What should I pay attention to when traveling to Lhasa?

The matters needing attention in traveling to Tibet are very comprehensive, and I hope it can help you ~

1. The Tibet Tourism Department solemnly reminds tourists that the signs of "Tibet Tourism" posted on the car doors are now invalid, and the cars with the signs of "Tibet Tourism" are not allowed to operate by the tourism department, reminding tourists entering Tibet from Zhangmu Port and Xinjiang to beware of being fooled.

2. Don't disturb the devout believers and don't point fingers.

3. Travelers should take sunscreen products and lipstick with them when they leave. Ultraviolet rays in the plateau can harm your skin in a short time.

4. We must actively prevent colds in plateau areas, because colds in high altitude areas often lead to pulmonary edema, and the cost may be life.

5. Occasionally, cattle and sheep with red, yellow and green cloth signs are seen wandering in the countryside in Tibetan areas, so don't drive them away or hurt them at will. It is a sacrifice for Tibetans to worship God. Don't aim a shotgun at vultures, Tibetans are afraid of hurting their sacred birds.

6. Don't enter the temple without permission, and don't smoke after entering the temple. It's okay to watch the things in the temple. Don't touch the Buddha statues, scriptures or take photos without authorization. Some places are not allowed to travel counterclockwise, and some secret places are forbidden to women.

7. When you step into Tibetan tents and bedrooms, don't step on the threshold or spit in front of others.

8. Tibetans stick out their tongues to show respect, not ridicule; Folding is a kind of etiquette.

9. About celestial burial: The Tibetan government and tourism agencies do not encourage tourists to see celestial burial. Tibetans, especially the families of the deceased, do not want the Han people to watch it. This is a national habit and human nature. If you have a chance to meet, please respect your words and deeds.

1. Don't buy any furs of wild animals, horns of wild Tibetan antelopes, skulls of wild yaks, etc. in Tibet. This is tantamount to supporting the increasingly rampant poaching of wild animals in Tibet. In fact, if you are found carrying these items when you leave Tibet, you are likely to face great trouble yourself.

11. Don't pay the local people you filmed, and don't force them to shoot what they don't want you to shoot. You can send them some food or medicine to increase their trust in you. Don't try to help foreigners enter Tibet without legal procedures.

12. The weather there changes greatly, so you should dress appropriately according to the weather changes. You can bring some slightly thicker clothes and rain gear. It should be rainy season by the end of April.

13. Pay attention to how your body reacts when you first go. It is necessary to bring some commonly used drugs with you. Don't be stiff if you feel uncomfortable.

14. You can bargain when you buy something, but be careful that fake goods are cheated.

15. It is forbidden to take photos after entering the ticket gate of Bugong, so be careful that the camera will be handed over. Don't take pictures in the hall of Jokhang Temple, just the platform on the second floor. Sera Temple, some halls in drepung monastery can take photos, but you have to pay. If you meet monks who want to take a group photo on the way, you'd better give some money afterwards to show your gratitude.
