Tibet self-guided tour guide

Tibet Self-guided Tour Guide: Prepare thick clothes, prevent altitude sickness, bring sunscreen, and plan a good route.

1. Tibet has a large temperature difference between day and night, with the annual average temperature ranging from -2.4°C to 12.1°C, decreasing from southeast to northwest. The monthly average temperature is highest in June or July and lowest in January. The diurnal temperature range is above 15°C, which is greater in winter and smaller in summer. It is recommended to bring some back clothes.

2. It is actually very convenient to withdraw money in Tibet, but it is recommended to use postal savings, which is the most convenient bank. Others such as China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, and Bank of China also have them, but some small places may not have them. Banks in some counties are often closed, but they generally have cash machines. Others such as Everbright and Transportation are not available in Tibet.

3. Tibet has very strong ultraviolet rays, so you must not take it lightly, especially Lhasa, which has a high altitude and is also a "sunlight city". Be careful to bring sunscreen to protect your skin, as well as sunglasses and sunshade. It’s best to wear a hat, otherwise your skin may not be able to bear it and your eyes may feel uncomfortable at the end of the day.

4. There are many good spots in Tibet. You can take a look at which places you are interested in and then plan an itinerary for yourself. For example, Potala Palace (3 hours) → Zongjiao Lukang Park (1 hour) → Jokhang Temple (1.5 hours) → Barkhor Street (2 hours).
