How about traveling to Tibet in winter?

It is appropriate to travel to Tibet in winter. Looking for the warmth of winter, Lhasa is crisp and free to walk through the combination of Tibetan culture and nature. Give yourself a reason to travel to Tibet in winter. In winter, the scenery in Tibet Plateau is peculiar and magnificent, the sky is completely blue, and there are no clouds in Wan Li, which sets off the snow-capped mountains and grasslands more naturally. A donkey friend who once traveled to Tibet in winter said that winter is the best season to watch the 15th peak in the world-Namgyabawa Peak. When Tibet enters the dry season, especially in winter, it is dry and partly cloudy, and the sky is particularly blue. If you are lucky, you can see the true face of Nanga Bawa Peak. Similarly, Mount Everest in winter is also a good time to watch, and I am fortunate to see the beautiful scenery of Mount Everest. It is also the case that winter in Tibet has become the most anticipated season for professional photographers.

There are many small details to pay attention to when going to Tibet in winter

1. The temperature in Lhasa in winter is 15 degrees during the day and about 5 degrees below zero at night, with a large temperature difference. You need to wear winter down jackets, cover the quilt at night and keep warm.

2. The scenery in Tibet in winter is not much worse than that in summer, except that Namco is frozen by heavy snow and the river in Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon dries up. In winter, it is suitable for the Bomi line in Linzhi, with low altitude and abundant oxygen, and can appreciate the winter scenery of Tibet with a drop of 2~3 meters. In addition, the route of Mount Everest in Shigatse is also the choice of many winter tourists. In winter, there are few clouds on Mount Everest, which is a dry season, so there are more opportunities to see the flag cloud of Mount Everest. The flag cloud is a milky white smoke cloud like a flag floating on the top of Mount Everest, which is very artistic. In addition, some Buddhists also choose to go to Shannan Temple for a small group in winter to see Yongbulakang in winter.

3. The necessary drugs must first have anti-altitude sickness drugs. Because the temperature in Tibet is low in winter and the oxygen content in the air is lower, altitude sickness is more likely to occur. It is recommended to start taking Rhodiola half a month before departure. In addition, there are specific drugs for treating colds, cough drops, anti-inflammatory drugs, vitamins and gastrointestinal drugs. After arriving in Lhasa, drugs such as Rhodiola, Gaoyuankang and Gaoyuanning are sold in local pharmacies. Continue to take them, effectively reducing high reaction.

4. wear sunglasses or sunglasses. In winter, when you go to Lhasa to enjoy the sunshine, sunglasses or sunglasses are essential, which can protect the sun and play cool.

5. The sunscreen bag is filled with sunscreen, lotion and lip balm. In winter, the air in Lhasa is particularly dry and the sun is strong, so it is most important for both men and women to protect their faces. In addition, snow blindness (eyes stimulated by reflected light from snow for a long time) and frostbite are special diseases in winter plateau, which also need to be guarded against.

6. Shooting tips. The sunshine on the Tibetan Plateau in winter is strong, and there is a great contrast between the light-receiving surface and the shadow surface of the scene. If you shoot people in the back light, you can use a flash to fill the light. It's best to shoot plateau scenery before 9 am and after 5 pm.

7. Wear small details. Wear down jacket with thermal underwear inside, and you can choose thick jeans for your pants. Go to Mount Everest and bring thick thermal pants, and casual shoes or sneakers are enough. Gravel roads are common during the trip, and the hard bottom cushion does not hurt your feet. It is more suitable to go to out shoes, a high-rise hard bottom in Mount Everest.

8. The snow scene in Tibet in winter is a good landscape. However, snow and ice and water will reflect strong sunlight. Exposing your eyes directly to this environment for too long in sunny days will cause snow blindness. Snow blindness can make vision disappear for a short time. If this happens, you should wash your eyes with liquid medicine, go to a dark place or cover your eyes with a blindfold, and ice them with a cold towel. Reduce the use of eyes and don't apply hot compress, because high temperature will aggravate the pain.

9. When going to Tibet in winter, it is suggested to consult the local travel agencies in Tibet online in advance. Generally, mainland travel agencies have stopped their tours. In winter, the tour of Tibet is not sent every day. Make an appointment in advance to ensure that you can send a tour and settle down in a hotel in Lhasa on schedule. At the same time, self-help tourists are also advised to find a partner online in advance and make an appointment to rent a car. After all, there are fewer tourists in winter, so make travel plans in advance.

1. There will be some festivals in winter in Tibet, such as Tibetan New Year, Spring Festival, New Year's Day, etc. You can look up relevant information online. After entering Tibet, it is another taste to celebrate the festival with local Tibetan compatriots. At the same time, pay attention to the winter tour promotion activities introduced by the local government, and you can participate selectively. Such as Lhasa Kite Festival, Yangbajing Hot Springs, and Lulang Bicycle Tour Competition.

In a word, going to Tibet in winter is worth seeing. Friendly Tibetan compatriots and enthusiastic travel agency staff welcome Chinese and foreign tourists to visit the snowy plateau in Tibet in winter.
