Why do more donkey friends like to travel to Tibet instead of Xinjiang?

Since the topic is about the choice of "donkey friends", let's put aside ordinary tourists and analyze it from the outdoor level.

Tibet and Xinjiang are very different from the Central Plains in geography, scenery and cultural beliefs. Both places are very attractive and worth visiting.

The reasons that lead travelers to part ways and go to Tibet more need to be comprehensively analyzed from four aspects: topography, physical fitness, consumption and culture.

Let's look at Xinjiang first:

In fact, many "high-end" donkey friends prefer to go to Xinjiang, but the population base is not large. The so-called "high-end" here does not mean consumption power and social level. It is your physical strength and outdoor experience as a donkey friend.

For this part of people with strong outdoor ability, the Wolf Tower Line, Xiate Ancient Road and Kanas No Man's Land crossing route in Xinjiang are very attractive.

However, these outdoor routes are too difficult for travelers with weak physical fitness and insufficient experience in outdoor activities.

As long as you look at several large outdoor forums in China, you can find that most ordinary donkey friends yearn for these activities in Xinjiang. If some of my friends go there, they will be proud. But for ordinary travelers, these routes are too dangerous and they are too willing to go.

Of course, there are places in Xinjiang that are not so difficult, but the scenery is equally beautiful. Unfortunately, these places cannot be said to be unique. Similar landforms and scenery can be found in the Gobi area of Xinjiang where ordinary donkey friends can go, and in Gansu, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia.

Compared with Xinjiang, for ordinary travelers, these places are closer, the transportation costs are cheaper, the surrounding cities are more developed, travelers can get better services when they go, the cultural differences are small, and the daily diet is more in line with our tastes. With so many comprehensive advantages, Xinjiang's cost performance is not so high.

In addition, everyone is not clear about the security situation in Xinjiang. Based on the above, the number of donkey friends has been small.

Look at Tibet again:

Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a very rare high-altitude plateau landform in the world, which can be compared with it on the earth. It is another similar high-altitude plateau area-Pamirs in the western Himalayas.

It is connected with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The very special landforms of the two places are rare not only in China but also in the world.

There are 14 snow-capped mountains over 8000 meters in the world, most of which are in the Himalayas in Tibetan areas. If the Pamirs are added, it can be said that 8000 meters of snow-capped mountains are all concentrated in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Pamirs. ?

China is in the north of the Himalayas, and Nepal is in the south. Tibetans live on both sides, but they are called Tibetans in China and Sherpas in Nepal.

The special landform of the plateau not only attracts a large number of domestic hikers, but also attracts hikers from all over the world, especially backpackers with strong self-help ability, who want to visit here.

In addition to the advantages of landform, from the cultural level alone, the totally different religious beliefs between Tibet and our Central Plains region are also one of the reasons that attract many people to go.

The barrier of the plateau makes us know very little about Tibet, which is full of mystery, and inspires many people's curiosity and desire to explore.

Although the air in Tibetan areas is thin and the oxygen content is low, it is not difficult for ordinary travelers. Rhodiola rosea, which can prevent high reaction in advance, and oxygen bottles that can be bought everywhere make the friends confident.

There are also a large number of businessmen from Sichuan, Henan and Jiangxi who open shops, restaurants and hotels in Tibet, which can provide travelers with a familiar eating and shopping environment. Such a convenient consumption environment will naturally attract more friends.

Based on the above reasons, the number of donkey friends traveling to Xinjiang and Tibet is increasingly different.
