What are the taboos and precautions for traveling to Tibet?

Tibet is a mysterious land. The natural environment here is extremely special and the changes are quite different. Because it is a plateau area, the climate, environment and natural ecosystem are unique, including the cultural atmosphere here. Here are some taboos and precautions for traveling to Tibet.

1, Magnisi

This kind of thing is very common in Tibet. For example, in mountainous areas, intersections, lakes or riverside areas in Tibet, we can almost see altars made of stones and slates.

Now everyone knows that this kind of thing is called Manidun, and these are not simple stones. They are all engraved with six-character mantra, eye-catching, idol-shaped or various auspicious patterns, representing the blessings of the Tibetan people.

When you see this Mani stone, don't step on it, let alone think it's beautiful. Just take it down and play.

Because it is for people to pray, if you take it down, Tibetans will think that you have brought them bad luck.

2. prayer flag

Attention, everyone. It is common to see it at every intersection of mountains and rivers, temples or families, that is, colorful flags printed with scripture patterns and strung on a rope.

Don't think it's just a show. This is a ritual in Tibet. These little flags are called "Ronda" in Tibetan. This is for prayer and peace.

It's the same as the Mani stone mentioned above, so don't step on or fiddle with these prayer flags when we see them.

Step 3 kowtow

I believe many friends will see many devout Tibetans kowtowing on their way to Tibet. These people are mainly believers in Lhasa, and they will always kowtow to Lhasa from the place of departure.

Attention, everyone. In this case, don't pick up your mobile phone or camera to take a sneak shot, because it is impolite.

If you meet rest believers, we can give them more food and water, which is a good thing.

Among the religious temples in Tibet, there is a holy place of Buddhism in Tibet-Lhasa, which is the largest gathering place of Buddhism in China.

Therefore, you have to experience the local Buddhist culture when you go to Lhasa. In addition to the famous Potala Palace, there are other Jokhang temples, Jokhang temples and Sera temples in Tibet. Many tourists will choose to take the time to have a look, but they must pay attention to these things before entering.

That is, girls can't wear too bright clothes, nor can they wear skirts into temples. After entering the temple, they should take off their sunglasses and hats. Even if you take pictures, you can only take pictures outside the temple. If you take photos in the temple, once found, the camera tools will be confiscated.
