How to go to Tibet is better, and when is the best time to travel to Tibet?

Now is a very good time to travel to Tibet, but if you want to go to Tibet, you must first determine the mode of travel, but there are many ways to choose the mode of transportation. For example, trains and self-driving trains all fly, but it is also possible to fly.

How to go to Tibet by train

There are trains from Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Chengdu and Chongqing.

Shanghai-Lhasa, Z 164, 47 hours and 27 minutes, hard sleeper 793.5 yuan.

Guangzhou-Lhasa, Z264, 53 hours and 5 minutes, hard sleeper 865 yuan.

Beijing-Lhasa, Z2 1, 40 hours and 40 minutes, hard sleeper all the way to 720 yuan.

Chengdu-Lhasa, Z322, 36 hours 18 minutes, hard sleeper 627.5 yuan.

Chongqing-Lhasa, Z223, 35 hours and 30 minutes, hard sleeper 627.5 yuan.

In addition, almost all trains entering Tibet will pass through Xining and Lanzhou, so you can also fly to these two destinations first, and then enter Tibet by train.

This can save some time, and at the same time, the beauty is not discounted. After all, when the train enters Tibet, the beautiful scenery is basically in the second half.

The train is a relatively cost-effective choice, and the altitude gradually rises, which makes the discomfort of altitude sickness relatively light, while enjoying the scenery along the way. It is one of the main choices for many young people to enter Tibet by train.

As for the shortcomings, if you don't take a shower for two days in a row, you won't have such a good accommodation environment on the train, and the air in the carriage is also general, which will make people very tired. This will still discourage many people.

Moreover, if it is the peak season, it is as difficult to grab a train ticket (sleeper) in Tibet as it is in Spring Festival travel rush.

Enter Tibet by car

There are mainly six routes to Tibet by car. It is suggested to take G3 18, G3 17, G2 14 for the first self-driving, which is easier and the scenery along the way is better.

Chengdu has two lines to Tibet, G3 17 and G3 18.

The northern line G3 17 mainly takes Dujiangyan, Ganzi, Changdu and Naqu. The elevation of the northern line is relatively high, and there are many points over 4000 meters, but the scenery of the northern line is magnificent.

Passing through the Han, Qiang, Hui, Manchu, Mongolian and other ethnic groups, as well as Seda, Zheluo Temple, Siguniang Mountain, Jiabu Snow Mountain and other soul-shaking destinations. It is said that 3 17 is a humanistic landscape avenue, and countless Tibetan Buddhist temples, Yongzhong Benjiao, Dege Seal Academy and Songgemani Stone Classic City along the way are also the gospel of religious lovers.

In G3 17 rainy season, the highway geological disasters in Sichuan are serious, especially in miyaluo and Marcand. But the road from Ganzi is dry because of the overall climate. With the road construction in recent years, the road conditions are relatively good. At the same time, because most self-driving vehicles are on G3 18, there will be many fewer vehicles on G3 17, so it is also a good choice.

The southern line G3 18 is the most famous road in Tibet.

Mainly take Ya 'an, Kangding, Litang, Bomi and Linzhi. The southern line has relatively good road conditions and moderate altitude. In the middle, you can go south from Litang to Daocheng Aden, and then Linzhi is also a good destination, especially during the Peach Blossom Festival. Spring in Tibet begins with peach blossoms in Linzhi.

Kunming enters Tibet

G2 14 Yunnan-Tibet Line, Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangri-La and Deqin, with beautiful scenery, spans many famous Asian rivers such as Jinsha River, Nujiang River and Lancang River, and is also a famous three-parallel area. The whole journey passes through Hengduan Mountain area, with great altitude difference and rich scenery, especially Shangri-La and Meili Snow Mountain. This route is more mature and the road conditions are better, which is suitable for students who come to Tibet for the first time.

Kunming also has a third inspection line for entering Tibet, the thicker one below.

It used to be a difficult road to Tibet, but now it has been rebuilt and renamed the New Yunnan-Tibet Passage, which is much more convenient to drive. However, due to the complicated geological conditions in the rainy season, there is still a great risk of landslides and mudslides, so it is necessary to proceed cautiously. The ice fork line goes west along Nujiang Grand Canyon, passing through Gaoligong Mountain, Bingzhongluo and wuli village ... all these are good tourist destinations.

Xining enters Tibet

G 109 Qinghai-Tibet Line. The advantage of this line is that the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is built along this line, and you can see many scenery parallel to the train. But at present, the Qinghai-Tibet line is the main logistics transportation route in the mainland and Tibet, with many large trucks. If there is an accident, the traffic jam will last for dozens of hours. At the same time, because the Qinghai-Tibet line was built on the plateau frozen soil, it was constantly ravaged by large trucks. At present, the road conditions are relatively general and the road surface fluctuates greatly.

On the whole, it is not particularly recommended to choose the Qinghai-Tibet line by car. In addition to the above shortcomings, the scenery along the way is single, and there are few counties and towns that can stop.

Xinjiang enters Tibet

G2 19 Xinzang Line, from Kashgar, Xinjiang to Lhasa, is a magnificent and desolate highway. The average elevation of most sections is above 4,500 meters, and the air is thin and desolate, which is the most difficult way to enter Tibet. G2 19 is a border war preparation highway, so you will see PLA soldiers maintaining the highway. In addition, the accommodation conditions of the new Tibet line are relatively poor. Generally speaking, this road is not very recommended for friends who come to Tibet for the first time. On the one hand, it is because the conditions are more difficult. On the other hand, both Kashgar and the Shiquan River in Ali are far away from the conventional Tibetan scenic spots, and it takes thousands of kilometers to navigate by themselves.

