How about going to Lhasa in winter?

It is a good choice to go to Lhasa in winter, but you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Itinerary arrangement: The temperature in Lhasa is low in winter, and the highest temperature in the daytime is about 15 degrees, which may drop to minus 5 degrees at night. You need to prepare enough warm clothes, such as thick down jackets, gloves and hats. At the same time, because many scenic spots may be closed in winter or the scenery is not as good as other seasons, it is necessary to know the itinerary in advance and choose suitable scenic spots for sightseeing. For example, when the Potala Palace enters the renovation period in winter, it usually closes at 10, while the tourist season in Lhasa is from May to 10, when the scenery is the most beautiful.

2. Transportation mode: Lhasa has relatively convenient transportation, and you can choose different transportation modes such as plane, train and car. If you choose a plane, it should be noted that altitude sickness may occur in winter due to low air pressure and thin oxygen, so you need to prepare in advance. If you choose the train, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, but you need to bring warm clothes and anti-altitude sickness drugs. If you choose a car, you need to pay attention to the road conditions and weather conditions to avoid traffic accidents.

3. Accommodation: Winter is the peak season for Lhasa tourism. Accommodation may be tight, so you need to book in advance. You can choose different types of accommodation such as local tourist hotels or homestays, and choose according to your own needs and budget. If you need to experience local culture, you can choose to stay in Tibetan family hotels or homestays, but you need to pay attention to respecting local cultural habits and lifestyles.

Generally speaking, when you travel to Lhasa in winter, you need to pay attention to issues such as warmth, itinerary, mode of transportation and accommodation. If you make full preparations in advance, you can enjoy the unique culture and natural scenery of Lhasa.
