Clothing: Tibet due to the high altitude, the overall temperature is lower than the mainland, especially in Namucuo and Everest camp should pay more attention. And 7-early September is basically the rainy season in Tibet, to mid-September, the weather will only clear, so more attention should be paid to keep warm, do not catch a cold. The whole body equipment, including tops, pants and shoes should be waterproof. In the rainy season, both Lhasa and Linzhi areas are rainy at night, while down jacket and fleece jacket and fleece pants, gloves and hats are essential. In Tibet, you must wear hiking shoes, firstly, some places have very poor road conditions to protect your feet, and secondly, hiking shoes are better in waterproof and warmth. Sleeping bag to bring, many places in Tibet accommodation is not very good, some beds are very dirty, sleeping in their own sleeping bag and warm, and health. Unless camping, otherwise, moisture-proof pads can not bring, slippers must be brought.
Food: Nowadays, Chinese restaurants in Tibet are basically opened by Sichuan people. Breakfast you can spend a few dollars in a small store to eat very full, lunch and dinner can be fried, the price is not too expensive. Lhasa *** there are 3 places is the main place to eat Chinese food, one is the western suburbs, that is, the yak bronze statue to the west of the area, which is not far from the Potala Palace, mainly to the Sichuan hot pot; the second place is the south of Nyange Road area, next to the Civil Aviation Ticketing Office, where there are also a few Szechuan restaurants can go to try. (Do not go to this road burger fast food, extremely difficult to eat); the third place is the middle of Beijing Road and Beijing East Road on the eight corridor learning hotel to the middle of the section of the Asian hotel, there are also several small Sichuan restaurant.
As for Tibet, Tibetan and Nepalese food, you can go to the Asian hotel's Gonla Meadow bar, Jiri hotel next to the strange cattle salon restaurant or Maggie Ami bar. And the Snow God Palace in front of the Potala Palace is one of the most upscale Tibetan restaurants in Lhasa. Tibetan food is famous for ghee tea, fried mutton chops, Tibetan buns, blood sausage dunking and yak meat stewed with radish, which you can try when you are in Lhasa, but many people are not accustomed to eating it.
Live: now Lhasa's most famous hotel is eight corridor learning, Ji Ri and Asia hotel, fame than other hotels are bigger, one is cheap, two is here you can find a partner with the chartered car, very convenient. These three hotels are in Beijing East Road, very close to each other, relatively speaking, Asia Hotel is the most expensive, and the eight corridor study due to the room is older, are boards separated, so the sound insulation equipment is poor, or recommended Ji Ri. All three hotels have free laundry, public **** bathrooms and public **** toilets. The only disadvantage of the eight corridor study is that the clothes are mixed together after washing, and you have to pick them yourself, while Jiri has a special bag for laundry, after washing, the waiter puts it in the bag and delivers it to your room.

Line: in Tibet travel costs and other places is more expensive, transportation costs account for the big head, especially the round-trip road costs. It is cheaper to take the local long-distance shuttle buses, but the attractions in Tibet are scattered, and the attractions are relatively far away from each other, so it is more cost-effective to charter a bus for 4-5 people, and share the bus fare. 3 backpacker hostels have a notice board in the door court, which can be posted with a message board, so that you can contact with the chartered bus matters.
Three-wheeled vehicles in Tibet start at 3 yuan, and 4-5 yuan in the farther reaches; cabs cost 10 yuan. (Drepung Monastery in Lhasa is 20 yuan for a taxi because it is farther away.)
This time I went to Jiangzi, Shigatse, Linzhi with 4 days, 4 people chartered, Toyota 62, 4,400 yuan, an average of 1,100 yuan per person. To Namucuo 2 days, 4 people chartered, Toyota 62, 1300 yuan, 325 yuan per person. To the National Day May 1, the price of the car will rise. Go to Shigatse plus Everest then will also be more expensive, package driver food, not packaged accommodation, go to the Everest region of the car need to pay the number of wheels according to the highway construction fee, each wheel 100 yuan, SUV 400 yuan, trucks to 600 yuan, in addition to each tourist has to pay 65 yuan scenic spot fee. Driver's license must be complete, this time to go to Linzhi, the road just encountered the car check, our driver master license are complete, but only he bought a car is a scrap car, Tibet regulations, a quarter need to apply for an extension of the scrapping procedures, his car has just expired September 20, need to apply for an extension of the scrapping procedures, he did not go to apply for, we are not clear about this kind of regulations, the result is that after being detected, we The captain of the traffic team was only willing to let us go after we were caught. The captain told us that most of the Toyota 62 in Tibet are scrapped cars, this point we later clear, must pay attention to this aspect of the matter, if you really do not let go, it can only be stuffed with a bit of red packet money, so that you can also pass.
