Tibet is the paradise of the travelers, is a sacred and noble country. All the people who have been there will have a kind of "once the Sheep Lake is difficult for the water, in addition to the South Peak is not a cloud" sigh. After the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, more people have the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of the plateau, to go there to banish their souls and find the most sincere solace of the soul. Tourism in Tibet is generally divided into several tourist regions, including Lhasa city area, Nagchu area, Linzhi area, Shannan area, Rikaze area and Ali area. Each region has its own unique natural and humanistic landscapes, *** with the same composition of Tibet's magnificent and bizarre tourism style. Let's go into the exciting journey of Tibet, from the "food, accommodation and entertainment, travel, purchase and travel" six aspects to provide you with a professional authoritative Tibet travel strategy.
Lhasa
Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region, known as the "City of Light", is located in the middle valley plain of the beautiful Lhasa River, a tributary of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, with an altitude of 3,658 meters. In the 7th century A.D., Songtsen Gampo unified all of Tibet, shifted the political center from Shannan to Lhasa, established the powerful Tubo slave dynasty, and built temples and palaces such as the Da Zhao Monastery, the Xiao Zhao Monastery and the original Potala Palace. The best season for traveling to Lhasa is concentrated in July, August and September, when the temperature in Lhasa city is around 25 degrees -30 degrees, the sunlight is strong and the air is dry. There are three things you need to pay special attention to: adapting to plateau reaction, sun protection and moisturizing. Rhodiola rosea and cold medicine and de-flaming medicine should be necessary, 25F or more sunscreen, sunglasses, moisturizing lip balm must be (dry lips, nostrils dry is the most common physical problems).
Transportation to Lhasa. There are three types of transportation to Lhasa: plane, train and bus. The advantage of taking an airplane to Lhasa is that it saves time and allows you to enjoy the snow-capped mountains from the air in all directions. The disadvantage is that it is not conducive to adapt to the plateau reaction and the airfare is relatively expensive. But this year, the air tickets to Lhasa are more favorable.
The train to Lhasa has become more people's first choice, and is also the author's key recommendation. One is because the Qinghai-Tibet Railway itself is a great masterpiece of mankind, can personally ride this train traveling on the roof of the world, along the way to enjoy the northern Tibetan grasslands, Jade Peak snow-capped mountains, Wrong Na Lake, and see with their own eyes in the uninhabited area of Coco Sicily running wild asses, the Tibetan antelope in the air, as well as the green railway for the management of permafrost and wind used in the barrier of hot rods and stone children, and that due to the pressure of the small bulge in the sealing bag, which is all a unique experience. The wonders are all unique experiences. That's why I extremely recommend that comrades with more time and less full pockets take the train to Lhasa. Of course, you can also take the coach, Chongqing to Lhasa coach is also every other day, its along the Qinghai-Tibetan Highway will arrive in Lhasa 72 hours after the ticket price of about 600 yuan. Chengdu is almost the same price. People usually start from Golmud to do the car, because the plateau scenery from Golmud to start slowly unfolded. From Golmud to Lhasa bus tickets were 210 yuan (sleeper), 180 yuan (large passenger), 210 yuan (small passenger), the price will sometimes fluctuate slightly. The trip is 30 - 40 hours, every morning and noon each send a bus. In addition to this, some cowboy donkeys will choose to ride bicycles and hike. Both will be a test of will and stamina.
Transportation within Lhasa is also very convenient:
1. Taxi: 10 yuan for all within the city, to go to distant places need to bargain, no meter.
2. bus: the city passenger transportation to the main bus, to several major attractions can take the bus, near and far all 2 yuan.
3. Pedicabs: stop, bargaining, generally 3-6 yuan.
Lhasa accommodation: this year's Tibet's tourism is very hot, all kinds of hotel prices are rising. Cheaper youth hostels are mainly eight Langxue Hotel, Jiri Hotel, Ya Hotel, Longda Josa Hotel, Snowland Hotel and so on. Most of them are concentrated in Beijing East Road. Suzhou Road has a lot of hotels, the price is also very cheap, but away from the attractions first on a little far. Small zhaosi street also has a lot of family hotel, such as wonderful auspicious, etc., the price and the environment are worth going. Among them, eight Langxue hotel, Ji Ri hotel can provide free laundry, free storage services. The price is not too high, usually about 15 yuan per bed in low season and 30 yuan per bed in high season. Myojixiang can take a shower and also have internet access. Higher prices for the Asian hotels and snowy hotels, mostly foreign self-guided tourists to stay.
In the peak season, the Balaung School Hotel, Jiri Hotel, sub-hotel accommodation is tighter, you can look at other hotels to stay. If you stay in Lhasa longer donkeys, you can choose to rent a room, in the Suzhou Road and Lhasa River near the road and the Lin Lang Road have houses for rent, the price is the peak season 700-1000 about a month, off-season is very cheap, three or four hundred, one or two hundred are there.
