What should I pay attention to when traveling to Tibet?

Hello, I am a landscape appraiser, a tourist experiencer and a hotel sleeper in chinese national geography. I have traveled all over China except Ningxia and have been to dozens of countries. I'm glad to answer your questions on the trip. ? Also welcome to pay attention to me, walk with me and explore this wonderful world.

Traveling to Tibet is mainly concerned with two aspects-

1, the first thing to pay attention to is to be prepared for high reflexes before departure, especially when going to the plateau for the first time and flying. If you enter Tibet by train, there is also a process of slowly climbing the altitude to adapt your body. Otherwise, it is easy to get excited when you suddenly arrive at a high altitude area with thin air. Therefore, the general preparation is to start taking saffron drugs half a month before departure, and at the same time strengthen physical exercise and enhance physical resistance. On the first day after arriving in Tibet, pay attention to ensuring physical rest and not being too tired.

2. Because of the unique culture of Tibetan areas, we should pay attention to understand the local customs so as to avoid inadvertently committing taboos. For example, many places in Tibet will pile some stones, and many people will pull them at will without knowing the situation. In fact, this is called Manidui, which is a unique way of praying for Tibetans. Generally, it symbolizes two meanings, one is to stone a ghost to death, and the other is to represent a god of goodwill such as a protective tower, which is similar to the small towers and real towers worshipped everywhere in the mainland. The meaning of guarding a rock cannot be easily moved. In addition, there are many temples in Tibetan areas, and there will be some places to avoid. For example, you are not allowed to smoke, wear sunglasses and masks, show your clothes, wear skirts, touch books and murals, and you will be disrespectful when you meet a living Buddha. These are some basic habits.

Also, get along with Tibetans and don't meet at will. In Tibetan areas, this is called "touching the head to kill people", which is very disrespectful. In addition, don't shoot crazily with your camera without the permission of Tibetans. Once a picture was circulated on the Internet, and a bunch of old wizards chased Tibetans to take pictures, which became a joke.

In fact, there are many taboos, but as ordinary travelers, we don't have many opportunities to contact them, or these are not so much national taboos as basic polite behaviors. Although sometimes we can't understand some customs, it is the basic cultivation of civilization to do as the Romans do and respect the folk customs of others.

I hope the above suggestions can help you. If you like to remember to praise me, you can also pay attention to my Baijia number. If you have different opinions, please leave your valuable opinions.
