb mountains on foot above 5000 meters above sea level, so be prepared to catch your breath.

Shigatse region: looking up at the foot of Mount Everest

It usually takes about 3 days to go back and forth to Shigatse. Go to Yang Zhuo Yongcuo, Gyangze Ancient City, Karola Glacier, Tashilhunpo Temple, etc. A little further is to go to Everest Base Camp, and leave for Nepal-"Zhangmu Port" at the end of 3 18. Nepal visa can be processed in Lhasa. Bring your passport and two 2-inch photos on a white background for 2 days.

Yang Zhuo Yongcuo Ali: a photographer's paradise

This is a place with an average elevation of more than 4,500 meters in high-altitude areas, where the Himalayas, Gangdise and other mountains meet, and it is one of the most remote areas in China with harsh climate. Bordering Xinjiang, Kashmir and India. There are many lakes and rivers here, which are called "the source of John Wan". It is a real pure land, but the scenery here is the most shocking, and it is a paradise for photographers. There are Rinpoche in Kamiyama, Yongcuo in Ma Pan, Guge Dynasty ruins, Zadatulin, Laangcuo and Na Mu Na Nifeng.

Most people take the Ali Great Ring Road, enter from Shigatse and return from Naqu. There are many scenic spots along the way, but the cost is high. Need 15 days or more, people need 10000 or so. Due to the remoteness of the area, individual vehicles are not allowed to drive, and motorcades are organized to go.

Gangrinbo Qi Feng is the main peak of the Gangdise Mountains in China and one of the top ten most beautiful and shocking peaks in China. Tibetans and Indians regard it as a sacred mountain and think it is the center of the world, that is, the mountain that people often say.

③ Recommended gameplay for one-day tour around Lhasa:

Namtso, the nearest holy lake to Lhasa: People who can't travel far will basically choose to come here, some will go back and forth on the same day, some will stay by the lake for one night and come back the next day after watching the sunrise. It takes four hours by car. The accommodation there is basically about 40 nights. The price is more than 200 per person. Also, luck is very important. If the weather is fine, the scenery will be beautiful. If it is cloudy, it is a pool of black water.

Look at the Celestial Burial-Zhigongti Temple: Celestial Burial is a traditional funeral way for ethnic minorities such as Mongolia and Tibet. After death, people take the body to a designated place for eagles (or other birds and mammals) to swallow, thinking that they can take it to heaven.

After all, it's not every day. Friends who want to broaden their horizons can take a look. It is important to remember that this is a very serious and solemn ceremony. The celestial burial is held in the morning, so I have to go early. It seems that I have to leave around 3 o'clock. Many times, locals are not allowed to look at it from a distance, but this kind of ceremony similar to human anatomy can't be held from a close look.

Prepare items

1, basic anti-altitude drugs

The most worrying thing in this part is actually physical factors. So take some medicine, such as rhodiola capsule, antiallergic medicine and diarrhea medicine. In fact, don't worry too much about high reaction. At that time, the whole train car didn't see any high reaction. Some people feel dizzy because they have been sitting in the car for a long time, not because of lack of oxygen. They got off the train at once.

2. Simple clothes go into battle lightly

Other equipment, I personally think hat and sunscreen are necessary. Sunglasses are of little use depending on personal needs. Is the beauty across the dark brown glass perfect? Take one or two thick clothes and change clothes to meet your personal needs. A small folding umbrella, a backpack and a camera, the feeling of leaving when you say it, is enough. Traveling light, it's easier to escape when you encounter danger on the road, and you can have fun and play freely, right? So try to simplify your backpack, and leave some space for souvenirs bought on the road except necessities.
