📅 A four-day, three-night itinerary, taking you on a tour of Lhasa!

Remember to do a good job with sun protection: hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and sun-protective clothing are all essential! 🌡️ As for the climate, it's very dry, with a huge temperature difference between day and night! No matter the season, an outer coat is a must. It can be hot during the day, but sun protection is still necessary. At night or when going to higher altitudes, you'll need to wear a thick jacket or down coat! 💡 Another tip: on your first day in Lhasa, don't rush to wash your hair or take a shower, as it's easy to catch a cold. Also, don't hurry to Potala Palace, as climbing stairs without acclimating can lead to altitude sickness. 【Touring Tips】 📸 Remember to bring your ID card when going out, as you need to show it to enter Barkhor Street. Photography is not allowed inside temples, and remember to wear long pants, not skirts, shorts, or slippers. 🚗 For transportation, it takes about 70 minutes by taxi from the train station to the city center, and from the airport to the city center.

Highland barley wine, butter tea, tsampa, yak yogurt, stone pot chicken, Tibetan yak meat hotpot, potato buns... every bite is the taste of Lhasa!

Since returning to Tibet I have always wanted to use words to record what I saw and thought in Tibet. Finally found no way to start If you have the chance, you must come to Tibet in person. You will know that it is impossible to describe it with words. Some people said that my trip to Tibet was too painful. But for me it is a challenge and courage I am very glad that I did not shrink or retreat when facing the altitude of more than 4,000 to 5,000 meters. It was only on the third day after arriving in Tibet that I felt a splitting headache from altitude sickness. I was breathing oxygen all the way in and out of the car. I take medicine every day, but the body's reaction is still unavoidable. Fortunately, I have adapted to it later. The most important thing during these nine days is to meet some interesting friends This journey is a valuable experience. Whenever I think of it, I miss it The point is that they are all very good at taking photos (Hey! Wrong point 😆 I saw a sentence in the Potala Palace "When one day your soul can no longer keep up with your own pace, come to Tibet and it will tell you many reasons to slow down." Along the way, I watched the scenery and talked to myself I think this is the answer #Tibet #Lhasa #Potala Palace #Yamhu Yongcuo #Shigatse #Karola Glacier #Namtso #Mount Everest #Jokhang Temple #Barkhor Street #Travel

Hey guys, I just got back from Lhasa. It was a really rewarding trip, but I also made a lot of mistakes along the way. 😭 I’ve put together some tips from my own experience, and I hope they can help anyone planning a trip to Lhasa! Preparation • Altitude sickness: Altitude sickness is a big challenge when visiting Lhasa. Start taking Rhodiola a week in advance. It may not work for everyone, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. When you arrive in Lhasa, don’t rush to take a shower or wash your hair. Let your body get used to the high altitude first. If you have a bad headache, go to a pharmacy and buy some headache powder. It’s only a few yuan per packet and works instantly. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest. Don’t jump around as soon as you arrive, or your altitude sickness will get worse! • ID: Be sure to bring your ID card. It’s the most important thing. If you have a student ID, military ID, or other discount card, bring it with you. Many attractions offer discounts. Also, apply for a border pass in advance. It will make it much easier to visit some border areas. Otherwise, it will be a hassle to apply for one on the spot. Attractions • Potala Palace: The Potala Palace is truly amazing, and it’s a great place to take photos. 📸 Remember to book tickets in advance on the “Potala Palace Ticket Booking System” mini program. Tickets are released at 7 am every day, so be sure to set an alarm to get them. When visiting, don’t make loud noises. Respect the local religious beliefs and cultural customs. • Barkhor Street: This street is full of Tibetan style. Rent a Tibetan outfit and take some photos. It’s like traveling to another world. But when renting a Tibetan outfit, be sure to compare a few stores so you don’t get ripped off. You can also walk with the people turning prayer wheels on Barkhor Street and experience the peaceful and devout atmosphere. • Nagenla Mountain Pass: If you have the chance, be sure to visit Nagenla Mountain Pass. It’s 5,190 meters above sea level. Standing there, the blue sky and white clouds are within reach, and you’re surrounded by snow-capped mountains. It’s so beautiful that you’ll be speechless. But be sure to keep warm. It’s very windy and cold on the mountain. Food • Tibetan noodles: Tibetan noodles are smooth and chewy, and the broth is rich. A bowl in the morning will wake you up. You can find them at most Tibetan restaurants on the street, and they’re very affordable. A bowl costs about 10 yuan. • Butter tea: Butter tea is a traditional Tibetan drink. You may not like it at first, but you’ll find it delicious after a while. It can also relieve altitude sickness. You can order a pot at a sweet tea house and enjoy it with friends while experiencing the local slow life. • Yak hot pot: Yak meat is firm and flavorful when cooked in a hot pot. It’s the perfect meal in winter. But be careful. Some hot pot restaurants use regular beef instead of yak meat. Check the reviews before choosing a restaurant. Shopping • Souvenirs on Barkhor Street: There are many souvenir shops on Barkhor Street. They’re full of all kinds of things, but be sure to check the quality and price. Some items look exquisite, but they’re actually of average quality and overpriced. Don’t be afraid to haggle before buying. • Herbs: There are many places in Lhasa that sell Tibetan medicine and herbs. If you don’t know much about them, it’s best not to buy them. You might end up with fakes or get ripped off. If you really want to buy some, ask a local you trust for help. Guys, Lhasa is a great place to visit. You may run into some problems, but as long as you do your research, you’ll have a wonderful trip. 💕 If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments!

