Is the infrastructure in Tibet poor?
Many people think that Tibet is a relatively backward place, and people often come to know what the situation in Tibet is like. In fact, there are not many conditions in most parts of Tibet.
1, network
At present, most counties in Tibet have covered 4G networks, so don't worry about slow network speed or no signal. There are basically signals on the roads in Linzhi area, but sometimes there are E networks and 3G networks. In Ali area, there will be no signal and network on the road. Border areas, except cities, will be even worse.
2. Mobile payment
Another problem is that people can't pay by mobile phone now, and it is inconvenient for many people to bring cash, so there is no need to worry about going to Tibet. Cities and tourist routes in Tibet can basically be paid by WeChat. You don't need to bring a lot of cash, but you need to prepare some spare ones. Generally, 500- 1000 yuan can get sunburn. However, people still need to prepare some small change. In many places in Tibet, there is a charge for going to the toilet, which is about 1-2 yuan.
In fact, some big cities in Tibet now have complete accommodation, catering, shopping, hospitals, parks and other facilities, just like other cities in China, especially Lhasa, Shigatse, Linzhi and Qamdo, such as some high-end hotels, shopping malls, various restaurants and many places with ethnic characteristics. When you go there, you should have a good visit.
Food, shelter and transportation in Tibet
1. Supplies
As for Tibetan food, in fact, apart from Sichuan food, there is still a basic food in some major cities, but in some remote places, there are only Sichuan food and noodles. I suggest you go to Tibet to taste the flavor of local Tibetan food.
stay behind
Accommodation facilities in major cities are still very complete, ranging from high-end four-and five-star hotels to low-end hotels, inns and youth tours. There are also ordinary hotels, inns and guest houses in remote areas. The slightly more difficult place is the Everest base camp (Tibetan tent Datong store, Namtso (prefabricated houses are crowded, parts of Ali and border areas, remote areas (Tibetan tents or prefabricated houses are crowded).
3. Road conditions
The main highways in Tibet are: Sichuan-Tibet National Highway 3 18, Xinjiang-Tibet National Highway 2 19 and Qinghai-Tibet National Highway 109. These three roads are the cavity of traveling to Tibet. There are many national roads, county roads and township roads in many areas. At present, parking oil channels have been repaired in many places, and they are slowly being repaired in remote areas. The roads around Lhasa, Linzhi and most parts of Ali have been particularly good.
Therefore, the environment in Tibet is still very good. If you travel, it's not as bad as you think. There is nothing wrong with basic daily life, so don't worry too much.