Aircraft entering Tibet

There are five major civil airports in Tibet, namely Lhasa, Linzhi, Ali, Shigatse and Qamdo.

But generally, except those who fly to Linzhi, most of them will fly to Lhasa. If there is no direct flight in your city, it is a relatively convenient choice to transfer to Lhasa through Chengdu and Chongqing.

The problem of aircraft entering Tibet is that it is easy to cause altitude sickness. If it is the peak season, it is basically a full-price ticket. Tourism in Tibet is very expensive, mainly because of air tickets.

I suggest you fly into Tibet, after all, it is convenient and time-saving. As for whether this statement will be rejected, this mainly depends on life.

I will fly to Linzhi during the Peach Blossom Festival and Lhasa at other times. Most trips to Tibet start and end in Lhasa.

One advantage of flying into Tibet is that it can overlook the peaks and glaciers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of 10,000 meters. As far as the flights from Chengdu and Chongqing to Lhasa are concerned, the routes cross the Hengduan Mountains, and dagu glacier, Gongga Mountain and Yala Snow Mountain can be seen in fine weather.

The flight from Lhasa to Shiquanhe Airport, crossing the whole Ali area and overlooking "one measure after another" from the air, is an excellent experience. Such a visual feast may also be another reason why the route is more expensive. I once chatted with a photographer who signed a contract with China National Geographic magazine. He said that he takes dozens of flights from all over Tibet every year just to see amazing scenery on the plane.

Choosing the right time every June-10 is the peak season for traveling to Tibet, and air tickets, hotels and destination tours are very expensive. This is normal, too. Northwest and Midwest, other days are too cold.

But even in the peak season, there are suitable times and unsuitable times.

It is suggested to avoid July and August, not only because of the conflict with the summer vacation, but also because July and August are the rainy season in Tibet, and there is a lot of rain, so the chances of completely seeing lakes and snow-capped mountains are very small.

The price/performance ratio is not high, and I still can't see anything. Why bother?

May, June and September, 65438+ 10 is more suitable. If you like ice and snow, you can actually go in June 1 1 and June 65438+February, especially in Ali in winter, which is simply a fairy tale world.

In the dead of winter, many holy lakes in Tibet will be completely frozen, and the ice layer is thick enough to continue driving, which is also a very rare experience.

Of course, once you avoid June-10, you will find that the air tickets and hotels in Tibet are so cheap. For example, even in J Hotel, Lhasa, in the off-season, the price is often 999 for two nights. The same is true for round-trip air tickets to Lhasa, which are basically 1 discount-1.5 discount.

Choosing a suitable destination Generally speaking, when you go to Tibet, you will basically go to Lhasa, Linzhi, Ali, Shigatse and Shannan. ......

Lhasa

Generally speaking, going to Tibet is in and out of Lhasa, so you can't avoid this city, and you don't need to avoid it.

The correct way to open Lhasa is to bask in the sun, drink sweet tea and visit temples. Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, drepung monastery, Sera Temple, Gandan Temple, Jokhang Temple and Zayeba Temple ... There are more than 200 temples in Lhasa, which are worth visiting.

In addition, the best hotels, restaurants, cafes, art centers and markets in Tibet are all in Lhasa. It is not too much to arrange 2-3 days.

For example, the picture below shows the Zhongguan Art Center in Lhasa. Isn't it beautiful?

Ali

Ali is the most beautiful place in Tibet. You will never get tired of seeing sacred mountains and lakes. Everything is perfect except the high altitude, poor accommodation and a little hard conditions.

Rinpoche, Holy Mountain, Holy Lake, Mabangyongcuo and Ranagetso Lake, the mysterious ruins of Guge Dynasty and the colorful desert of Zhongba are all in Ali.

Nyingchi

There are many people in Linzhi at the Peach Blossom Festival every year. The altitude here is low and the tourism development is relatively mature. Besides Lhasa, there are the best and most hotels, and then the airport.

Linzhi can make a connection or brush a tourist destination.

Of course, it is difficult for Linzhi to deal with air tickets, not hotels, at the Peach Blossom Festival every year.

Spring suits Linzhi.

Shigatse

Shigatse is the second largest city in Tibet and an important scenic spot in the Himalayas. Seeing the Himalayas is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of Shigatse. There are five peaks over 8000 meters in Shigatse, except the most famous one in the world, Mount Qomolangma, Mount Luozi, Mount Makaru and Mount Zhuoyou.

In fact, Shigatse does not recommend going in summer. You may not see anything in summer and rainy season.

South of the mountain

Shannan is known as the "birthplace" of Tibet, with magnificent mountains and rivers and mysterious mountains and lakes. There is Yang Zhuo Yongcuo, one of the "three sacred lakes" in Tibetan areas, and Kulagang Day, one of the "four sacred mountains".

There are also Sanye Temple, the first temple in Tibet, and Yongbulakang, the first palace in Tibet.

It will be fun to go to Shannan.

How to arrange the itinerary Generally speaking, Lhasa will arrange 2-3 days; Then Lhasa-Linzhi-Lhasa can be arranged for 3-4 days; Lhasa-Shannan-Xigaze-Lhasa can be arranged for 3-4 days; If you go to Ali, it will take a long time. Generally, it takes 10- 15 days. If you have a holiday, go ahead. Tibet is an addictive place, you can't understand it without going to five or six hundred and seventy-eight times. Those who have never been there once can be arranged for next year.
