What is the best month to travel to Tibet?

Most parts of Tibet have high altitude and large temperature difference between day and night. In winter and early spring, the climate is dry and cold, the wind and sand are heavy, the oxygen content in the air is obviously lower than that in summer, and many areas and road sections are covered with snow and ice. So April -65438+ 10 is the ideal time to travel to Tibet. July-August is the rainy season in Tibet, and there will be mudslides, landslides and swamps. In some sections, this will make it impossible for vehicles to pass. Among them, it is more serious to enter Tibet along the Sichuan-Tibet highway, from Lhasa to Linzhi area in eastern Tibet, and from Lhasa to Ali along the north-south line. Explorers by car or on foot should try to avoid the rainy season, and choose May, June, September and 65438+ 10. If they ride bicycles, they can go to Qinghai in August and arrive in Tibet at the end of the month.

2. Tibet entry procedures

In Tibet, if you want to go to border counties, that is, counties bordering foreign countries, you must apply for border passes, such as Zhangmu, Ali, Everest, Medog and Milin. In principle, these documents should be handled at the tourist's residence, but they can also be handled at the police station where the hotel is located in Lhasa, which takes 3-4 days and sometimes requires photos. So take four one-inch bareheaded photos with you. If the travel time is tight, you can go to various travel agencies and restaurants in Tibet to apply for border permits, which can provide various services for tourists, or you can go to the "Tibet individual reception desk" opposite the snowy hotel for half a day.

3. Tibet equipment

A. A backpack with toiletries, sun visor, sunscreen, sunglasses, etc. The sunshine is strong on the plateau. When outdoors, you should pay attention to wearing sunglasses and sun visor and take protective measures.

The temperature in Tibet is very low in the morning and evening. Generally speaking, the temperature will drop by 6℃ every time the altitude rises 1000 meters, so clothes should be kept warm. Even in summer, mainlanders must prepare sweaters, thermal underwear and so on. The temperature is relatively low in winter, so we should pay more attention to cold and antifreeze. But it doesn't matter to strong people. In Lhasa from June to 10, 65438, I often wore a pair of shorts at night. Don't imagine Tibet as too mysterious.

C There is no Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Tibet, so its passbook and peony card are meaningless here. It is best to take the passbook of the Agricultural Bank of China with you when traveling. The Agricultural Bank of China has savings offices all over the country, and the more remote the place, the more popular it is. Postal savings here are also national deposits and withdrawals.

Prepare some small gifts, such as candy, mechanical pencil, etc. For children from ethnic minority families. You will be more popular.

E. prepare some change of 10 cents. There are many children begging for money in Tibet.

F if you go to Tibet in the rainy season, you should bring rain-proof clothes. Generally, outdoor equipment stores sell it, and Lhasa also sells it, but the price is much more expensive than Beijing and other cities. The two backpacking girls I met on the road arrived in Lhasa, only to be sent by my family.

G. Take some medicine, mainly for relieving pneumonia and colds. Rhodiola is a medicine for treating altitude hypoxia. You can also take two bottles. The best and most practical medicine for treating hypoxia is glucose solution, a box of five, which can be injected or taken orally. The glucose I drank when riding the Qinghai-Tibet Line and crossing the Tanggula Mountain was very effective. You can take an oxygen bag. Although 10 minutes without smoking will finish, it can give people a sense of spiritual security (but please note that once inhaled, it will produce dependence).

"When traveling to Tibet, you should pay special attention not to drink too much." Wang Hongbin said that under the condition of hypoxia at high altitude, the detoxification function of the liver decreased and the brain tissue was deprived of oxygen. Drinking a lot of alcohol will directly damage liver cells. Due to the stimulation of alcohol, the heart rate is accelerated, and the stroke volume per minute of the heart is correspondingly reduced, thus aggravating the degree of hypoxia in brain tissue. In addition, alcohol will aggravate diseases such as cerebral arteriosclerosis and coronary arteriosclerosis caused by hypoxia.

Wang Hongbin said that tourists should eliminate their fear of the plateau. Although everyone has different adaptability to the plateau environment, as long as they are healthy, most people can adapt to the plateau environment quickly. Taking some drugs to relieve and prevent altitude sickness, such as Gao Yuankang, Gao Yuanan, Rhodiola, etc., can enhance the adaptability to altitude environment. After entering Tibet, if there is acute altitude sickness, there will be no danger as long as you go to the hospital for treatment in time. At present, Tibetan hospitals have mature treatment programs for acute altitude sickness, and the cure rate is over 99%. (End)

With the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, experts predict that a large number of tourists will come to Tibet after the opening of the railway. What should I pay attention to when traveling to Tibet?

The trend of worshipping Buddha at the turn of the world

Temples are the most important cultural tourist attractions in Tibet. In many temples, you should walk clockwise.

On the contrary, in some temples of Bonism, a local religion in Tibet, the direction of the meridian line is just the opposite, so we should go counterclockwise.

Visitors should choose a good diet before preparing to visit the temple, and it is best not to eat garlic. "Even if the temple is on fire, don't let people who eat garlic enter the temple." Although this sentence is a proverb, it expresses a religious custom.

Visitors had better take off their hats before entering the Buddhist temple. Don't make noise, touch Buddha statues or litter in Buddhist temples. You are not allowed to make videos or take photos in Buddhist temples without permission.

Many temples in Tibet have dogs. Because worshippers often feed these dogs, the dogs in the temple often follow strangers. In this case, even if there is no food to feed, don't drive them away loudly or hit them with something. There is a Tibetan proverb: don't hit the dog in the temple, it will break the Lama's heart.

