There are many things to pay attention to when going to Tibet. What are the most common cultural knowledge?

1, respect the beliefs of local people

The most important thing to go to Tibet is to respect the customs and traditions that Tibetans believe in Buddhism. In the street, you will see many monks who preach scriptures, as well as believers who kowtow to pilgrimage from all over the world. You must respect them. When visiting a temple, you must also keep quiet and keep a certain distance from the monks. Especially women, can't have physical contact with monks.

Don't touch other people's heads casually.

This is absolutely forbidden in Tibet! You can't just touch people's heads. It is said that if you touch the head of the opposite sex, he will go with you, otherwise you must stay! Only the elders can touch the head of the younger generation, and it is not allowed between peers! Perhaps for Tibetans, the top of the head belongs to the body part of the holy God!

3. About altitude sickness and how to enter Tibet.

When many people mention Tibet, the first thing that comes to mind is the high incidence of rebellion. In fact, altitude sickness is not so terrible. Men are more prone to altitude sickness than women, because their daily oxygen demand is relatively high, especially those who love exercise and fitness. When we arrived in Tibet, the first thing was altitude sickness. Therefore, prepare medicines to prevent altitude sickness before departure and consider how to enter Tibet. Is it by plane? Train? Still driving? I even suggest taking the train or driving by car, because the plane doesn't have a process of adapting to high reaction, and people often feel uncomfortable when they get off the plane, and altitude sickness will appear immediately. So self-driving and trains are relatively safer ways to enter Tibet!

Of course, in addition to the above problems, you should pay attention to more customs and habits when you go to Tibet. For example, Tibetans do not kill animals, and some places still retain the custom of celestial burial, which deserves respect.
