Qinghai-Tibet travel guide self-driving accommodation travel guide of Qinghai-Tibet line

Pony has been to Tibet three times, once by train and twice by plane. Now let me share how reasonable it is to go to Tibet by train for the first time.

First of all, the Malay shared his personal feelings about going to Tibet by train and plane:

Fly to Lhasa:

Because once I went to Tibet for only 10 days, I naturally chose to go by plane. It can be said that the scenery along the way from Chengdu is infinitely beautiful. After a short sleep, when you wake up, you are completely attracted by the scenery you saw. The endless snow-capped mountains are white and super spectacular. You will definitely feel the scenery of the snow-capped mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Tips:

What kind of travelers are suitable to fly to Lhasa: short travel time; Want a comfortable experience; If you want to enjoy the snow-capped mountains from the air, anyone who wants to meet one of the three reasons can choose a plane.

Go to Lhasa by train;

The first time I traveled to Lhasa, I chose the train pushed by many people for the first time. It can be said that I am kinder than a plane. Through the window, you can enjoy many scenic spots along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, snow-capped mountains, grasslands and Hoh Xil, so that you can appreciate the customs of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau once.

Tips:

What kind of travelers are suitable for going to Lhasa by train;

Sufficient travel time; Want to slowly adapt to the altitude of the plateau; A place for tourists who want to enjoy the scenery along the way, such as Hoh Xil and nagqu grassland (besides, train travel is more economical).

Personal summary: I personally strongly recommend that you go to Lhasa by train, especially for the first time travelers to Tibet.

So what is the most reasonable way to go to Tibet by train from Shandong?

If you want to go to Tibet from Shandong, there is no direct bus, but you can transfer. We can consider three options:

Scheme 1: Jinan-Xuzhou-Lhasa

Option 2: Jinan-Zhengzhou-Lhasa

Option 3: Jinan -Xi 'an Lhasa

The above three methods all take 46-50 hours, and even the whole sleeper is a very hard journey. If you are not an experienced backpacker, it is not recommended that you walk by train.

Pony recommends the following ways: fly from Jinan to Xining, and then take a sleeper or hard seat from Xining to Lhasa.

Why does Pony recommend this route?

1. This route can save a lot of time and is much more comfortable than the previous whole train route. The running time from Xining to Lhasa is about 2 1 hour.

As we all know, train tickets from all over the world to Lhasa often need to be robbed. If you choose to start from Xining, you will get tickets more easily, because all the shuttle buses to Lhasa will pass through Xining, which will greatly increase your chances (so don't consider such a trip in the peak season.

3. During the stopover in Xining, you can also choose the route of carpooling or one-day tour, and punch in the next stop of Qinghai Lake and Chaka Salt Lake.

Specific route planning?

From Jinan to Xining, in many cases, as long as the transit ticket is 300 yuan, free rooms will be provided during the transit, which is very cost-effective. The specific shifts are as follows:

There are many trains from Xining to Lhasa. How to choose a better one?

Because the scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is mainly concentrated in the Golmud-Lhasa section, you must choose to pass by here during the day. Therefore, if you have enough tickets, I recommend taking Z 165 and Z265, and you can basically enjoy 70-80% of the scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.

So what are the highlights along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway?

You can focus on the following places. The scenery is quite good, especially some stations have enough time to get off and punch in and take pictures:

Gangcha Station: Looking south of the platform, you can see a very vast farm. Qinghai Lake is far from the farm. If you go there in summer, you can see rape flowers and lakes.

Emerald Everest Station: This station is located in Golmud Township, Golmud City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province. There is an observation deck here, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Emerald Everest.

Wang Kun Station: This station is a bit like the Jade Everest Station. From the platform here, you can overlook the majestic Kunlun Mountain.

Tuohe River: Near this station, you can see Tuotuo River, the source of the Yangtze River.

Tanggula Station: This is the highest station on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. You can punch in.

Of course, there are many scenic spots along the way, such as Hoh Xil, nagqu grassland, Tanggula Pass and other places, all of which are beautiful, so we should pay attention to them. The following is the real scene that Pony once shot on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway:

Tips for riding on Qinghai-Tibet Railway:

Every car of the train to Lhasa will be equipped with an instrument to show the altitude. You can have a look if you are interested.

After Golmud, the conductor will prompt that there will be oxygen supply, so if there is altitude sickness or adverse reaction, don't worry. Be sure to ask the conductor for feedback. Generally speaking, there won't be any big problems, so don't worry. Especially in Tanggula, remember to drink more water and eat more fruits.

The above pony shared the most reasonable answer about how to travel to Tibet by train from Shandong. I hope I can help you.

2. Qinghai-Tibet line self-driving accommodation strategy

The Qinghai-Tibet line from Xining to Lhasa 1900km, including expressway in Golmud and G 109 from Golmud to Lhasa. Going to go on road trip can be arranged for 4-5 days. Generally speaking, the Qinghai-Tibet line has a high altitude and few supporting facilities, especially the 800-kilometer section from Golmud to Naqu.

