What are the three taboos of Tibet tourism?

1. First of all, because Tibet is a very religious area, there are many temples and pagodas there. If you go to Tibet, don't go into the temple when you see it. You must get the permission of the monks practicing in the temple before you can go in. After entering, don't tamper with the Buddha statues and scriptures, and don't take pictures everywhere. Don't smoke or spit in the temple. Don't sit in it casually, and don't make any noise when you visit. Be quiet. Because temples are very sacred places in the hearts of Tibetans and cannot be defiled.

2. Secondly, it is etiquette. If a Tibetan friend sticks out his tongue to you, it's not mocking you, but respecting you. Don't touch the heads of Tibetan compatriots casually. For Tibetans, touching the top of their heads is a very sacred etiquette, and only living buddhas and monks are allowed to touch their heads. If you are lucky enough to be invited to the Tibetan family, don't step on the threshold, and don't spit indoors and in front of others. Otherwise, it will be considered as disrespect for their behavior. In Tibetan families, men and women need to sit separately, men left and women right, and they can't sit together. If you see Tibetans sticking red cloth strips at the door, inserting branches or making a fire in front of the door, it is because there are patients or women who are giving birth at home. No one else is allowed to enter at this time.

3. Then, when many friends go to Tibet, they may all want to see the celestial burial with local characteristics. However, neither the Tibetan government nor tourism agencies encourage or support tourists to watch celestial burial. Besides, local Tibetans don't want to be seen by foreigners. The People's Government of Xizang Autonomous Region also promulgated the Interim Provisions on the Administration of Celestial Burials. It is stipulated in the regulations that it is forbidden to watch, take photos, take videos or record celestial burial activities. If you accidentally see the celestial burial, you must pay attention to your words and deeds. Otherwise, it is very likely that the family members of the deceased will think that you don't respect the deceased, which will lead to physical conflicts. If you see cattle and sheep in red, yellow and green cloth in Tibetan areas, don't drive them away at will. Because they are sacrifices used by Tibetans to worship God. If you see worshippers, you want to record this shocking scene and take some close-ups or photos. Be sure to ask their permission before taking pictures, and don't affect their worship when taking pictures.
