Matters needing attention in Potala Palace tourism

Potala Palace is the most sacred palace in Tibet and an ancient building with a high reputation in the world. Every year, it attracts a large number of tourists to visit the charming style of the sacred Potala Palace. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.

1, Ticket Purchase The Potala Palace has a very complicated climate due to its unique geographical and geomorphological features, so tourists here will adjust their itinerary according to the seasonal changes, which means that there are many tourists in the peak season and few tourists in the off-season.

So it is difficult to buy tickets in the peak season. Try not to buy scalper tickets, as the price will be many times, even as high as 1 thousand, mainly in July and August. So it is more reliable and cost-effective to suggest that you join a tour group at this time.

If you want to visit the Potala Palace, you must have two tickets: a reservation ticket and a ticket. Reservation coupons need to be reserved four days in advance. The official channels are free, and the words "free" are also marked on the free tickets. Reservation coupons need to be collected with ID cards.

I spent 400 yuan on each ticket and got a reservation for the next day. August is the peak season for tourism in Tibet. The legendary ticket is hard to find and expensive, mainly in booking tickets.

After entering the Potala Palace with a reservation ticket, there is a ticket booth next to the corridor where you continue to visit. This is a real ticket, and the price is 200 yuan RMB per person. Therefore, if the time is properly arranged, only the ticket of 200 yuan per person can enter the Potala Palace.

It is suggested that the one-day tour should not include Jokhang Temple. Tickets for Jokhang Temple can be bought at will, not far from Potala Palace. Go to Jokhang Temple and visit the famous Barkhor Street in Lhasa. The circle outside Jokhang Temple is Barkhor Street, where you can enjoy many Tibetan handicrafts. Special reminder, just enjoy it! ! !

Dangerous goods, including lighters and knives, are not allowed, even drinks and mineral water are not allowed. It's for sale, so don't bring it in with luck. The security of Potala Palace is much stricter than other places, and all four doors should be checked.

The route to Bugong is not complicated. Just follow everyone. There will be many other tour guides in it. Just listen to it.

2. Before carrying things, it is said on the Internet that food is not allowed. After the actual security check, it was found that there was no requirement to prohibit eating, and the requirements for lighters were strict. There is also a small shop on the Little Square above.

3, the toilet problem The toilet problem is more mysterious on the Internet. For example, there is only one toilet with a drop of 60 meters, which will scare you. What is the actual situation? There are thousands of tourists every day, so make up for it yourself.

4. It is forbidden to take pictures when Xiao Fang walks halfway up the mountain. But it can be filmed outdoors. In the places where the Lingta, the relics and the Buddha statues are stored, the light is dark and there is no professional technology and equipment, so it is difficult to shoot the effect.

5, security issues The aisle is narrow and the crowd moves slowly. Sometimes there are stairs, so be safe. Especially the place where Songzan Gambo and Princess Wencheng lived in those years, only two people can visit at a time.