🌟 I happened to be on a business trip to Lhasa, so I flew directly from Chengdu to Lhasa. I rested a little to adapt to the high altitude. I really like Lhasa, a city of integration, with ancient palaces, mysterious temples, modern shopping malls, and beautiful Tibetan clothes. There are many places worth visiting, such as the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Yaowang Mountain, Sera Monastery, Barkhor Street, and the Tibet Museum. 🏨 I stayed at the Pingcuo Kangsang Hotel in Lhasa, which is a favorite place for self-driving travelers. It is very clean, not far from the Lhasa market, and has a great environment and breakfast. 🍲 As for the food in Lhasa, I like to eat and drink in the mall, with milk tea and dry pot shrimp. The traditional Tibetan yak hot pot is worth trying, and a cup of goat milk is also good to try occasionally. 1⃣️ On the first day, I took a taxi from the hotel to the Potala Palace. The opening hours of the Potala Palace are different, from 9:00 to 16:30 in the peak season and from 9:30 to 15:00 in the off-season. The ticket price is CNY 200 in the peak season and CNY 100 in the off-season. You need to make a reservation in advance, and it is a little difficult to make a reservation because it is so popular. The tour route of the Potala Palace starts from the main entrance, and you can visit the White Palace, Red Palace, Hall of Dharma King, Hall of Bodhi Path, and Hall of Sounding Copper in turn. Note that the Potala Palace Square is the best place to take panoramic and night photos of the Potala Palace. It is recommended to hire a tour guide. ➡️ Then go to Jokhang Temple, which costs CNY 85 and also needs to be reserved in advance. The tour route starts from the main hall of Jokhang Temple to the small hall of Sakyamuni Hall to the second floor of Jokhang Temple to the Golden Roof. ➡️ It is a must to visit Barkhor Street, where you can buy some meaningful souvenirs, such as Thangka paintings, gold barrels, silver earrings, turquoise, and saffron. 2⃣️ On the second day, I visited the Tibet Museum. Although it is a provincial museum, it is far less valuable than the Potala Palace. The museum displays the history, culture, and art of Tibet, with many precious cultural relics. ➡️ Then go to Yaowang Mountain, which is the shooting location of the pattern on the back of the CNY 50 banknote, where you can overlook the Potala Palace and Lhasa. Prepare a CNY 50 banknote, and you can take a photo with the Potala Palace. The Yaowang Mountain viewing platform is a great place to take photos of the Potala Palace. 3⃣️ On the third day, I took a taxi to Norbulingka, which is the summer palace of the Dalai Lamas of all dynasties, with beautiful garden landscapes. In the afternoon, I went to Sera Monastery to watch the debate. Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery, and Ganden Monastery are known as the three major monasteries in Lhasa. The debate here is very famous, and the monks try their best to debate. 4⃣️ On the fourth day, I drove from Lhasa to Yamdrok Lake and Puma Yumco. The wind at Yamdrok Lake is strong, but it is super beautiful. Is the holy lake more beautiful when the wind is stronger? The water of Puma Yumco has frozen into a huge ice surface. Of course, the little potato from the south, who has never seen the world, will not miss the opportunity to enjoy the ice. At the end of the lake is the sacred mountain of Kula Kangri. After enjoying the lake, I went back to the hotel and continued to work on my business trip.