Plateau reaction: plateau reaction is manifested as follows, headache, dizziness, excitement and insomnia, chest tightness, breathing faster, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal rise and so on. Before entering the plateau, should be well rested, do not be nervous and psychological pressure, avoid colds, prohibit smoking and alcohol, appropriate oral xiyangshen and eat rhodiola rosea a week earlier, to strengthen the resistance. If you enter the plateau by land, it is better to enter from Sichuan-Tibet line or Yunnan-Tibet line, and exit from Qinghai-Tibet line or New Tibet line, so that it will be better to adapt gradually from the low altitude to the high altitude; if you take an airplane, the plateau reaction will usually appear in the night or on the next day, so after arriving at Lhasa, you must rest sufficiently, don't let your guard down because you feel that it is fine at that time, and pay attention to warmth, and it's better to not take a bath just going to the place for a couple of days, so as to prevent the Colds. After arriving in Tibet, it is best to adapt to Lhasa for 1 or 2 days before going to farther places, so that there is a process of adaptation, and in the future journey, it will also provide a good state for your body. If plateau reaction unfortunately occurs during the journey, it should be handled in time, taking rhodiola rosea in time and inhaling oxygen in serious cases. If there is severe chest tightness, violent cough, difficulty in breathing, or unresponsive, or even coma, it should be promptly sent to the hospital for treatment or transferred to a lower altitude area. The bus into the plateau for a long time, the way to the poor accommodation, physical exertion, to prepare some medicines and water and drinks and easy to digest food, in order to timely replenishment of the body's necessary water and calories, eat more vegetables and fruits. If you can eat and sleep, and maintain an optimistic attitude, you will be able to overcome the plateau reaction.
Drugs: cold medicine (fever, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, Banlangen punch), trauma medicine (Yunnan Baiyao spray, band-aid, eye drops), nutritional drugs (multivitamins), to prevent plateau reaction (Qinghai or Tibet Pharmaceuticals out of Rhodiola rosea capsule), to remove the fire medicine (oxalis detoxification tablets, xiaosangju), gastrointestinal drugs (flupyphenic acid, morindin), lubricant, of which the banlangen punch and multivitamins, lubricant every day must eat! Vitamins, lozenges must be eaten every day, rhodiola rosea should also be eaten.
Other health issues: pay attention to warmth; bring sunglasses and sun hats; due to the Tibet tourism line on the dust is large, health conditions are not good, do not recommend taking contact eyes; bring wet tissues; just on the plateau when dry, easy to dry lips and nosebleeds, to drink more water, eat more lubricant tablets, with sunscreen, moisturizing lotion, moisturizing lip balm, nasal ointment, refreshing oil; in the highland areas, due to the climate and the journey's In the plateau area, due to the climate and travel fatigue, women's physiological cycle will often be disrupted, bring enough physiological hygiene products.
The problem of the border license: you need to apply for a border license to go to Everest, Zhangmu, Ali and some places in Linzhi area of Tibet. It is best to apply for a good in the hukou, now in Tibet for the border license is more difficult to apply for the border license can be in the hukou of the municipal public security bureau of the household registration section of my ID card and hukou for, fill out an application for a border license application form, the application for the reason to fill in the family visit, and to go to the location, fill in the Riqazhe area, Ali, Linzhi, Shannan area can be, the time for processing is not long, usually the same day can be picked up. It doesn't take long to process, and you can usually pick it up the same day. You can take your passport with you, and you don't need to apply for a border guard certificate.
