What should I pay attention to when traveling to Lhasa?

As the capital of Xizang Autonomous Region, Lhasa has long been the political, economic, cultural and religious center of Tibet. It is an ancient city with a history of 1300 years. 1951On May 23rd, Tibet was peacefully liberated and Lhasa entered a new era. 1960 the State Council officially approved Lhasa as a prefecture-level city, and 1982 confirmed it as one of the first 24 national historical and cultural cities. The following is what I need to pay attention to when traveling to Lhasa, hoping to help you!

Matters needing attention in Lhasa tourism

Relatively speaking, the climate from May to September is warm and humid, which is the best tourist season in Lhasa. May Day is usually the beginning of the tourist season. During the period, the temperature is suitable and it is an ideal summer resort. The temperature difference between day and night is relatively small, generally not exceeding 15℃, but the ultraviolet radiation is strong during the day. Pay special attention to sun protection to avoid sunburn. Since June+10, 65438, the temperature has dropped, the humidity has decreased, the temperature difference between day and night has increased, and it is still warm during the day, but the temperature has dropped rapidly at night, so it is necessary to add clothes to keep warm. Winter generally lasts from 1 1 to April of the following year, during which the temperature is often above 10℃ during the day and drops to -5- 10℃ at night, and the temperature changes greatly. Therefore, when traveling in Lhasa in winter, we should pay special attention to adding clothes to keep warm and cold.

You'd better choose a hotel before going to Lhasa. Don't spend your energy on finding a hotel because of altitude sickness. You can go directly to Yutu Road, but it is difficult to find a suitable hotel in the tourist season. Most hotel waiters in Lhasa have a low sense of service, so don't expect too much.

Self-help tourists can choose Lhasa Armed Police Hotel, Yuxue Hotel, Balangxue Hotel and Kiri Hotel. The price of a single room is about 100 RMB. But some people have to use public toilets. These hotels have simple accommodation procedures, including telephone (only for cities) and hot water (mostly provided within a limited time). There are a lot of notes on the message boards of Balencie Hotel and Kiri Hotel Hospital to attract companions and sell surplus materials.

For self-help travelers, travel plans can be arranged in advance. After the plan is confirmed, you can book hotels or guesthouses in Lhasa in advance through some booking websites such as online booking channels. At present, there are dozens of 100-yuan guest rooms such as Lhasa Road Family Hotel, Lhasa Xianzu Island Holiday Manor Hotel, Lhasa Hanru Hotel, Lhasa Xuefeng Hotel and Lhasa Xianzu Island Holiday Manor Hotel. /kloc-Most places above 0/00 yuan are economical and comfortable. Accommodation must be arranged in advance to avoid some trouble. Just use your name and phone number when booking, which is convenient to operate. Be sure to read carefully what services are provided, room pictures, previous customer messages, free items and fees before booking. After booking, it is recommended to communicate with the hotel by telephone to confirm it is correct. When you check in, you should provide the information used in the reservation, and then show your ID card to check in.

The average altitude in Lhasa is over 3600 meters, so tourists should pay attention to prevent altitude sickness. After reaching the platform period, they should do the following things:

1. Keep a good attitude, eliminate unnecessary fear of plateau, avoid excessive mental stress, and let your body get a full rest.

2. Avoid catching a cold. The plateau climate is cold and the temperature difference between day and night is large. After catching cold, the body is prone to respiratory tract infection and acute altitude sickness.

3. Avoid strenuous activities and heavy physical labor in the first two days, and climb slowly, which is conducive to the gradual adaptation of the body.

4. Eating high-sugar and high-quality protein food is beneficial to overcome the adverse effects of hypoxia.

5. Do not smoke, drink or drink less to reduce oxygen consumption.

6. It is best to take anti-altitude sickness health care products for 3-5 days after entering the plateau, with quick-acting Oumai oxygen-carrying tablets.

For people with strong adaptability to altitude, altitude sickness symptoms can be eliminated in 1-2 days, while those with weak adaptability need 3-7 days. If you can adapt, you can drink more butter tea, which also has a certain effect on relieving altitude sickness.

Recommendation of tourist attractions in Lhasa, Tibet

The temperature difference in Lhasa is large and the wind is strong. If you are considering going to Shigatse and Mount Everest, please bring warm winter clothes no matter what season. The temperature in Linzhi is high in Bilasa, so you can wear summer clothes in summer. Lhasa itself is not hot in summer, and summer clothes are easy to get sunburned. Please ask Baidu Lhasa weather in other seasons.

In the off-season, the price of accommodation in Lhasa is not high, and youth travel and hotels are generally chosen.

Youth standard room 100 or so, you can take a bath. The sanitary conditions are general, slightly higher than those of small hotels around railway stations in big cities. Hotels range from 150 to 200, and are generally air-conditioned. There are 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 youth brigades, and there are 24 people in the famous Dongcuo and Pingcuo (Dongcuo is called 206 and Pingcuo is called the madhouse). The conditions are very general. Rooms 3 and 4 are relatively better, at least with TV. You can get a discount if you have a youth travel membership card. I personally live in Pingcuo and Dongcuo. I feel that the atmosphere of Pingcuo is the best, but the conditions are slightly worse than that of Dongcuo. A little worse than other youth brigades. Everyone has a different opinion. Personally, I think that once, as long as girls were not particularly picky, I suggested considering youth travel. After all, the atmosphere is good and it is easy to form a group.

Eating in Lhasa is actually a luxury. Due to geographical reasons, it is said that all the potatoes and beef are shipped here, so the food price is high.

Suggested necessities:

Lipstick: The weather is extremely dry, suitable for both men and women.

Magic headscarf: wind and sun protection, multi-purpose. Those who are not afraid of the sun and sand can skip (I didn't bring it)

Xiaosuo: There are many people in youth travel.

Fever medicine, cold medicine, band-aid, etc.

Others are common travel equipment, various charging equipment, toiletries and clothes change. It is recommended that all equipment should not exceed 40L backpack when traveling alone. Many things are actually unnecessary. Hiking party, please add another 20L.
