Remember when people used to tease Tibet to go is a look, out of Tibet is a look, at the time look is funny, but in order to go to a trip to Tibet, change the look is also worth it. The reason for this is because your sunscreen isn't good enough.
TransportationNo matter which province or city you fly to Tibet from, there is only one Gonggar Airport in Tibet. This airport is a military and civilian dual-use airport, does not allow photography, China's aviation industry in recent years, the rapid development of J-10, J-11 fighter jets, and more high-end fighter jets are parked here, all the military aircraft to take pictures of the customer will be the airport camera to see, and then embarrassed you will be asked to take to the airport security room to ask, check ID cards, delete the content of cell phone photos which is the plot of the relatively light, the heavier is detained and fined.
As if it is the highway to heaven as far as the eye can see Gongga Airport is very small, if someone has been to Lijiang Airport will know, a very small airport. Out of the airport gate, the door is parked from the Gongga Airport to Lhasa city bus, 30 yuan a person, people full of instantly on the go. Basically a flight down there are 100-200 people, without having to wait to buy tickets on the bus, more than 1 hour to Lhasa city.
If you have to choose the shuttle on the website, the cost is about 200 yuan, if you want to take a taxi from the airport, the driver will not only pull you one person, he wants to carpool, carpooling a person ranging from 50-80 yuan, you need to cut the price with the driver. Time is also more than 1 hour to Lhasa city center. Personally, I suggest that the airport bus is more cost-effective.
Airport bus 1 hour 15 minutes or so to the city, and then parked in the 'Potala Palace' next street of the Civil Aviation Administration of the passenger vehicle parking area. After getting off the bus, go out and walk straight to the right for 50 meters to Beijing Middle Road, and then turn to the right for 5 minutes is the famous 'Potala Palace' square, you can see the Potala Palace. The same as Beijing Tiananmen Square, to the Potala Palace Square first to go through the security check.
Tibet food and accommodationThere is more than just ghee tea in Tibet. People from all provinces and cities have opened stores in Tibet, especially Sichuan flavor restaurants, snack stores, noodle stores are all over the street. In addition there is a famous eating street, all are eating. If you get to the hotel as long as you live in the city, you can order takeout online, the courier boy will be very enthusiastic to send you, which shows that China's courier development is good, even Lhasa is full of couriers.
On the main city of Lhasa bus and taxi costs: buses 1 yuan coin, from 1 to 24 Road, respectively, interspersed with the whole city of Lhasa and suburban areas, on the car 1 yuan want to sit a few stops sit a few stops. The city taxi basically a case of 10 yuan, more than 10 yuan is already out of the city of Lhasa to add charges.
West gate of the Potala Palace White Pagoda on the accommodation: here from more than 1,000 star hotels to more than 100 small hotels are available. Live can be booked in advance in the website: where to go, Ctrip.com, Touniu.com and other sites. The key is not to choose expensive hotels, not to choose the website rating better hotel, but to choose from the attractions close to the hotel, such as how far from the Potala Palace? How far away from the Showa Temple? to refer to the accommodation of the sprinkler, of course, the cost, there is more ability to send more light it, not necessarily live in five-star really comfortable, not necessarily live in two or three hundred will not be able to sleep.
about the networkThe whole Tibet area including Lhasa city area, mobile only 3G network, out of the city there are many places 3G network are not, telecom and Unicom estimates are also so. Potala Palace, the Red Palace has network shielding. In the Red Palace near all brands of cell phones and network operators have no network.
Potala Palacethere are 13 floors of buildings, currently open 12 floors, there is still a layer of the golden roof is not open to the public. Potala Palace tickets should be booked two days in advance of the e-tickets, otherwise it can not be booked. E-tickets booked above will have to visit the time, theoretically: from the door to the first check the electronic tickets, the second check the electronic tickets need 20-40 minutes of travel (including photography); the third time with the electronic tickets in exchange for a real ticket is considered to be able to enter the visit. Potala to receive the Palace tickets retail 300 yuan a, travel agencies to buy the cheapest 215 a; where the tourists with the group into the Potala Palace, electronic tickets to exchange for real tickets swept through the two-dimensional code to enter the Red Palace, the visit time is only 1 hour, 1 hour after the must be withdrawn. If private tourists can be unlimited time. Because the red palace are worth even gold made of Buddha, stupa, and a variety of rubies, jade inlaid in the stupa and Buddha, not allowed to take pictures, not allowed to wear hats, not allowed to bring sunglasses, to show respect for the statue of Buddha.
