The Sichuan-Tibet line was not easy to walk on December 318. The Sichuan-Tibet Line is easy to travel from March to October every year. It's been much easier these past few months.

If you want to go to Namtso, summer is generally recommended.

Shigatse: May to June or September to October is recommended.

Ali: Recommended from September to October.

Tibet tourism can be divided into peak seasons, from May to October every year. Tickets, accommodation, etc. They are all relatively expensive, and the off-season is from November to April of the following year, so the prices are affordable. Among them, the most suitable season is the summer vacation from June to September every year. There are abundant trees, sufficient oxygen, and scenic spots are open to the public.

The period from the end of March to May every year is the shoulder season for tourism. This time is the transition period from the off-season to the peak season every year. Of course the price will gradually increase. In fact, I personally think that the scenery in Tibet from April to May every year is the best season. Spring in Tibet is half a beat slower than in the mainland, and the blooming scenery reaches its peak in April-May. Everything is revived, everything is green and beautiful. It is worth mentioning that April and May every year are the best opportunities to see the flag clouds of Mount Everest.

The period from mid-September to mid-October is also the shoulder season for tourism. After huge price increases in the summer, students start school in September and many parents don’t have time to travel long distances. Prices have started to fall since early September. The price reduction is not significant, but it is still a good time to go to Tibet. September is the best month for Tibetan photography groups.

June to early September is the peak tourist season in Tibet, and prices increase significantly. Especially in summer, prices fluctuate greatly from July to August, the scenery is the most pleasant, and summer (including holidays) is the emptiest. The more tourists go to Tibet, the higher the price. Excluding the large round-trip transportation costs, it is estimated that a one-week trip to Tibet will cost around 5,000-6,000 yuan per person.

The period from mid-October to mid-March of the following year is the off-season for tourism. During this period, we consider it to be the off-season for U.S. tourism in Tibet. There are really very few people who go to Tibet. It is said that Tibet is very cold in winter. In fact, the winter in Lhasa is not as cold as Beijing.

Hong Kong is a tourist destination year-round, especially from mid-September to the end of February, when the weather is relatively comfortable. If you prefer the discount season in Hong Kong, then you should choose summer vacation or Christmas and Spring Festival. But when shopping is on sale, flights and hotels will be more expensive.

December 2010-1010 is still not suitable for a self-driving trip to Lhasa, because by this month, the plants in Lhasa have dried up, and the grass and trees are, well, green. The oxygen content is relatively low, about 60% of that in the mainland. For ordinary people, it is difficult to breathe, and it is even more disadvantageous for people with lung disease or high blood pressure. So it is best not to come to Lhasa this month.
