Things you need to know when traveling to Lhasa

Introduction: When traveling in Lhasa, it is better to know some little things than not to know. Take a look at the practical information that Xiaoyi has obtained from the people before. It may be able to help you during your trip to Tibet.

1. In winter, you can go to Tibetan New Year and visit various temples. There are buses to major temples at the entrance of Everest Weiye, which is very convenient. Many shops are closed during the off-season in winter, so you don’t have to wait in line to experience those famous but unsatisfactory shops. (@sleepwalking unsuccessful lazy insect)

2. Be sure to go to the Tibetan teahouse called Guangming Gangqiong near Balang Street to drink sweet tea. It is recommended to stay in small hotels around Dongcuo, Phuntsog and Balangxue, which are cheap and clean. When staying in a youth hostel, you must write all over the walls, and don’t take it seriously when buying jewelry in Jokhang Temple Square. (@July 3 sunny)

3. Be sure to go to the yogurt shop next to the Potala Palace. It’s super delicious and sour. (@2黄phant)

4. There are not many restaurants around the Potala Palace. If you want to experience local life, you can go to the foot of the mountain behind the Potala Palace to experience the food of pilgrims after the visit. Life. Those simple roadside stalls? Bean jelly, Tibetan noodles, and sweet tea are the basic daily diet of pilgrims. The price is cheap. (yan-x-yan)

5. Queue up at seven in the morning to follow the Tibetan people on pilgrimage to the Jokhang Temple. You must go to Yanghu Lake and Namtso, you must go to the Lhasa River to bask in the sun, and you must go to Canggu. Drink sweet tea and eat vegetarian steamed buns in the temple!

6. The price of Maggie Ami is a bit deceptive, and the taste is not what you are used to. If you want to eat Tibetan food, you can try the Tibetan Family Banquet , the Nepalese restaurant on the 2nd floor of Lhasa Cinema is called Namasede, and it is the main store. The branch is located in the Trijiang Lajang Hotel Park. It is an old Tibetan courtyard. It has a great feel and good taste. (@Lhasa Mountain Eagle)

7. It is recommended to go to Drepung Monastery. This temple built on the mountain gives people a quiet and peaceful feeling. You must eat the Sichuan food in Lhasa, it is particularly delicious. (@North-facing window)

8. It is recommended to go to Yanghu Lake and Namtso. You will only know how beautiful the scenery is. You can choose to go by carpool and arrange your time freely. What needs to be reminded is that the things on Barkhor Street are basically non-genuine products and are just Yiwu small commodities. Just buy one or two for fun. (@武红宇吧) A reminder when traveling to Lhasa

1. If you have altitude sickness, eating some sugar and drinking some salt water can relieve it. When you go there, you can take the train and see the beautiful natural scenery. July and August are good months, just wear a sweatshirt as it gets colder in the morning and evening.

2. Queue up to buy tickets for the Potala Palace as early as possible. It will be better in the off-season. The buildings inside the palace are complex and detailed, so walk slowly up and down the steps, and it is best to wear comfortable flat shoes. You can enter the Bu Palace without a tour guide, just listen to what others have to say. You are not allowed to wear hats, take photos, step on the threshold, etc. when entering the palace. The visit must be completed within 1 hour. If you go to Mount Everest, it is recommended to rent a local car and driver, as the road is dangerous. (@ Pure World only)

3. Most people in Lhasa will not suffer from altitude sickness as long as they do not do strenuous exercise such as running. Altitude sickness is also related to fear. You can take rhodiola rosea one week in advance. Do not overeat or drink or smoke. Drink appropriate amounts of water and pay attention to keeping warm and protecting yourself from the sun. (@兰诺诺S)

4. When buying things, don’t just pick up the things on the stalls and look at them casually, if you don’t want to buy them. (@_____7t)

5. Don’t take photos of the sheep beside Namtso. You need to pay.
