What should I pay attention to when I go to Tibet in mid-July?

Equipment: When traveling in Tibet, the luggage should be as little as possible, but it must be enough. The backpack is more than 45 liters, so it is enough to carry a leather bag with you. Put personal belongings such as cash and certificates in your pocket.

Clothing: Due to the high altitude, the overall temperature in Tibet is lower than that in the mainland, especially in Namco and Benying of Mount Everest. July to early September is basically the rainy season in Tibet, and it will clear up in mid-September. Pay more attention to keep warm and don't catch a cold. All equipment, including coats, trousers and shoes, should be waterproof. In rainy season, Lhasa and Linzhi are rainy at night. Down jackets, fleece jackets, fleece pants, gloves and hats are all necessary. In Tibet, you must wear hiking shoes. First, some places have poor road conditions to protect their feet. Second, hiking shoes are waterproof and warm. Take your sleeping bag. Accommodation conditions in many places in Tibet are not very good. Some beds are dirty. Sleeping in your own sleeping bag is warm and hygienic. Unless you are camping, you don't need to bring a damp pad, but you must bring slippers.

Gourmet: At present, most Chinese restaurants in Tibet are run by Sichuanese. You can spend a few dollars in a small shop for breakfast and stir-fry for lunch and dinner. The price is not too expensive. There are three places in Lhasa that mainly eat Chinese food. One is the western suburb, which is the west of the bronze statue of yak. Not far from Potala Palace, Sichuan hot pot is the main dish. The second place is Niangniang South Road, next to the civil aviation ticket office, where there are also several Sichuan restaurants to try. Don't go to the hamburger fast food on this road, it tastes terrible. The third place is Shangba Langxue Hotel and Yaya Hotel on the section between Beijing Middle Road and beijing east road, and there are several small Sichuan restaurants.

As for Tibetan food, Tibetan food and Nepalese food, you can go to Gangla Mei Duo Bar in Asia Hotel, Weird Bull Salon Restaurant next to Kili Hotel or Maggie Ami Bar. Snow God Palace in front of Potala Palace is one of the top Tibetan restaurants in Lhasa. Tibetan food is famous for butter tea, fried lamb chops, Tibetan steamed buns, blood sausage and stewed yak meat with radish. You can try it in Lhasa, but many people are not used to it.

Stay: At present, the most famous hotels in Lhasa are Balangxue, Jiri and Yaya Hotel, which are more famous than other hotels. First of all, they are cheap. Second, it is very convenient to find a partner to charter a car here. These three hotels are all on the beijing east road, and they are very close. Relatively speaking, hotels in Asia are the most expensive, while the rooms in Badang School are all separated by wooden boards, and the sound insulation facilities are poor. I suggest having a lucky day. All three hotels have free laundry rooms, public bathrooms and public toilets. The only drawback of the Eight Gallery School is that you can choose your own clothes after washing and mixing them together. On auspicious days, there is a special laundry bag, which is put into the bag by the waiter and sent to your room after washing.

OK: Compared with other places, the travel expenses in Tibet are more expensive, and the transportation expenses account for a large part, especially the round-trip fare. It will be cheaper to take the local long-distance shuttle bus, but the scenic spots in Tibet are scattered and the distance is relatively long, so it is more cost-effective for 4-5 people to charter a car together and share the fare. There are bulletin boards in front of the hotels where three backpackers live, so you can leave messages to contact chartered cars.

The starting price of tricycles in Tibet is 3 yuan, and the farther place is 4-5 yuan; Taxis are all 10 yuan. Lhasa drepung monastery took a taxi to 20 yuan, because it was far away.

I went to Gyangze, Shigatse and Linzhi for 4 days. Four chartered cars, Toyota 62, Toyota 44, 400 yuan, with an average of RMB 1, 100 per person. Go to Namco for 2 days, charter 4 people, Toyota 62 1300 yuan, 325 yuan per person. By May Day, car prices will go up. It will be more expensive to go to Shigatse and Mount Everest. Contains drivers, but does not. Cars going to Mount Everest need to pay the highway construction fee according to the number of wheels, each wheel is 100 yuan, off-road vehicles in 400 yuan and trucks in 600 yuan, and each tourist has to pay the scenic spot fee in 65 yuan. Drivers must have various driver's licenses. On this trip to Linzhi, we happened to meet a car inspector. Our driver's license is complete, but the car he bought is a scrap car. According to the regulations of Tibet, it is necessary to go through the formalities of delaying scrapping once every quarter. His car just expired on September 20, and he has to go through the formalities of delayed scrapping. He didn't go through the formalities. We don't know this rule. After the results were found out, we grinded the traffic team captain for a long time before letting us go. The captain told us that most Toyota 62 cars in Tibet were scrapped cars, which we learned later. We must pay attention to this. If you really can't put it down, you can only stuff a red envelope, so that you can pass the customs.

