What should you pay attention to when traveling to Tibet?

China is a vast country with abundant resources and abundant tourism resources. There are many domestic tourist attractions. As the living standards of Chinese people have improved significantly, more and more Chinese people are willing to travel. Many provinces and cities in China have launched a tourism boom, and cities have also developed very well because of tourism.

Speaking of provinces swept by the tourism boom, there are many domestic tourism, such as Guangdong, Sichuan, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Hainan, etc. But what I’m going to talk about today is not these cities, but Tibet, the tourist “holy land” in the minds of Chinese travelers all over the country.

Tibet has always been called a "Holy Land" for tourism by travel enthusiasts, especially for those who travel to Tibet on foot along the Sichuan-Tibet Line. There are many ways to reach Tibet, but most people choose to hike, drive, bike, etc. Because in this way you can exercise your endurance and perseverance, you can also enjoy the scenery along the way and cleanse your soul.

However, Tibet has many traditional cultures and customs that have been completely preserved. When many travel friends go to Tibet for the first time, they sometimes offend each other without paying attention. So what I want to talk about today are 3 things you need to pay attention to when traveling in Tibet, especially the second one, which you may not know yet! Let’s take a look together now!

Temple

Tibet has a very strong religious atmosphere, and there are many local temples with different shapes, which are one of the highlights of a trip to Tibet. But if you travel to Tibet, you should remember that most temples in Tibet are not allowed to take pictures. There are also many rules when entering the temple. For example, it is best not to wear shorts or revealing clothes, and you must remain quiet at all times and your body must be dignified.

Pilgrims

When you are about to enter Tibet and Tibet, you will usually see many pilgrims, that is, pilgrims worshiping devoutly. Generally, many travel friends will want to take pictures of this wonderful moment with their mobile phones, but this is not possible. You need to say hello in advance when taking pictures, otherwise it will be disrespectful to others.

Important checkpoints

On the way to Tibet, you will often encounter many checkpoints, or important bridges, tunnels, etc. will be guarded. Tourists can see a lot of military construction and guard soldiers, but these things are not allowed to be photographed. If it is discovered, it will most likely be forcibly deleted and cannot be exposed.