The Potala Palace night photos of the various halls are installed inside many cameras, all people go in is under the watchful eye of the camera. The entire visit time is expected from the main door into the back door out 2.5 hours. It is not recommended that individuals buy tickets to visit, there is no one to explain, went in only to walk around, but also easy to get confused about the location, no one to lead the team like entering a maze, and the Potala Palace no way back, went in can only go all the way, I do not know the road can only talk to the tour guide, but you did not pay the money to the guide, the guide will be very nonchalant and tell you: "Please do not follow my group, otherwise I want to charge."
DazhaosiDazhaosi five Dalai horns began to build, is one of the most famous monasteries in Tibet, but also the most prosperous temple. Countless pilgrims every day, the ticket is 85 yuan; temple around the armed police armed patrol, need to security check, enter the temple to use ID cards plus tickets.
Normal itinerary of the whole temple from downstairs to upstairs to the second floor to stroll through 20 minutes; if there is a guide to explain, is expected to be 1 1/2 hours; with the benefits of the guide can listen to the history and the origin of each statue of Buddha. Not with the guide to their own string, basically can only see the Buddha to worship.
Dazhaosi Golden Peak Dazhaosi in the morning belongs to the Tibetans devoutly worship time, if the morning to visit the Dazhaosi, try not to follow the group, with the group belongs to the tourists, and burn incense incense guests with the same road different treatment, the incense guests can go into the house to burn incense, the tourists were separated by the isolation line can only be far away from the look, can not be up close and personal worship of the Buddha. During the day belongs to the tourists to visit the time, some important gold to build the Buddha statue is not open, the door of the house is locked, can only stand in the door to see.
If you want to make a wish, or to worship the Buddha devoutly, it is recommended to go in the morning, follow the incense to go in, and then at the door there is a small kettle selling ghee, which is filled with ghee. The lamp oil inside the Da Zhao Temple is all ghee lighted, rather than the mainland incense oil. Pouring the wrong incense oil is expected to put out the wick.
Additionally, countless Tibetans at the entrance of the Da Zhao Temple are here to worship and kowtow, and then some villages to come inside the barley grain to do tribute. Look at their pious kowtow, prostrate on the ground, and then climb up and kneel down to repeat the action, the heart is shocked.
Small Showa TempleSmall Showa Temple is much smaller than the size of the Great Showa Temple, incense is not as strong as the Great Showa Temple. Basically, if interested in people can visit after the big Zhao Temple to spend ten minutes and then go to the small Zhao Temple, the distance between the two temples: small Zhao Temple in the back of the big Zhao Temple, along the sidewalk backward, on the footbridge across the middle of Beijing, and then go straight up. From the Da Zhao Temple to the small Zhao Temple walk about 10 minutes.
Small Showa Temple enshrined in the statue of God, legend has it that Princess Wencheng went to Tibet when she brought the dowry, there are more than 1300 years of history. About Princess Wencheng can be inserted a few sentences: Princess Wencheng in fact is not a princess, is Li Shimin's uncle Li Daozong's daughter, about Li Daozong this person said the Tang novel Xue Rengui East to portray him as a treacherous, in fact, the people is a big loyal minister. Princess Wencheng Chinese name: Li Hongyan, later was enthroned as Princess Wencheng, and then married to the Tibetan Tubo Songtsen Gampo. Songtsen Gampo for the Tubo Dynasty 33rd Zanpou, later known as the "Tibetan Dharma King," the halls have statues for worship.

If a day a round trip, 6:30 in the morning to start, arrive at Namtso Lake when nearly 12:40 or so, play 1 hour or 2 hours to return to Lhasa city is basically about 19:00 in the afternoon.
Namtso's water quality is very good many people choose 'Namtso' two-day tour, the first day to Namtso, camping at night in Namtso lake, here at night because away from the city and light pollution, the sky stars one by one to count clearly. If you have a better red ring DSLR camera, or astronomical glasses, the night in Namtso to shoot the starry sky is a good choice, the next morning to shoot the morning sun scenery is also very beautiful.
