Matters needing attention in Tibet tourism What should be paid attention to in Tibet tourism?

1. Are there many star-rated hotels in Tibet? Are you nervous? Is it expensive?

There are many star-rated hotels in Tibet, such as Lhasa and Xigaze. There are forty or fifty star-rated hotels in Lhasa and twenty in Shigatse. Except for the golden week in May, November and August, the accommodation is very tight, and other times are no problem. There are fewer star-rated hotels in other places, but there are relatively few tourists to travel, so there are few cases of "tight" housing. Because Tibet is located in the plateau, the tourist season is obvious, and it is basically closed in the off-season, so the room rate in the peak season is relatively higher than that in the mainland, about 30% more expensive, and the room rate may double in some or some time.

Generally, each bed is around 15 yuan in the off-season and around 30 yuan in the peak season. The higher prices are Asian hotels and snow hotels, mostly foreign self-help tourists. During the peak season, the accommodation in Balangxue Hotel, kirey hotel and Asian Hotel is relatively tight, so you can check in at other hotels.

There are message boards in Balangxue Hotel, Kerry Hotel, Asia Hotel, Long Da Juesa Hotel and Yuxue Hotel. Careful observation reveals many like-minded partners. In addition, the backpacker's dining bar diagonally opposite the Baron Snow Hotel and the frontier fortress prospect opposite the Kiri Hotel also provide message board service. The tourists who go to those places are mostly tourists who love self-help travel.

7. What are the road conditions in rainy season? Do you want to bring rain gear?

The rainy season in Tibet is mainly concentrated in June, July and August. In the rainy season, the road conditions are very bad and unpredictable. On the first day, the road may be washed away by a heavy rain at night. The next day, there may be no way out or a detour. But don't worry, there are many road maintenance workers in Tibet, and they are all helped by local garrison troops (some troops are set up to protect local road sections). Generally speaking, as for rain gear, if you are traveling by yourself, such as hiking, mountain climbing, cycling and exploring, it is recommended to take your coat, rain pants and rain boots before you leave. If you are in a travel team of a travel agency, you generally don't need to bring rain gear, because most of the rain in Tibet is at night, and it basically clears up in Wan Li during the day, and there is a tour bus to follow you all the way, so don't worry too much about this.

It is easier to go to the police station where the household registration is located with a personal ID card. Maybe some police stations have never been run before. You can go to the liaison office of Tibet Tourism Bureau to get a travel certificate first, which will save you some trouble. The specific handling method is: write a certificate in the unit stating that you went to a certain (as many as you need to write) border place for tourism reasons, prove that you are a person of the unit and stamp it, and then go to the police station where the account is located to handle it.