At the same time, Tibet is a place with a wide range of religious beliefs, and many details of the daily life of ordinary people are inextricably linked with religion. For example, many Tibetan elders will follow some sheep with HongLing hanging behind them when they turn the scriptures. This kind of sheep is called "herding sheep" and cannot be disturbed.

Respect Tibetan customs and habits

Tibet is an autonomous region where ethnic minorities mainly live in Tibet. Tibetans have their own unique customs and habits, which should be respected by people.

Tibetans sticking out their tongues is an act of humility and respect for each other, and putting their hands together shows their blessing to the guests. ...

Offering Hada is the most common and grand etiquette of Tibetan people. When the hospitable Tibetan host presents Hada to the guests, the guests should bow and accept it. When entering the homes of ordinary Tibetans, generally do not step on the threshold with your feet; When addressing a person's name, "la" is usually added after the name to show respect for the other person. If the host asks you to sit down, you can sit cross-legged. Don't straighten your legs and point your feet at people. When accepting gifts, you should pick them up with both hands.

Tibetans like to eat meat, but Tibetans don't eat horse meat, donkey meat or dog meat, and some people don't even eat fish.

Another thing to note is that you'd better not use it easily before you know the meaning of a Tibetan language you have learned.

Treat "altitude sickness" scientifically and prepare commonly used drugs appropriately.

Many tourists in Tibet are longing for the mysterious trip to Tibet, but they are also very worried about "altitude sickness". For such concerns, Professor Cen Weijun, director of the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases of Tibet Plateau Disease, suggested that visitors to Tibet must scientifically understand and treat "altitude sickness".

According to Wei Jun, in areas above 3000 meters above sea level, human hypoxic diseases caused by altitude hypoxia environment are collectively referred to as altitude sickness. Experts pointed out that colds, high fever and fatigue are all inducing factors of altitude sickness.

The clinical symptoms of altitude sickness can be divided into acute and chronic according to the length of time when people enter the plateau. Acute altitude sickness usually refers to the disease caused by high altitude hypoxia environment when people enter the plateau or enter higher altitude areas from the plateau or within a few days. Most patients have symptoms of hypoxia such as headache, dizziness, palpitation, shortness of breath, fatigue or nausea and vomiting. According to its clinical manifestations, it can be divided into three types: acute altitude sickness, acute pulmonary edema and acute altitude encephalopathy, and the latter two can coexist.

How do tourists cope with altitude sickness? Cen Weijun suggested that tourists should have a good rest and not do strenuous exercise a few days before entering Tibet. After reaching the plateau, it is best not to lift heavy objects or run. On the day of entering Tibet, you must rest in the hotel where you stay, and try to avoid outdoor activities such as receiving visitors, banquets and visits.

At the same time, tourists can take "Xintongding", "Nuodikang Capsule" or "Rhodiola Capsule" three days before entering Tibet. He said that these drugs have been confirmed by many aerial experiments from Chengdu to Lhasa, and they have certain effects on preventing altitude sickness.

He also suggested that people with bad colds, high fever, acute and chronic lung diseases, severe cardiovascular diseases, late pregnant women and children under 3 years old should not go to high altitude areas.

What should tourists do if they feel unwell after entering Tibet? Experts believe that, first of all, rest and oxygen; Secondly, if the patient's condition does not improve within three to four hours, he must go to the nearest big hospital for treatment immediately, and never "carry it hard", which will aggravate his condition.

In addition, experts advise tourists to prepare some commonly used drugs according to their own conditions before entering Tibet, such as anti-altitude sickness drugs, anti-motion sickness drugs, anti-chapped skin moisturizers, as well as standing cooling oil, mercuric chloride, thermometer, alcohol cotton, band-aid and norfloxacin. Also prepare some vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B 1, take them properly, supplement nutrition in time, and prevent vitamin deficiency. Once you catch a cold at high altitude, emphysema is easy to occur, so you should also put some cold medicine in the medicine bag. Once you have symptoms such as stuffy nose, cough and fever, you should take the medicine immediately.

Select the right device.

What equipment should tourists prepare for going to Tibet? Professionals from Tibet Tourism Bureau suggest that tourists must consider the tourist route, climate and environment of the tourist destination, etc. When choosing tourism equipment in Tibet, don't blindly buy tourism equipment to avoid unnecessary troubles and losses.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average elevation of about 4,500 meters, is known as the "roof of the world". The air pressure here is low, the oxygen is less than 50% of the plain area, the temperature difference between day and night is large, it is windy and dry, and the solar radiation and ultraviolet rays are strong. So traveling to Tibet is different from traveling to other places, and there are many things to prepare.

It is worth noting that tourists visiting Tibet should bring enough cash when traveling in Tibet, because tourists can withdraw money in Lhasa through bankbooks or savings cards of China Bank, China Agricultural Bank, China Construction Bank and China Postal Savings, and most other counties and towns generally cannot use credit cards.

Visitors who like to take photos and photography can bring their own cameras and binoculars, but visitors must pay attention to the warmth and moisture of these devices, otherwise there will be a "crash" phenomenon at critical moments.

When traveling in summer, in addition to the necessary daily necessities, individuals should also take rainproof, ultraviolet-proof and mosquito-proof items and prepare a thick coat. Tibet has a large temperature difference between day and night in summer, and the temperature is high at noon, so it is necessary to prevent heatstroke, while the temperature is low in the morning and evening, so we should pay attention to keeping warm. Generally, clothes with different thermal properties should be worn at different altitudes, and clothes and quilts should be increased or decreased in time at different temperature intervals. The basic principle is "it should be warm but not cold". When traveling in winter, you should prepare winter clothes, winter hats, earmuffs, leather cotton shoes, leather leggings, leather gloves and scarves. And skin care products to prevent ultraviolet rays and frostbite.
