What is the best season to travel to Tibet? What do you need to prepare for traveling in Tibet?

Tibet is called by some people the place where the gods live. The mystery and holiness of Tibet are what many people have always yearned for. We are always thinking about when to travel, which place and which season are most suitable. In fact, it is different. The scenery is different in each season, but if you want to see the best scenery, you must choose the right season. 1. Tourism season

Most areas in Tibet have high altitudes and large temperature differences between day and night. The climate in winter and early spring is dry and cold, with strong winds and sand. The oxygen content in the air is significantly lower than in summer, and many areas and road sections are covered with ice and snow. Therefore, the ideal time to travel to Tibet is from April to October. July-August is the rainy season in Tibet, and mudslides, landslides, swamps, etc. may occur on some road sections, making it impossible for vehicles to pass. Among them, the routes along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway into Tibet, from Lhasa to the Nyingchi area in eastern Tibet, and from Lhasa along the north-south line to Ngari are more serious. Self-driving or hiking adventurers should try to avoid the rainy season and choose May, June, September and October. If you ride a bicycle, you can go to Qinghai in August and reach Tibet at the end of the month. 2. Procedures for entering Tibet

If you go to border counties in Tibet, which are counties bordering foreign countries, you must apply for a border pass, such as Zhangmu, Ali, Everest, Medog, Milin and other places. In principle, these documents must be obtained at the place of residence of the tourist, but when you arrive in Lhasa, you can also apply for them at the police station of the hotel where you live. It takes 3-4 days, and sometimes photos are required, so you should carry 4 one-inch bareheaded photos with you. If you are tight on travel time, After arriving in Lhasa, you can go to various travel agencies and hotels in Tibet to apply for border passes, which can provide a variety of services for tourists. You can also go to the "Reception for Individual Travelers to Tibet" opposite the Snowy Hotel, which takes half a day, but You have to travel in their car. 3. Equipment for entering Tibet

A. Bring a backpack, toiletries, sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, etc. The sunshine on the plateau is strong, so be careful to wear sunglasses and sunhat when outdoors, and be careful protective measures.

B.

The temperature in Tibet is low in the morning and evening. Generally speaking, for every 1,000 meters of altitude increase, the temperature drops by 6°C, so you should dress warmly. Even in summer, people coming from the mainland must prepare woolen sweaters, thermal underwear, etc. In winter, the temperature is relatively low, and they must pay attention to cold and frost resistance. But it doesn’t matter to strong people. When I was in Lhasa in October, I often wore a pair of shorts at night. Don't think of Tibet as too mysterious.

C.

There is no ICBC in the entire Tibet Autonomous Region, so ICBC’s passbook and Peony Card will be meaningless here. It is best to bring a passbook from the Agricultural Bank of China when traveling. The Agricultural Bank of China has savings offices all over the country. The more remote the place, the more popular the Agricultural Bank of China is. Postal savings are also available nationwide for deposits and withdrawals here.

D. Prepare some small gifts, such as candies, mechanical pencils, etc., and give them to the children at the homes of ethnic minorities. You will be more popular.

E. Prepare some change of one dime or two. There are many children in Tibet begging for money.

F.

If you go to Tibet during the rainy season, you should bring rainproof clothing and pants. They are generally sold in outdoor equipment stores, and they are also sold in Lhasa, but the price is much more expensive than in cities such as Beijing. Many, the two backpacking girls I met on the way asked their families to send them raincoats and pants when they arrived in Lhasa.

G. You should bring some medicines, mainly anti-pneumonia medicines and cold medicines. Rhodiola rosea is a medicine specially used to treat hypoxia at high altitudes. You can also bring two bottles. The best and most practical medicine for treating hypoxia is glucose solution.
