What are the ways of traveling around Tibet?

There are many ways to go to Tibet: train, plane, car, bike, hiking, roller skating and unicycle. However, most tourists usually choose one of the three: train, plane and car. Although there are not many choices, for friends who are difficult to choose, they need to guess coins to make two choices, not to mention three choices. How about this: a plane in front, a train in the opposite direction, and coins standing up in the car? Of course it's a joke. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of these three ways of entering Tibet from several aspects, and then individuals can choose the appropriate mode of transportation according to their own situation. Airplane. Flying into Tibet is the lowest time cost. Chengdu, Chongqing and Lhasa usually take two hours, while Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou fly to Lhasa in four or five hours. In the off-season, air tickets from Kunming and Chongqing to Tibet often have discounts and promotions, sometimes as low as one or two hundred. Air tickets from other cities to Lhasa are basically more than 20% off, about 2000 yuan. But the biggest disadvantage of flying into Tibet is that it is not easy to adapt to the plateau. People quickly enter high altitude from low altitude environment, which can easily lead to serious altitude sickness. Therefore, it is generally recommended that locals or tourists who have visited Tibet many times choose to fly to Tibet. Train. No matter from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Lanzhou, Chengdu and Chongqing, you must pass through Xining and enter Tibet through the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Generally, trains entering Tibet will provide dispersed oxygen to the carriages after passing through Golmud. Trains entering Tibet can adapt to the plateau compared with direct flights, so the possibility of altitude sickness can be effectively reduced. In addition, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the Qinghai-Tibet Highway go together, passing through Hoh Xil, Tanggula Pass, Qinghai Lake and Cuona Lake. Sitting on the train with the sound and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the plateau outside the window is also a beautiful page in life memory; The train entering Tibet is also the most cost-effective of the three modes of transportation. Take Beijing as an example, there are 360 hard seats, 720 hard sleepers and 1 100 soft sleepers in Beijing-Lhasa. The problem caused by the violation of market pricing is that demand exceeds supply, especially in the peak season of July and August. Hard sleeper tickets to Lhasa are often expensive in Luoyang for a while, and it is hard to find a ticket.
