1. Will there be high anti-reflection on the Sichuan-Tibet Line?

After entering Tibet for the first time, many friends are not very clear about the weather, road conditions, attractions, travel configurations, and their physical reactions in high-altitude areas on the plateau. It is recommended that everyone take the southern Sichuan-Tibet route. The scenery, accommodation, catering, fueling, medical care, and security of the southern Sichuan-Tibet route are better than those of other routes into Tibet. Moreover, the altitude slowly rises, allowing the body to adapt well to changes in the environment.

If you want to go to the Sichuan-Tibet Line branch line, you can enjoy Scenic spots, such as Hailuogou, Daocheng Yading, Mugecuo, Jiepu Valley, Medog, etc., will take at least 10 days. Friends who like in-depth travel can choose the Sichuan-Tibet Line + Qinghai-Tibet Line to travel together for more than 16 days.

3. What kind of car is better to drive?

Since the road conditions on the Sichuan-Tibet Line are basically going over mountains and ridges every day, and the roads are not as easy to walk as on the plains, it is recommended that you choose off-road driving. If you don’t have a car, it’s best to rent an off-road vehicle in Chengdu. If you insist on talking about someone on the Internet who drove a car through Tibet, I can only say that he is awesome! But the premise of traveling is safety, and never take your own life for granted. In addition to being known as "China's most beautiful landscape avenue", the Sichuan-Tibet Line is also known as the "Highway of Death"!

If you are renting a car or carpooling into Tibet, the outdoor club can recommend routes and accommodation for you, which can save you a lot of trouble. I once went on a self-driving trip to Tibet and hired Tieqilang Outdoor Charter. The car, driver, route, and scenic spots were all prepared for me according to my preferences. I only needed to prepare my luggage and set off. I think it is relatively simple, and there is no shopping or forced consumption in the middle.
