Intimate advice on taking the elderly to Linzhi.

1, the only way from Chengdu to Linzhi is the west section of National Highway 3 18, which is the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. The altitude is high and the roads are dangerous. Debris flow, mountain torrents, landslides and falling rocks will all be encountered. So this road is called the road of death, and it is said to be the most dangerous road in the world. But the scenery along the way is very beautiful, such as Kangding, xinduqiao, Litang, Ranwu, Shadang Mountain and so on. It takes about ten days by car to Linzhi and half a month to Lhasa.

2. If you don't want to take risks from Sichuan-Tibet Highway, go to Lhasa by train or plane, and then go east from Lhasa to Linzhi. Linzhi is the lowest altitude area in Tibet. After arriving in Lhasa by plane or train, it is more appropriate to go to Linzhi for a few days to adapt to the plateau environment and then return to Lhasa.

3. Suggested itinerary: Take a train from Beijing to Lhasa, then visit Linzhi for 3 or 4 days, then return to Lhasa, visit Lhasa for 2 or 3 days, then visit Namco 1 and 2 days (stay one night), and then return home from Lhasa. Shigatse is far away and the road is extremely poor. If you want to go, you should be prepared to suffer. It is still very cold to go to Shigatse in April, and the road is covered with snow and ice, which is even more difficult to walk. The best season in Tibet is July and August, and it is a little cold in April. It is estimated that there will not be many tourists.
