What should I pay attention to when traveling to Tibet?

1. Taxi: 10 yuan departs from Lhasa, and 2 yuan is 5 kilometers away. You must negotiate the price before you arrive at the airport. It's a long way, usually between 120 yuan and 160 yuan.

2. human tricycles: Almost all car owners are Tibetans. Every kilometer in Lhasa is 5 yuan, and two kilometers is about 8 yuan. Talk about the price before getting on the bus to avoid unnecessary trouble. Then you will feel the estrangement and misunderstanding between languages, plus the embarrassing situation that Tibetans refuse to accept the truth.

3. Chartered car: There are many scenic spots in Tibet with poor road conditions and no shuttle bus. Some scenic spots can only be accessed by off-road vehicles. The price of chartered cars fluctuates with seasons, road conditions and distances. Chartered car is the best way to travel according to your own wishes. Try to find a car with complete documents and travel procedures before departure, negotiate the conditions and sign the contract before departure. Generally, 20% is paid in advance, and all expenses are settled at the end of the trip. Booking accommodation is basically at your own expense, and try not to accept accommodation provided by drivers.

4. Public transportation: The public transportation facilities in Lhasa are not as good as those in big cities, but the conditions are not bad. Tickets are the cheapest in the country, and you can take them all for one yuan. The frequency runs every 8 minutes, and some lines are slightly longer, which can lead to any scenic spot in Lhasa. However, it is necessary to clarify the bus route so as not to delay the time.

Long-distance shuttle bus: many scenic spots can't get on the shuttle bus, and there is no chance to stop and take pictures on the way. The price is cheaper than chartered car, and you can play similar games. It is very convenient to go to Changdu, Linzhi, Shannan, Shigatse and Naqu by shuttle bus. There are fewer shuttle buses in small places. In some counties, the shuttle bus runs every two days. In many cases, you have to buy a ticket in advance to take the shuttle bus.

6. Cycling: Several classic routes to Tibet are self-abuse cycling routes, and all routes can be cycled. There are few car repair shops on the road, and riding in the rainy season is very hard, which is not a tourist route that anyone can adhere to. If you miss the hotel, sometimes you can't find a place to stay at night. In this case, you'd better stay in the local construction team. Take dry food, tents and tourist maps with you when you go out. When you ride to a county town, first look at how far the next destination marked on the map is from you, and then consider whether your riding energy can arrive before dark, otherwise you will stay where you are and wait for another day.

7. Ride: You can find a ride in Lhasa and Tibet. These cars are cheaper than chartered cars and can also serve the purpose of chartered travel. Whether you can meet a car suitable for the line depends on your own chances. If you hitchhike, you may meet any car. If you are in a remote area, even a tractor should be boarded, otherwise you will waste a lot of time waiting for the next one. Maybe you'll wait all day for nothing. This kind of car costs more than the shuttle bus.

8. Traveling in groups: There are posts about traveling in groups in hotels in beijing east road and Dorson Road, and fellow travelers can be found in some restaurants. Try to meet and get to know each other before traveling with your partner, so as not to have a bad time. However, it is recommended that you don't take part in group travel. This method has no insurance, no contract and high risk factor.

9. There are many beautiful high-altitude hiking scenic spots on the plateau. Time varies from half a day to several months. Many routes are extremely difficult and dangerous, so we should be fully prepared. Travelers in poor health had better give up.

10. Banks: There are China Construction Bank, China Bank, Agricultural Bank, Postal Savings Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank in Lhasa. All business outlets can exchange foreign currency. It is generally easier to find the Agricultural Bank and Postal Savings Bank outside Lhasa.

1 1. Gas station: Every county in Tibet has gas stations under the jurisdiction of PetroChina, but China Petrochemical is rare. At present, most gas stations have added 93# and 97# gasoline, and 0 # ~-20 # oil can be added to match diesel. There are also many private gas stations in some areas, but the phenomenon of impure oil products and inaccurate measurement in private gas stations is widespread, especially in remote counties. So fill up the tank every time you refuel.

12. Repairing cars: The repair shops in Tibet are basically good at repairing off-road vehicles. If there is something wrong with the car, try to repair it in a big city before you travel. Breaking down on the road will make you feel very unhappy and affect your interest in traveling. Therefore, spare tires and repair tools are essential.