Namtso tickets directly buy 58 yuan, if it is with the group from Lhasa need about 228 yuan, mainly including bus transportation costs, no guide, does not contain Chinese food.
Arrived at Namtso lake tour, if you want to take pictures with the lake yak, you have to first talk to the yak master price, from 100 yuan to 20 yuan can be negotiated. Tibetans ask for 100 yuan a person to take pictures, some cut the price into 80, some 50, cut the best 20 yuan, because the place did not specify the price of riding a yak photo, so the Tibetans indiscriminate pricing. In addition, if you do not have the consent of the Tibetans to take pictures of their yaks, it will cause a dispute.
Tanggula mountain range time planningThe first day to Tibet many people will have plateau reaction, it is recommended not to go out, first rest a good night, the next day to go out.

The first day to the first hotel rest.

The above itinerary is exclusively for people who come to Tibet by airplane, and if they are self-driving, it's a different story. Each province has many interesting places, if you have to go all over a province, it will take ten days and half a month, right? I'm afraid someone with a civil service position wouldn't have that many days and wouldn't be able to have that much freedom!
The Potala Palace, the Red Palace, a trip to write here is nearing its end.
Many people because of income reasons, or a variety of family responsibilities can not take the leg, and finally although the idea of walking, when the final did not realize.

Q&A TimeTransportation to Tibet
One, there is enough time, you can choose to take a train to Lhasa at Xining Railway Station, which takes 1 day, and the whole Tibetan Plateau's highlights are here. (Trains from all over the country into Tibet have to come to Xining, and then in Xining - Lhasa), along the way to watch: Coco Sicily, the northern Tibetan prairie, Nyingchi-Tanggula Mountain and other majestic attractions, the train ticket is not expensive, the hard sleeper 495 / Zhang.
Time: about 20 hours
Two, airplanes, in fact, now plane tickets are really cheap, staggered every year Tibet's tourist season (May-October), the air ticket to Lhasa is also five or six hundred fast, May-October
Tourist season, airfare is more expensive, basically economy class full price tickets, round-trip tickets to Chengdu/Chongqing as a list, basically in the 2500 (non-cheap small airlines), but the airplane is good at saving time.
Three, driving (carpooling/chartering), whether you are off-road vehicles, sedans, commercial vehicles, now go to Tibet's road can only be described in one sentence that is too good to be true, Alto can be on, so what car is not important. Costs, for example, 318, Chengdu - Lhasa, the whole line 2100KM, toll 200 (Chengdu - Ya'an only) fuel cost depends on what you car, the general off-road vehicle counted down to 1 yuan 1 kilometer.
So the cost you can estimate the calculation, a car 4 people, apportionment is the best, and then 2 old drivers to take turns driving, want to park wherever you want.
Then it is within the Tibetan area of the chartered car rental car, then, the price is not expensive, the regular tourist car are calculated by kilometers, so there are small partners, then together, no small partners can choose to carpool Oh
four, cycling (bicycle, motorcycle) this kind of people are very strong, y admire, very time-consuming, need strong willpower
five, hiking, now it is very good. Basically hiking + hitchhiking, young is good.
Tibet poor
1. where there are rich, where there are poor
2. Tibet side of the people, depending on what the place, like some of the inconvenient places, has not been developed into a tourist attraction, and even the road in and out of the road is not there, you say that place people can be rich?
3. You said that your classmates in Tibet, spend a lot of money, buy things do not look at the price, eat not finished also casually thrown, indicating that the two points of a poor, have not had a poor day, and by the family and the beauty of the community education is relatively small, do not know that the money's hard-won,
4. Don't look down on some farmers in Tibet, who every year go up the mountain to dig up all kinds of Cordyceps to sell a variety of Tibetan medicines, one year of good luck, digging more, also is a good thing, the number of people who have a good time. Good, digging more, is also not a bandit income, in addition, if their local if the road is good, beautiful scenery, all kinds of income, and government subsidies, in fact, they are more than our plains, most of the farmers are much richer