Internet cafes: Tibet's standard of living is now increasing, Internet cafes are everywhere, large areas have no problem accessing the Internet, the cost of Internet access is generally in the 4 yuan / 5 yuan an hour, only some Internet cafes are still a little slow.
Telecommunications: Nowadays, China Telecom and mobile communications have no big problems in the big cities of Tibet, while Unicom has a little problem.
Banks and ATMs: It's best to bring enough cash to go, ATMs in Lhasa, CCB has a network, the postal green card is also better, but still recommended to bring cash, because all the way through the poor countryside is impossible to get money. In addition, more change some loose money, you can give the temple to give alms and to the old man begging, Tibet does not accept coins. ; Loplingka: 25 yuan; Drepung Monastery 25 yuan; Sera Monastery 35 yuan; Tibet Museum 30 yuan; Longwangtan Park 3 yuan; Namucuo 45 yuan; Yangbajing hot springs outside 20 yuan, inside 30 yuan;

Linzhi:
Basongtso 50 yuan; World cypress king garden 10 yuan; Linzhi-Lhasa on the way there is a can unnecessarily get off the attractions of the mainstay 5 yuan;
Ticket evasion problem:
Potala Palace to escape the ticket is more difficult.
Drepung Monastery opening time 9:00-16:00; before 9:00 in the morning for Tibetans open to the Buddha, 8:00 o'clock to go, you can go with the Tibetans into, without having to buy a ticket, but some of the temple is not open, inside and so on there will be gained, do not forget to donate some incense money.
Dazhao Temple open time 9:00-16:00, the morning basic for Tibetans open, open to tourists in the afternoon, 8:00 in the morning, you can also escape, and the second floor of the temple are open, the only drawback is that the Tibetans are very much in need of queuing up to visit, there is a way to avoid, and the lama said that you want to go to open the lama will generally be very accommodating to let You directly stride into, hee hee, go in to visit it, but there are still a lot of people, it is estimated that you can only follow everyone around. In the afternoon to go to the Golden Roof of the Da Zhao Temple is open, but the second floor of the Buddha's temple is not open, and fewer people, the Buddha's temple is relatively clean, and the lama check the ticket is more stringent, at your own discretion, don't forget to donate some incense money.
Tibetan temples are usually open in the morning to the Tibetans on the Buddha, if you go earlier, followed by them into, the chances of escaping a bit more, while the afternoon is usually to escape the ticket will be more stringent, however, it is rare to go to a time, if the economy permits, or buy a ticket, so that their own to stay a souvenir of the good, to enter the temple or more or less to donate some incense money.
Other issues:
Tibet's small beggars a lot, usually they want not much, 10 cents is enough, but when a group of children around you, estimates that you can not afford to eat, so give money should pay attention to; more change some change, in Tibet, the Construction Bank can be exchanged for 10 cents, in the temple if there is no loose money, you can look for the lama to exchange, but also directly in the donation of money to find money on their own. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night.
Barkhor Street to buy things, it is recommended not to buy directly in the stalls, next to many small stores, the processing quality of the things inside the stalls to be better than some of the stalls, but the price is slightly more expensive than the stalls, Kan price Kan goods 2-3 times down, basically can be successful. And the Tibetan people focus on opening price and closing price, so you buy things will also be much cheaper.
Pay attention to the store there are many Hui people fake simple Tibetan people, they are very barbaric, forced to buy and sell, if the price is negotiated you do not buy, they even want to fight with you, this time and we chartered a car to Namucuo with a Beijing people, so on their pawns, so remember, with the eyes to see people.
The most important point, must pay attention to environmental protection, do not litter, now the snowy plateau of the environment is indeed worrying, in addition to Tibetans do not have the habit of going to the toilet, foreign tourists littering also brought a lot of burden to the plateau. I and piglet (my friend) in Namucuo turn lake when picking up a full three bags of garbage, the most annoying is this side just picked up, that side is still littering, piglet gas scolded them, but it is useless, from their own start, from the side to do, to protect this beautiful scenery it.
Bring more pencils, there are many Tibetan children along the way, and even some lamas will ask you for them, I think this is much stronger than giving them money and candy.
