Which route is more suitable for your first trip to Tibet?

Tibet, the highest province in China, is located in the southwest. It is home to the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, and the rich and colorful Tibetan culture. Various sacred mountains and lakes are scattered throughout the country, making it a great place for a road trip.

Her situation is as follows: she really wants to go to Tibet, the time is uncertain, and she has no experience in plateau tourism. I wonder if this is also the case for our readers and friends. If there are similarities, consider the two upcoming routes from Raiders.

The first one: Sichuan-Tibet Peach Blossom Line

Take Raiders as an example. Because I live in the north all year round, I don’t like to go out as soon as the temperature drops, let alone take the initiative to travel. Throughout the year, ask me which season I like, of course it is spring, just like the lyrics say, "At this time, the person who has been loved by Yingfeicao is on the road, and through the wind and rain, I know that he will not be reciprocated~"

The grass is flying and the breeze is blowing, how attractive spring is! Especially girls, no one will refuse the warm spring when a hundred flowers bloom. If you are a boy, take your loved one to see flowers to make her happy. That at least proves that you are safe and sound during the three months of spring. Hehe, why do I feel that my male compatriots live so "scared"~

This route starts from Chengdu and goes to Jinchuan in the northwest. First, go to Jinchuan to see the pear blossoms, and then return to the Sichuan-Tibet Line in the south. National Highway 318, you can regularly enjoy the most beautiful landscape avenue of the Chinese people. Then, the key point is passing by Linzhi and having a beautiful encounter with peach blossoms. What’s the beauty of Linzhi’s peach blossoms?

I guess there is no need to go into too many details in the guide. Finally, take the Linzhi Expressway to the holy city of Lhasa via the Linzhi Expressway.

The total length of the journey is 2590KM. The highlights of the route are mainly Jinchuan Pear Blossom and Linzhi Peach Blossom, followed by Muya Golden Pagoda, Jiaju Tibetan Village, Laigu Glacier and other regular attractions.

Day 10: Suosong Village-Linla Expressway - Lhasa

Because the main purpose of this trip is to enjoy the flowers, the tour period is concentrated from the end of March to the beginning of April. There are only 4 or 5 tour items, which can satisfy tourists' desire to enjoy the spring along the Sichuan-Tibet Line.

Itinerary 2: Sichuan-Tibet line itinerary including a short section of the Yunnan-Tibet line

The Sichuan-Tibet line is divided into the Southern Sichuan-Tibet line and the Beichuan-Tibet line. Because the infrastructure of the northern route is slightly weak and the altitude is high, it is not suitable for first-time visitors to Tibet. Therefore, the southern route of the Sichuan-Tibet Line (a section of National Highway 318) is the first choice for entering Tibet.

Start from Chengdu, the Land of Abundance, and go all the way west and south to Aden, Daocheng, Litang, then turn to the Yunnan-Tibet Line to see Meili Snow Mountain, enter Yanjing, and return to National Highway 318. Then, like a peach blossom line, we headed west step by step towards the holy city of Lhasa.

This trip is 3000KM. The highlights of the route include Meili Snow Mountain, Daocheng Aden, Xindu Bridge, World of Light and Shadow, thousand-year-old handmade salt wells, etc.

Why is this trip so tortuous? The main reason is that it is difficult for tourists to come out, of course to see more scenery, and this trip perfectly avoids the difficult-to-walk Haitonggou section of the Sichuan-Tibet Line.

Some friends here may ask, then why is the first route, the Sichuan-Tibet Line Peach Blossom Line, not avoided?

Mainly peach blossom lines. Due to seasonal factors, the tourist period is mainly from the end of March to the beginning of April. This is not the time when precipitation is concentrated. After the rainy season, the Haitonggou section becomes a little difficult to walk. The tour period for the second route is from early April to early November, so it is natural to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