13. Accommodation: The accommodation conditions in Lhasa and various administrative offices are very good. Generally, you can find relatively clean and comfortable hotels in larger counties, and there are accommodation places in larger towns along the highway, many of which belong to small shops that integrate accommodation and food. Road classes and military stations can sometimes stay, and the sanitary conditions of many small shops are not flattering. It's best to bring a sleeping bag to separate your body from the quilt.

14. Eat: There are two main kinds of restaurants in Lhasa and Tibet, one is Sichuan cuisine restaurant and the other is Tibetan cuisine restaurant. There are also some restaurants of other cuisines in Lhasa, but not many. Most people who eat on the road can only find a relatively clean restaurant.

15. Climate: Except for Ali and no man's land in northern Tibet, the climate in Tibet is suitable for human activities all year round. The climate around Lhasa is dry and windy in winter and spring. The temperature is about 20 degrees Celsius in the daytime and 10 degrees Celsius at night. It often rains at night. So I think it's not hot in summer and not cold in winter.

16, Anquan: It is safer to travel in most parts of Tibet, and most Tibetans are friendly. But we must pay attention to the following points:

(1) Try not to catch the night road, because the road conditions are changeable and unpredictable often occurs;

(2) Try not to conflict with local people. In case you bump into local cattle, sheep and livestock, you should talk well and pay compensation.

(3) Pay attention to stray dogs and watchdog, they may attack you, and it is difficult to get a vaccine in Tibet;

(4) In places with heavy traffic (such as Barkhor Street), you should take good care of your camera, cash, certificates and other important personal belongings and pay attention to prevent robbery.

(5) If you are sick at the plateau, you should be treated in time. Otherwise, minor illnesses can easily lead to serious illnesses with serious consequences;

(6) It is easy to get lost in the area of Manigang River and Shuanghu Lake in northern Tibet. To travel there, you should find experienced drivers and tour guides, prepare road supplies and try not to travel by bike.

(7) Other insecurity comes from natural disasters, such as landslides, snowstorms, avalanches, floods, mudslides, rollovers, etc.

Eight, about altitude sickness

Altitude sickness belongs to acute altitude sickness. People are used to the changes of air pressure difference, low oxygen content and dry air caused by altitude, which is a natural physiological reaction.

The area above 3000 meters is also called plateau area. When you enter the plateau for a short time, you may have headaches, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath and other reactions. In severe cases, symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, fatigue, abdominal distension and chest tightness may occur. Check for slight cyanosis of lips and facial edema.

These symptoms are obvious in the first day or two, and then they will gradually ease and disappear. However, due to fatigue, cold, upper respiratory tract infection and other reasons, a few people may gradually get worse and develop into high altitude pulmonary edema or high altitude cerebral edema.

Severe altitude sickness, such as edema, pulmonary edema, severe cold and other symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for infusion, oxygen inhalation and other treatment, and leave the plateau as soon as possible.

When you first arrive at the plateau, you should slow down, don't walk fast, don't run, don't do manual labor, and don't overeat, so as not to increase the load on the digestive organs. Drink less and smoke less, and eat more foods rich in vitamins such as vegetables and fruits. Drink more water, keep warm, take less baths and pay attention to colds. Try not to take oxygen at the beginning, it is best to let the body adjust itself.

Most people will have altitude sickness in high school, which is normal. There is no need to worry too much. Few people have little or no response. Generally speaking, thin people adapt to the plateau climate more easily than fat people. People with severe respiratory, tracheal, heart, cardiovascular and mental diseases are not suitable for traveling on the plateau.

3. How to apply for a permit in Lhasa: The Deji North Road Armed Police Frontier Corps is responsible for applying for a permit, but it must have a temporary residence permit in Lhasa, otherwise it cannot be handled. The easiest way is to entrust a local travel agency, which can be done in about one or two working days, and a certain agency fee may be charged. If you take the new Tibet line to Xinjiang, you need to apply for a border defense certificate in Ali. First of all, you need to get the certificate from Ali Tourism Bureau and get it at the accreditation window of Ali Armed Police Frontier Detachment.

4. Foreigners and compatriots in Taiwan Province Province apply for permits: Foreigners and compatriots in Taiwan Province Province need to apply for entry permits before entering Tibet, which is generally more convenient through travel agencies stationed in Tibet or local travel agencies. This series of procedures need to be handled ten days in advance (a copy of passport and a copy of Chinese visa are required)

Be careful not to forget your ID card. Almost every county in Tibet has an identity card checkpoint. If you lose it, it will make you unable to move, and you may even stay in the local public security organ or the armed police force for a few days for free, and you will feel embarrassed and helpless. Remember! Remember!
