When is the best time to go to Tibet …

From the end of March to May every year, it belongs to the tourist peak season, and it is the transition period from the off-season to the peak season every year. Of course, the price will gradually increase. In fact, the scenery in Tibet from April to May every year is personally considered to be the best season. Spring in Tibet is half a beat slower than that in the mainland. From April to May, the flowers peak and everything recovers. full of green is beautiful. It is worth mentioning that Mount Qomolangma from April to May every year is the best time to watch the Qiyun of Mount Qomolangma.

From mid-September to mid-10, it is also a tourist season. After the sharp price increase in summer, students started school in September, and many parents didn't have time to travel long distances. The price has been falling since the beginning of September, and the price reduction is not large, but it is still a good time to go to Tibet. September is the best month for Tibetan photography groups.

From June to the beginning of September, it is the peak season for tourism and Tibet, and the price has increased greatly. Especially in summer, the price fluctuates greatly from July to August, the scenery is the most pleasant, and the summer time is the most free (there are holidays). There are many tourists going to Tibet, and the price will go up.

The mid-October of 65438 10 to the mid-March of the following year belongs to the off-season, which we think is the off-season of Tibet tourism. There are really few people going to Tibet. It is said that Tibet is cold in winter, but Lhasa is not as cold as Beijing in winter. Of course, tourism in many places in Chinese mainland enters the off-season in winter, and there are really not many tourists willing to travel in winter. The price of going to Tibet at this time is really favorable, and many scenic spots are also half-price tickets.

Extended data:

Due to the influence of topography, landforms and atmospheric circulation, the climate in Tibet is unique, complex and diverse. Generally speaking, the climate in the northwest is cold and dry, and the climate in the southeast is warm and humid. So from southeast to northwest, the climate types are tropical, subtropical, temperate plateau, sub-frigid plateau, frigid plateau and so on. In the alpine valleys and southern slopes of the Himalayas in southeastern Tibet, due to the repeated uplift of the terrain, the temperature gradually drops, and the climate changes vertically from tropical or subtropical climate to temperate, cold temperate and frigid climate. ?

With the increase of altitude and the decrease of air pressure and air density, the oxygen content per cubic meter of air gradually decreases, which is equivalent to 73% of sea level at an altitude of 3,000 meters, 62% ~ 65.4% at 4,000 meters, 59% at 5,000 meters and less than 52% above 6,000 meters.

Under the alternating control of winter westerly wind and summer southwest monsoon, the difference between dry season and rainy season in Tibet is very obvious. The general dry season is 10 to April of the following year. May to September is the rainy season, and the rainfall generally accounts for about 90% of the annual precipitation. The precipitation in different places is also seriously uneven, and the annual precipitation is gradually reduced from 5000 mm in the southeast lowlands to 50 mm in the northwest.

The climate in southern Tibet and northern Tibet is very different. Affected by the warm and humid air current in the Indian Ocean, the southern Tibet Valley is mild and rainy, with an annual average temperature of 8℃, a monthly average minimum temperature of-16℃ and a monthly average maximum temperature of over 16℃. The northern Tibetan Plateau has a typical continental climate, with an annual average temperature below 0℃ and a freezing period of half a year. The highest temperature in July does not exceed 10℃, and it is warmer in June-August, rainy in winter and windy at night. As far as the climate is concerned, March to 65438+1October is more suitable for traveling to Tibet, and June to September is the best season. ]

Tibet is the place with the largest solar radiation energy in China, which is twice as much as the plain area at the same latitude, namely 1/3. The sunshine time is also the longest in the country. Compared with the mainland of China, the temperature in most parts of Tibet is low, and the annual average temperature in Lhasa and Shigatse is lower than that in Chongqing, Wuhan and Shanghai at the same latitude 10 ~ 15℃. In Ali, where the altitude is more than 5000 meters, the daytime temperature is only about 10℃ in midsummer and August, and the temperature will even drop below 0℃ at night.
