The mountains don't come to me, so I go to them
Sisters preparing to go to Tibet must make a good travel plan before setting off.
Tibet is really beautiful, with fewer tourists and many scenic spots open for free, so the cost of visiting Tibet this winter is really low.
My gear: suitcase + backpack
ID card, student card and other discount documents, as well as a border pass (the tour group will help with this), driving license (needed for self-driving). Warm fuzzy hat, hardshell jacket, down jacket, lightweight sports shoes, sunglasses, disposable bitter apricot kernels, face towels, travel-sized toiletries, emulsion, body lotion, sunscreen.
Rhodiola, glucose, cold medicine, power bank, charger, various snacks, and about 200 yuan in small change
My friend and I spent about 8 days in Tibet. We spent 6 days with a tour group visiting attractions outside Lhasa. We joined a local Tibetan travel agency's small group tour. It was an all-inclusive package, including accommodation, meals, driver, insurance, attraction tickets, drone aerial photography, oxygen, etc. Overall, it was very good; the driver was easy to talk to, and the others in the group were all around the same age and very friendly. There was a lot of time on the road, but everyone chatted and shared snacks together, and we also discussed photo poses for the next scenic spot. It's very suitable for someone like me. Well, if you're going with a group, you must ask about the other participants, really, being with people of the same age is more enjoyable.
Accommodation suggestion: Staying near Barkhor Street is indeed a very convenient choice, it's easy to get anywhere. Also, don't stay in hotels with diffuse oxygen supply; it's not necessary. If you really feel uncomfortable, just stay in one with oxygen supply. If you're on a tight budget, staying in a hostel is also a good choice, but you should look around more.
About altitude sickness: Stop aerobic exercise in advance, and don't get too excited when you first arrive in Lhasa, and you should be fine. Glucose, Snickers, and cola can help alleviate symptoms. Oxygen is available for sale in the city, 15-20 yuan is normal. Trains have diffuse oxygen supply available.
Other suggestions: It's really comfortable when the sun is out during the day, three layers of clothing are usually enough, but you need to add more in the morning and evening. Also, no matter when you come to Tibet, you must prepare warm clothing. A hat is definitely necessary.
The altitude of the Nyingchi line is lower, while the Everest line is higher. If your physical condition allows, you must go to Everest to see the sunrise on the golden mountain.
The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is steep, strange, and the water quality is strange. Although the tickets for Yusong Island are more expensive, it is worth it! The beach on the island is delicate and there is a coffee shop where you can have afternoon tea for free.
The time was not right, the river was turbid, and I didn't meet the peach blossoms in March, but I still felt the magnificence of the Yarlung Zangbo River on the book. The first stop of the sightseeing bus is actually a good viewing spot on Nanga Bawa Peak, but it still depends on luck if you want to see the panoramic view.
Very shocking! Yarlung Zangbo River big turn! The first section of the shuttle bus will have a local tour guide to receive and make a brief introduction, and then.....! The photo of Nanga Bawa Peak is the best to take pictures in the third section of the attraction, and the second section is also OK. The fourth section of the Yarlung Zangbo River is really magnificent, the water volume is really large, shocking, it is recommended here!
I feel that the most memorable thing about visiting the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is the landscape along the way, wetlands, the intersection of the two rivers, sand dunes, the white clouds hanging on the mountainside, Nanga Bawa Peak Snow Mountain, etc., the scenery is beautiful. Really to the bottom of the valley, I can't see the deep danger of the Grand Canyon in the United States, and I can't see the water flow as rapid as Hukou Waterfall after the river narrows.
The peach blossoms in Sosong Village are the most beautiful peach blossoms. They really deserve their reputation. Qingming caught up with the best flowering period. It was really beautiful. However, unfortunately, there is a lot of rain in spring, and I can't see the Nanga Bawa Peak. I will definitely find a chance to visit the Rizhao Jinshan in Nanga Bawa in winter.
In the morning, Master Ma came to pick up and drop off to the Yarlung Zangbo River. The scenery along the way was very good. Master Ma also helped explain and stopped to let us take pictures. It was very intimate. The package is also very favorable, praise, praise, recommended
Tickets for Suosong Village can also be used on the south bank, and the tickets can be kept. But you have to buy another 90 yuan per person sightseeing ticket (the south bank is divided into four stations, the fourth station is where the essence is, and the others are floating clouds). The development of Suosong Village is very good, barbecue milk tea coffee and beef hot pot beauty plateau bungye di should be sprinkled, better than the development of the small town of Lulang! Worth a visit!
