Isn't it good to go to Tibet by high-speed rail or plane? Why do many people drive all the way?

That's to enjoy the scenery of the trip. Tibet is only the destination, but not the whole journey. Like what? Everyone knows that the end of life is death, but should we still enjoy death while we are alive? . Travel is the same. Tibet is beautiful, but the most touching scenery is on the road. Some people choose to walk or ride in order to continue this beauty.

Driving to Tibet can prevent high rebellion. Lhasa is 3300m above sea level, most of the famous scenic spots around it are above 4000m, and several classic scenic spots in Shigatse are above 5000m. Therefore, to go to Tibet, we must first overcome the discomfort symptoms from the plain to the plateau. Choosing to drive, the altitude gradually rises, which is conducive to the body to adapt to high altitude. In Tibet, if there is no high reflection, the shooting efficiency will be high, and you will be in the mood to enjoy food and beautiful scenery.

Driving to Tibet, eating and drinking Lazar, medicines and equipment are all in the car. A car is a small mobile house. Stop and go, unconstrained style. If the car is equipped with tents and bedding, it is also romantic to find a place with excellent scenery along the way to camp. If you are a landscape controller like grumpy brother, you always have to bring a lot of photographic equipment when you go out, and it is most convenient to have a car to chase the sunrise and sunset.

The disadvantages of flying. It's almost a short sleep on the plane to Lhasa. From Station A to Mile Mile, it was a blank, and it was boring to miss the famous snow-capped mountains and ice ridges on the Sichuan-Tibet line and the Qinghai-Tibet line perfectly. When I arrive in Lhasa, I feel a little depressed when I walk lightly on the street and see that most buildings are modern. Personally, I think this kind of trip is not deep enough and easy to rebel. Two years ago, Lunchi and his party 14 people flew to Shigatse to collect the wind. As a result, except for the wheel idiot and a PE teacher, everyone else is tall. When the bus stopped at the 5000m pass, facing the majestic snow-capped mountains, no one dared to get off. Looking back, everyone was holding oxygen bottles, pale and wobbly. One of them had pulmonary edema that day. Because of the dry air and nosebleeds, he had to ask two photographers with mild symptoms to escort him to a better hospital in Lhasa.

Taking the high-speed rail is a compromise. It is a popular choice, and the cost is cheaper than the plane. There are also sets and adaptations from low to high, but there is also a lack of process. After all, the scenery outside the train window is neither real nor vivid, and there is always a smell of instant noodles in the carriage. In this environment, Reagan could not taste the sacredness of Tanggula Mountain.

I can understand the beauty of driving, but driving also has a lot of troubles. For example, it is not romantic to take the Yunnan-Tibet Highway to the Hengduan Mountains, where the gap is huge. Moreover, the speed limit of the 300-kilometer expressway around Lhasa is often limited, and that kind of waiting makes people crazy. Coupled with the danger of falling rocks and landslides when crossing the canyon in the rainy season, you will also face irresistible factors such as strong winds and heavy snow, and you must escape by luck. Actually, driving in Tibet is very risky. A car is as small as a speck on the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but many people regard these adventures as delicious life and conversation at the dinner table, with different meanings. For them, the beauty of Tibet is the compensation for all kinds of hardships.