4-day route node reference: Xining-via Qinghai Lake-,Chaka Salt Lake, Delingha Golmud (one night), Kunlun Mountain National Geopark, Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, Tuotuo River (one night), Tanggula Pass, Naqu (one night), Namtso, Sheep. Needless to say, the conditions in Xining and Golmud. Golmud can stay at Zhefei Hotel, a cost-effective hotel in the urban area. In Guo Kang, you can try lamb chops for dinner. Very good. The hardest part of the Qinghai-Tibet line is from Golmud to Naqu. There are no ice springs, Tuotuo River, Tanggula Mountain and Amdo along the way, and most of the accommodation conditions are average. It is recommended to stay in Tuotuo River for one night and stay in 3 18 self-driving camp. The conditions should be the best in the surrounding area, and the surrounding food is mostly Sichuan food. Naqu Hotel has more choices and better conditions. I stayed at the Scala Hotel, with a good price/performance ratio, and most of the food around me was Sichuan Restaurant.

It only takes one day to get to Lhasa via Namtso. If you want to spend more time in Namtso, you can also stay in the scenic spot for one night. However, the accommodation conditions in Namtso are average. Basically, they are prefabricated houses, and there is no separate bathroom. You can also choose to stay in Dangxiong County after visiting Namtso. Dangxiong's accommodation is relatively better.

3. Detailed Raiders of Qinghai-Tibet road trip

It depends on your specific situation.

The Qinghai-Tibet line is the section of National Highway 109 from Xining, Qinghai to Lhasa, Tibet, with a total length of nearly 2,000 kilometers. The altitude of this road is relatively high, with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters and the highest point reaching 4,700 meters. The whole line is paved with asphalt, and the road surface is very good. It is best to prepare some anti-altitude sickness drugs and control the speed when driving on this road. Its 2000 km journey is more suitable for 3 to 5 days.

4. Free travel in Tibet

Prepare to play in Tibet in winter.

Winter in Tibet is about-10 degrees to MINUS-10 degrees, and it is sunny and very warm during the day. In most parts of Tibet, thick down jackets are enough.

Except for a few scenic spots that cannot be visited due to heavy snow, most scenic spots can be visited.

A must-see in Tibet: a guide to the first trip to Tibet

Some places in Tibet need border cards.

Although many Tibetan donkey friends are keen to go, not all places can go casually, and some places need border guards to go.

The following areas need to enter the border card:

Xigaze area: Zhongba County, Saga County, nyalam county, Dingri County, Kangma County, Yadong County, Gamba County, Dingjie County and Jilong County; Mountainous areas: Cuona County, Zilong County, Luozha County and Langkazi County; Linzhi area: Milin County, Langxian County, Chayu County and Medog County; Ali: Pulan County, Zada County, Ritu County, Gaer County; If you have a valid passport and apply for a visa to leave the country, you can show your passport instead of a border card in some places.

Handling methods of Tibetan frontier defense documents:

There are two places where you can apply for border defense, one is the public security bureau where your household registration is located, and the other is the Tibet Frontier Defense Corps.

It is best to ask the local travel agency in Lhasa to entrust it. Four people only need to provide the original ID card, which is valid for one month.

7. The best road map of Qinghai-Tibet road trip.

The Qinghai-Tibet line has endless snow-capped mountains, desolate Gobi desert, vast grasslands and Tibetan antelopes.

On the first day, Namco went to that song.

The next day, Amdo went to Tanggula-Hoh Xil-Kunlun Mountain-Golmud.

The third day Golmud-Chaka Salt Lake-Qinghai Lake.

On the fourth day, Qinghai Lake-Sun Moon Mountain-Ta 'er Temple-Xining. On the Qinghai-Tibet line, the speed should not be too fast. Pay attention to the sheep and cattle blocking the car, prepare the barometer, and do a good job in resisting high-altitude conflicts.

8. Qinghai-Tibet free travel strategy fee

Round trip, save a little, if I don't buy anything, I will leave Chongqing in the off-season, for three days, each person 1500 or so.

I suggest you go in the off-season, which can save a lot of fares, tickets, hotel money and local food. Secondly, it is not crowded.

Going to Lhasa in the off-season in winter, the price of the plane is similar to that of the train. It costs three or four hundred dollars a trip. If you take the train on the road, you can see endless snow, which is very beautiful.

This hotel is only about 100 yuan, and it is still in the center of Lhasa.

Visit Potala Palace in Off-season. Tickets are directly free. After making an appointment with your ID card, you can go in on the same day. Make an appointment one day in advance in the peak season and you can queue up the next day.

It's a local dish, basically the same as the whole country. It's up to you.

So when you are young, you must go to Lhasa and feel the beauty of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

However, you must be prepared before you go. Don't walk blindly. The altitude there is high, so be prepared for altitude sickness. The sun is super strong during the day and it is very cold at night, so the material equipment in this area should be prepared.
