How to save money when traveling to Tibet from Xinjiang

Everyone knows that spending money buys time and saving money wastes time. As long as you make a preliminary estimate, you will know that 10 days is not enough.

First of all, it takes 3-4 days to take a train from Xinjiang to Lhasa and back, and you have to make sure you can buy a train ticket. If you take a car, you can save some money by traveling from Urumqi to Dunhuang to Golmud to Lhasa, but it will take more time.

If you simply travel around Lhasa, it will take at least 3-4 days, with a daily budget of at least 300 yuan per person (including food, accommodation, transportation, tickets, etc.). Of course, you have to be very economical.

Lhasa urban attractions include: Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Street, Drepung Temple, Norbulingka, Tibet Museum, Sichuan-Tibet-Qinghai Highway Monument (alongside the Lhasa River), Serasa, Ganden Monastery (a little far away, it takes more than half a day to go back and forth). If you only choose to visit the key points, it will take at least 2 days.

Others such as Namtso or Yamdrok Yumco, the fastest round trip takes 1 day.

The southern Xiangshan area (Yumbulakang, etc.), Nyingchi area (Yarlung Zangbo River Gorge, etc.), Shigatse area (Everest, etc.), Ali area (Zada Tulin, Guge Kingdom, etc.) need to be updated. Much time and expense.
