Visitors are advised to prepare two medicine boxes, one large and one small, the big one in the bag and the small one with you, just in case. Lhasa is dusty and the sanitary conditions are not as good as those in the eastern region. It is best not to wear contact lenses. If you meet dogs or sheepdogs on your trip, please don't provoke them. They often chase strangers crazily. Because Lhasa is located in the plateau, some tourists will inevitably have altitude sickness when traveling. I suggest you take part in aerobic exercise before going out to improve your quality and prepare some medicines. If necessary, you can carry an oxygen bag, pay attention to preserving your physical strength during the journey, and arrange the rest and sightseeing time reasonably. Don't overeat at the plateau, eat reasonably, eat more fruits and vegetables and foods rich in vitamins to better adapt to the plateau environment. The weather in Lhasa has changed a lot, so you need to bring some thicker clothes. Don't enter the scenic spots you don't know at will. Everything is based on your own safety, and you should always go hand in hand as much as possible. If you want to buy tourist souvenirs, most of them can be bargained, but it is recommended to buy them in a regular supermarket. There are many fakes. It is forbidden to take photos in Potala Palace after check-in. Some temples in drepung monastery can take photos, but they have to pay a certain fee.

I hope you can get to know them in advance, and it is best not to talk about race and politics when traveling. There are many armed police in Lhasa. Don't take photos of these people, or they will be forced to confiscate their cameras or delete photos.
