At the junction of Sichuan Province and the Tibet Autonomous Region are Qamdo City and Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Qamdo City is located in eastern Tibet, at the junction of Tibet, Sichuan, Qinghai, and Yunnan. It is the only place where the Sichuan-Tibet Highway and the Yunnan-Tibet Highway pass, and it is also an important hub of the "Qinghai-Tibet Railway". The Ancient Tea Horse Road.

With Qamdo as the center, it borders Sichuan Province to the east, Yunnan Province to the southeast, Linzhi City in Tibet to the southwest, Nagqu City in Tibet to the northwest, Qinghai Province to the north, and Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region, to the west.

Do you have to go through Chengdu when going to Tibet?

Answer 1: Everyone comes from different cities and needs a gathering place.

Answer: Chengdu is the starting point of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway.

Answer: Sichuan and Tibet are closely connected. Not only roads, railways, aviation, humanities, and commercial logistics all use Chengdu as the exchange center.

Even taking the train, every stop from Chengdu to Tibet is beautiful, if these two answers can I can't explain why.

You can also take the Yunnan-Tibet Line or the Qinghai-Tibet Line.

Chengdu, as the starting point of the Sichuan-Tibet Line, is the first choice route for most people to enter Tibet for the first time. The Chengdu-Lhasa one-way trip (including Daocheng Aden) takes about 10 days. In addition, my country's current paid leave mechanism is not perfect. Many people can have 10 days of leave, which is already a high-welfare industry. So from the time/performance ratio point of view, the timing of the trip from Chengdu to Tibet is just right.

In addition, Chengdu is a core city in western China with strong high-speed/railway/air travel capabilities. It is very convenient to travel to Chengdu from various domestic cities. In addition, take Beijing as an example: Beijing-Chengdu, Xining-Beijing. The bus journey takes two days, and the expressway is the main route, so the travel cost is relatively high. Guests are prone to physical fatigue before entering Tibet, resulting in lower overall travel value for money. So more people prefer to go with the big traffic first.

Furthermore, there is the problem of high rebellion. The Tibetan Plateau is thousands of meters above sea level. If you fly directly to Lhasa, many people will be at high altitude. But if you drive from Chengdu to Tibet, the altitude along the way will not rise in vain, but will rise slowly, giving passengers a buffer and adaptation period. Coupled with an experienced driver, handling heights is very easy.
