Lhasa travel in January

Traveling to Tibet in winter sometimes depends on luck, because to reach Linzhi and Namtso, you have to pass through mountain passes over 5,000 meters high, and roads may be closed due to snow exceeding 10 centimeters. In Lhasa in winter, the daytime temperature is around 10 degrees Celsius, and it is generally not cold under the sun, so just wear a down jacket. It is colder at night, but hotels basically have heating. In Lhasa, you can visit Buda lagong, big Zhaosi, small Zhaosi, Zashi lunbusi, Norbu linka and the Tibet Museum. You can also go to Houzang: Shannan and Shigaze. Shannan is the birthplace of Tibetan civilization. It has the first temple in Tibet: Rongbu Lakang, the first piece of land, and the King of Tibet. Songtsen Ganbu moved the political center from Shannan to Lhasa. You can take the train up, which is relatively cheap. After passing through Hoh Xil and Tanggula Mountains, you can see Tibetan antelopes, wild donkeys, the sources of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, etc. The scenery is not ordinary beautiful. One advantage of traveling to Tibet in winter is that it is relatively relaxed, there are fewer people, and hotels, related items, and tickets are cheap. Lhasa also has a different style in winter.