The first day of the Chinese New Year in 2025🧨 Wear a red Tibetan dress in Lhasa📷 Address: Barkhor Street (There are so many people at the beginning of the year...

Namcha Barwa Snow Mountain 🏔️ "Life is just a journey of coming and going, with joy and sorrow, bitterness and sweetness." 🙋🏻‍♀️I am a lucky person, and that's because I have the best boss, the best, no rebuttal‼️ After all, with my weak strength, I can't visit during non-tourist hours, and I have a special person to explain to me, not to mention worshiping the statue of Sakyamuni. And the amulet given by Master Laba. I'm so excited...

Different from the gorgeous clothes in commercial photography We bought our own clothes. Come experience Tibetan clothing in Lhasa‼ ️ 🟡There are many clothing stores near Barkhor Street in Lhasa city. My friend and I each bought a set The price ranges from 100 to 180 depending on the style and fabric. While trying on clothes, I also learned some differences about Tibetan clothing. In fact, due to the different natural environments and production and living styles in different places, Tibetan costumes also have their own characteristics.

Barkhor Street in Lhasa is one of the essence places of Tibetan culture, where the pilgrims and the dazzling array of Tibetan goods make people feel the strong ethnic customs. On the other hand, Chulalongkorn University Night Market showcases another side of Bangkok's multiculturalism, attracting tourists from all over the world to explore. The prayer wheels and Tibetan cuisine in Barkhor Street are full of religious connotations and regional characteristics, while Chulalongkorn University Night Market, with its free and relaxed atmosphere and global cultural exchange, has become a hotspot for young people to explore. A journey from the snowy plateau to the Southeast Asian city truly allows one to feel the diversity and inclusiveness of the world.

When you come to Lhasa, you must visit Barkhor Street. Barkhor Street, also known as Bajiao Street, is a famous circumambulation path and commercial center in Lhasa. It has preserved the traditional appearance and living style of the ancient city. The main attractions on Barkhor Street include Jokhang Temple, the circumambulation path, the Dalai Lama's secret palace, and many handicraft shops of various forms. There are many shops on Barkhor Street that offer Tibetan costume photography. I randomly chose one with a nice facade and went in. The final photos turned out okay, but the Tibetan headpiece was tightly pressed on my head, which was painful. 💡Tips: The photographer said that my outfit was a standard Tibetan costume. Those bright red ones with dragons and phoenixes, paired with white floral boots, are all mismatched. Some are even costumes, which are enough to deceive tourists like us. After all, women only care about looking good and slim, and don't really care if the clothes are authentic (haha, I want to say you are right). However, locals would look down on them. 📍Address: Next to Jokhang Temple, Chengguan District, Lhasa 🚌Transportation: Take bus 9, 10, or 12 and get off at the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital stop

| Tibetan Costume Experience: How to Avoid Pitfalls in One Minute. 📸 You must try a Tibetan costume photo shoot in Lhasa. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you avoid pitfalls. ❓ Where to shoot? 1⃣ Potala Palace or Barkhor Street? Both are great! Potala Palace is magnificent and iconic of Tibet, but it can be a bit monotonous and lacks a cultural atmosphere. Barkhor Street, with its Tibetan architecture and rich cultural landscape, offers more shooting scenes and content, allowing for more diverse styles, and it's less sunny! 2⃣ If you have a bigger budget, you can go for outdoor shoots at Paradise Grassland and Yamdrok Lake. Paradise Grassland requires a bit of hiking, but it offers great shots with horses, sheep, and tents. The blue Yamdrok Lake is even more beautiful, with sheep, horses, yaks, and the blue lake and sky, making for stunning photos. It's a bit far, about a 2-hour drive. ❓ Which studio to choose? ✅ There are many photo studios, and the prices are similar. My advice is to look at customer photos and find a style you like and suits you. Learn and choose scenes and poses you like. ❓ How to choose a photographer and makeup artist? ✅ Makeup and photography skills are important. Communicate with the makeup artist and photographer about your preferred makeup, style, and scenes. ❓ How to choose costumes? ✅ Light and elegant costumes are great for a sunny and sweet style, while dark costumes can create a cinematic or film-like feel. Choose based on your preference. 📸 Shooting tips: Avoid shooting at noon to avoid sun exposure (remember sunscreen!) and squinting in the bright sunlight. Choose morning or evening for softer lighting and better shadow effects. 💗 Finally, I hope you all get beautiful photos.
