How to play in Shannan
Today I summarize some specific ways to play in Shannan. It can be roughly divided into two days, four days and seven days.
1. Two days tour mainly to Lamaze as the representative attractions, visit the scenery along the first line of Jiacha.
2. Four days drama mainly to color Xiang, Pumuyongtso, Zhegu Tso. Four days is a small cycle, no turning back.
3. The seven-day play is a deep experience. This line, focusing on Pumuyongtso, Kaju Monastery, Baimalin Tso, Lebugou, a big circle around the whole Shannan area, wiping out most of the attractions in Shannan. The following details the specific lines of the three ways to play.
Transportation in Shannan
, Shannan region traffic conditions are mainly oil roads, the southern part of the region also has some dirt roads. So if you go for a driving tour, it is recommended that you can travel smoothly in the northern region. However, in the southern region, due to the complexity and variability of road conditions, dirt roads, and occasional mudslides and landslides occur in the summer, it is not recommended to go on a self-driving tour. Although the scenery is beautiful, safety comes first. So if you plan to go deeper into the south, it is recommended to join a local group. After all, these drivers in local tours are very experienced and know the roads well. If you want to hitchhike, my personal advice is to give up this idea. After all, the transportation is not well developed and some places are cold. It's still a bit risky. While traveling is an experience, it is not an adventurous and painful one.
Accommodation as well as medical care in Shannan
Accommodation in Zedang Town (now Shannan City), the seat of the Shannan Regional Administration, is good. There are several four-star hotels, but conditions in the county are worse than in Linzhi and Shigatse. Basically, they are standard rooms in ordinary hotels with average environment. In case of the tourist season, you may not be able to book a room because the number of hotels is limited. People should be prepared to travel to Shannan. Medical conditions are average, it is recommended that you prepare some common medicines and simple medical equipment in advance.
About Border License
Shannan region is located at the border, and many places need to apply for a border license. You must be prepared in advance before departure.
Counties that require a border license: Loza, Zilong, Qunar and Qunar.
The best time to travel in Shannan
Since Shannan is close to Lhasa, the climate is basically similar to Lhasa, and March-October every year is the best time to travel in Shannan. There is rain at night, and those traveling should pay attention to road conditions to prevent natural disasters such as mudslides and landslides. Every year from June, the azaleas in Lebugou Scenic Area open competitively. It is recommended that you try to go to Lebugou to choose this time. Rapeseed flowers bloom around August. Peach blossoms in Nanshan will bloom around April every year, a little later than Linzhi. You can refer to these time points to make your own travel plan.