Lhasa food and drink: tsampa, ghee tea, yak meat, Tibetan noodles, sweet tea, barley wine can be said to be the characteristics of the Tibetan region, as the depth of self-help travelers, sweet tea houses throughout Tibet, is a must-visit place. There, you can taste the authentic Tibetan noodles, sweet tea, but also feel the warm atmosphere of the Tibetans, which is not comparable to any other place in the mainland. If you still want to further taste Tibetan food, you can go to the Arocang Restaurant next to the Da Zhao Monastery, there are a variety of authentic Tibetan food for you to choose from, but the price is higher and most people are not used to eating, such as air-dried beef and tsampa. To my surprise, ghee tea is sold by the warmer, a small warmer $3 a large warmer $4. Tibetan noodles range from $3 - $4. The yak meat is really good. That's a bistro price.
The following places are more upscale, you can choose to go and see:
1. Tibetan flavors: located in Beijing East Road, Jiri Hotel's mad cow Tibetan food and the west end of the Potala Palace, the Snow Palace Tibetan food authentic features.
2. Nepalese flavor: is located in the Tibetan Hospital Road, No. 4, north of the Great Zhaoji Square, the snowy restaurant in an elegant environment, good taste.
3. Chinese food: mainly concentrated in the western suburbs, mainly Sichuan flavor, but also special snacks, such as jade buns.
4. Cafes: Barkhor Café and Bajiao Street, located in the Barkhor Square side of the Showa Monastery Café and the Maggie Ammi has a variety of chic drinks and Western food, very moody, and inside are equipped with Internet cafes.
5. Entertainment: Nightclubs are concentrated in the western suburbs, and Tibetan-style ronma dance halls are found everywhere.
The Peak Disco on Jiangsu Road is particularly worth a trip to Lhasa. Lhasa downtown has many tourist attractions. And is a lot of is on behalf of the essence of Tibetan culture
1. Potala Palace
Potala Palace is located in Beijing Road, open every day 09:00-12:30 15:00-18:00 visit time shall be more than 2 hours. But the opening time after more than 1 hour, basically no longer sell tickets. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday is the day of Tibetan pilgrimage to the Buddha, a lot of people. You can also take the car directly from the back door to the top, visit the front door down, more labor-saving. Tickets should be bought a day in advance and cost 100 yuan. Student tickets are 70 yuan. This red and white palace, located on top of a hill, straight into the clouds, whether under the blue sky and white clouds or at night when the lights are on, this palace is beautiful and the most expensive you can not imagine, as if this is not from the earth's building. Every time I pass by it, I always ask myself, this is a miracle from where to fall down.
2, Dazhao Temple
Dazhao Temple, located in Luban Road, from the Potala Palace along the Beijing Road to the east, in the Dangerous Forest intersection south turn, down the Dangerous Forest Road to walk 10 minutes.

Ticket price: 70 not sell student tickets. Inside is not allowed to take pictures. Go to Tibet must be in front of the gate of the Great Zhao Temple quietly sit for a few hours. Here is the center of the Tibetan faith, every devout kowtow long head of the focus of the people is here, every Tibetan soul trust. Here, men and women, young and old, rich and poor, are all believers in Buddha. Here, on top of every stone that is polished by the pilgrims with their physical hands and cheeks, is a most sincere and simple as well as awe-inspiring faith. There is no place that can be compared with the gate of the Great Show Monastery, where the history of Tibet has been frozen for hundreds of years as in front of this second. Whether or not believe in Buddhism, come here everyone, at this time, the heart has been comforted. I remember I walked into the Da Zhao Temple, a master from Sichuan around the believers listening to his sermon, I turned clockwise, and back to the original place, looking up at the Sakyamuni 12-year-old equivalent of the golden statue, I suddenly especially want to cry. Unnamable pain came from the bottom of my heart, and I seemed to feel that life was a journey of immense suffering, and that only here could my soul be liberated. At that moment, I believed in the power of all faith. To this day, the shock still lingers in my heart.
3, Baling Street.
From the Da Zhao Temple out of the street is the famous eight corridor street. Clockwise around the eight corridor street stroll, there are a wide range of all kinds of Tibetan jewelry, although the price has been cheaper than the mainland a lot, but you can still cut the price. General one-third of the asking price can be, and that is, if you return the price is not to buy is very dangerous, will incur curses and even curses. So, do not buy can never just pay back the price ah, but the streets on both sides of the store does not matter. Here there are beautiful thangka and a variety of Tibetan, Indian and Nepalese goods, cordyceps and saffron can also buy some, than the mainland at least five times cheaper ah.
