I plan to go to Lhasa in May, starting from Haikou. What should I pay attention to? I plan to transfer from Chengdu. I don’t know if it is suitable?

It mainly depends on your mode of travel. If you are transferring by plane or traveling by car (including riding a bicycle), it is very convenient to transfer from Chengdu to Lhasa. If you are transferring by plane, you need to pay attention to the peak tourist period and be sure to book a flight ticket before departure. Otherwise, it’s all first class without discounts, which is a bit expensive.

It seems that you have never been to Lhasa before. If you travel to Tibet on your own, you need to pay attention to a few issues:

1. It must be altitude sickness. It is best to avoid it before departure. Start taking anti-altitude sickness drugs such as rhodiola rosea within two weeks. Generally speaking, altitude sickness in Lhasa will not be too severe. Oxygen inhalation can slow down the symptoms of altitude sickness but will not make them disappear completely, so do not rely on oxygen inhalation. Please note that you should not exercise excessively during the first three days in Lhasa. It is recommended that you do not move on the first day. This requires that accommodation issues must be resolved in advance. In addition, friends with severe hypertension are not recommended to travel to high altitude areas. (In addition, according to research, the altitude sickness caused by flying is actually less than that by trains. Because you can rest well, you must not be afraid when you get off the plane. A very small number of people will have severe fever, so don’t be afraid. Just go to a nearby hospital or clinic for treatment. La. )

2. Tibet will enter the peak tourist season in May. You must solve the accommodation problem. You can book a hotel in advance. It is recommended that the Tibet Hall near Tibet University is not bad. It would be better if there are people to receive it.

3. Several hotels located on Beijing East Road and near Chongsai Kang are gathering places for traveling enthusiasts. If you go to the classic routes of Namtso, Yanghu-Shigatse, and Nyingchi, you can consider carpooling there. , more freedom than chartering a car from a travel agency.

4. It is recommended to visit Drepung Monastery in Lhasa. It is best to go early. It is definitely worth watching the monks’ morning or afternoon classes. In contrast, the Potala Palace is mainly about visiting jewelry and gold.

That’s a lot of nonsense. I wish you a pleasant journey in Tibet.
