Second, the first time into Tibet, the more ideal or by train from Xining to Golmud, and then by Golmud through the Qinghai-Tibet line by car to Lhasa. This is because the Yunnan-Tibet line, the new Tibet line, Sichuan-Tibet line have too many uncertainties, some places even do not pass the bus, can only take the truck forward.
Three, in Golmud do not go to buy the following items: 1) oxygen pillow or oxygen canisters. 2) Rhodiola rosea oral liquid, capsules or glucose oral solution. This is because I have seen every buy oxygen pillow people are not because of lack of oxygen and suck with, they tend to Tibet with cumbersome, throw away and do not want to (60 align = 70 yuan / a), only a few suck with, but also in order to reduce a little bit of oxygen, you can comfortably cushion under the head as a pillow. As for rhodiola rosea, temporary eat a little is not much effect, and plateau reaction, adapt to a few days will pass.
Four, in Golmud can buy some appetizing fruit and bread for dry food, but also must be prepared for mineral water. The first time into Tibet, plateau reaction will certainly have, all the way to eat, even if eat down is also very easy to vomit, this time fruit is really good thing.
Fifth, must be accompanied by the following medicines: cold medicine, antidiarrheal drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, band-aid. You must remember: colds are not terrible, and not as bad as the legendary cold is likely to die, but to take medicine in time to control. (In our party, several people have had colds and fevers, but because of timely medication, all safe and sound.
Sixth, in Golmud by car, it is best to take the state-run sleeper car, across the street from the train station. Every day at four o'clock in the afternoon, 170 yuan for the top bunk, 180 yuan for the bottom bunk. Private car 130 align=140 yuan, but more dangerous. The blankets on the sleeper cars are dirty, and you won't want to cover them at first, but by evening when it's cooler, you won't be able to.
Seven, parking must go to the toilet, whether or not there is no diarrhea desire, because the next stopping point may be four or five hours later. Most of the parking spots don't have toilets at all, so it's not difficult for men to solve the problem on the spot, but when it comes to an emergency, women are not an exception, which is what I have seen with my own eyes.
Eight, along the way do not have to wash your face and brush your teeth. Water is in short supply, there may be a boss lady to greet you, if you really want to wash up, she will remind you to pay 3 yuan.
nine, to Lhasa is generally 12:00 align=3:00 in the middle of the night, you can first live in the bus station guest house overnight. Don't believe what just into Tibet can't take a bath or too oxygen-depleting and other nonsense, that's the airplane into Tibet people say. After four days and nights of train and car travel, not bathing should stink. There is a bath in a triple room for 30 yuan per person.
Ten, the next day you can move to eight Langxue hostel, or Jiri Hotel, or Snowland Hotel, where there are like-minded friends, easy to find fellow travelers. Eight Langxue: double room 70 yuan, 30 yuan per person in a triple room, 25 yuan per person in a quadruple room, 10 yuan per person in a bunk, laundry is free, 24-hour hot water.
Eleven, Lhasa must play at: the Potala Palace, Dazhao Temple, small Zhao Temple, Drepung Monastery, Loblinca, Bajiao Street. Dazhao Temple evening to eight open hall, can feel the extraordinary religious atmosphere. Go to Tibet to play alone Lhasa is too meaningless, every money to take the airplane people can come and go as they please. In my opinion, play well after Lhasa can go to Shigatse, and then go to Tingri to see Mount Everest and Yamdrok Lake, and then go to Namucuo Lake to see, or to go to Jiangzi to see the ruins of ZongShan, BaiJu Temple and Para Manor. And Zashilunbu Temple in Rikaze is the one to go to no matter what.
Twelve, Lhasa can take the shuttle bus to Rikaze. In Rikaze can look for specialized car rental agency agency, which is cheaper than looking for travel agencies and hotels. (Travel agencies and hotels earn you at least one-third more.) Generally in Lhasa, you can post a note to find friends in the same direction. In Shigatse rent buggy per kilometer 3.2 align = 3.5 yuan. (Go directly to the driver, there is no agency fee.
Thirteen, about Tibetan jewelry: the so-called Tibetan silver is white copper, wearing a hand will be black, there will be copper odor, Tibetan compatriots themselves are not wearing, do not buy. (You can buy some of the pure silver, but the price is not expensive.) Tibetan knives are generally sold to tourists are very rough. Tibetans love to wear red coral and turquoise, but it's expensive if it's real. Instead, you can buy some dzi beads to wear, different textures have different meanings, but there are fakes, made of wood and plastic, but the weight is light and the texture is different. Good dzi beads have natural etchings.
Fourteenth, if you go to see Mount Everest, you must be prepared to suffer. Stuck in the car is a common occurrence, remind the driver and help to explore the road, pad stone, push the car is your responsibility must be. At this point, unity is strength, have a point of force on a point of force it, but have to be careful, don't get your shoes stuck in the mud.
Fifteen, ghee tea half of the people are not accustomed to drink, you can taste a little less, if the line, that is very helpful to you to supplement your energy, if not, change to drink milk tea, sweet, really good. Breakfast can eat rice with buns or noodles, lunch and dinner will make up to eat some Sichuan cuisine, quite a lot, the flavor is not good. Wine can be drunk, but less is better.
Sixteen, where the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, the morning to wear more, hot on the off, the wind blowing on the mountain and cool, then put on again, do not be afraid of trouble, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold. Tent and moisture-proof pads with very little opportunity, you can not have to bring. If you want to sleep on your own quilt, bring a sleeping bag.
Seventeen, such a circle down, from the departure to the end is also almost twelve align=15 days, physical exertion is almost, go back to take the airplane. Lhasa fly Chengdu's most airplanes, two classes a day, 1200 yuan / person. Lhasa to Gonggar Airport 120 yuan cab fare can find fellow travelers to share.
Want to go to Tibet friends, you if so walk through Tibet, you will have your own heart of Tibet, where there is a blue sky, there are white clouds, there are your own hardships and gains. Maybe, you will never forget it in your life; maybe, you still want to go again. So, next time let's go together to turn the sacred mountains and holy lakes. Gangrenpoqi Mountain and Marbunyongtso Lake have been lying there quietly for thousands of years. The mountains are high and the road is dangerous, let us say to each other: Zaxi Dele, a safe journey!