Altitude sickness: Altitude sickness is manifested as headache, dizziness, excitement, insomnia, chest tightness, rapid breathing, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal distension. Before entering the plateau, you should have a good rest, don't be nervous and have psychological pressure, avoid catching a cold, ban alcohol and tobacco, take American ginseng properly, and eat rhodiola a week in advance to enhance your resistance. If you enter the plateau by land, it is better to enter from the Sichuan-Tibet line or the Yunnan-Tibet line and exit from the Qinghai-Tibet line or the New Tibet line, so that it will be better to gradually adapt from low altitude to high altitude; If you fly, altitude sickness usually occurs in the evening or the next day, so you must have a full rest when you arrive in Lhasa. Don't let your guard down just because you think there was nothing at that time. Keep warm. It's best not to take a bath a few days ago in case you catch a cold. When you arrive in Tibet, you'd better get used to 1 in Lhasa for two days before going far away. This will have a process of adaptation, and it will also provide a good state for your body in the future journey. If altitude sickness occurs during the journey, it should be dealt with in time, and rhodiola should be taken in time, and oxygen should be taken in severe cases. If you have severe chest tightness, severe cough, dyspnea, slow response or even coma, you should be sent to the hospital in time or transferred to low altitude areas. It takes a long time to enter the plateau by car, the accommodation conditions on the way are poor, and the physical consumption is high. It is necessary to prepare some medicines, water and drinks as well as easily digestible food, so as to replenish necessary water and calories in time and eat more vegetables and fruits. Being able to eat and sleep and keep an optimistic attitude will definitely overcome altitude sickness.

Drugs: cold medicine (antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, Radix Isatidis granules), trauma medicine (Yunnan Baiyao spray, band-aid and eye drops), nutritional medicine (multivitamin), altitude sickness prevention (Rhodiola capsule produced by Qinghai or Tibet pharmaceutical factory), expelling powder (Niuhuang Jiedu tablet, Xiasangju), gastrointestinal medicine (fluoperacid, Modine) and moistening dryness.

Other health problems: keep warm; Wear sunglasses and a sun hat; Contact lenses are not recommended because of the dusty tourist routes in Tibet and poor sanitary conditions. Bring a wet tissue; When I first went to the plateau, it was dry, and my lips were easily chapped and nosebleeds. Drink plenty of water, eat throat lozenges, and bring sunscreen, lotion, lip balm, nasal ointment and cool oil. In plateau areas, due to the fatigue of climate and travel, women's physiological cycles are often disordered, and they bring enough physiological and health supplies.

Border card problem: some places in Tibet, such as Mount Everest, Zhangmu, Ali and Linzhi, need to apply for border cards. It is best to apply for a border card at the place where the account is located. It is difficult to apply for a border card in Tibet now. You can go to the household registration department of the municipal public security bureau where your household registration is located to apply for a border defense card and fill out an application form for applying for a border defense card. Fill in the reasons for visiting relatives, places to go, Xigaze, Ali, Linzhi and Shannan. The processing time is not long, and you can usually get it on the same day. Take your passport. You don't need to apply for a border card.

Internet cafes: Living standards in Tibet are improving day by day, and Internet cafes are everywhere. There is no problem accessing the Internet in a large area. The cost of accessing the Internet is generally one hour in 4 yuan /5 yuan, but the speed of some Internet cafes is still a little slow.

Telecom: At present, China Telecom and mobile communication have no major problems in big cities in Tibet, while China Unicom has some problems.

Banks and ATMs: It's best to carry enough cash with you. ATM is in Lhasa, China Construction Bank is connected to the Internet, and the postal green card is also very easy to use, but it is still recommended to withdraw cash, because it is impossible to withdraw money all the way through the hinterland. In addition, temples and beggars can be given more pocket money. Tibet doesn't accept coins.

Custom taboo: when visiting a temple, you should not touch the Buddha statue at will. Some women in Buddhist temples are not allowed to visit, so you should respect lamas and temples. Turn clockwise when turning the warp thread;

The problem of fare evasion:

Potala Palace is hard to escape tickets.

Opening hours of drepung monastery: 9: 00-16: 00; It is open to Buddhists and Tibetans before 9: 00 a.m. If you go after 8: 00 a.m., you can go in with Tibetans without buying tickets, but some Buddhist temples are closed, so you will get something from waiting inside. Don't forget to donate some incense money.

Jokhang Temple opening hours: 9:00- 16:00. Basically, it is open to Tibetans in the morning, to tourists in the afternoon, and you can evade tickets when you go in after eight in the morning. Moreover, the Buddhist temple on the second floor is also open. The only drawback is that there are too many Tibetans and they need to queue up to visit. There is a way to avoid it. Tell the Lama that you want to open the light, and the Lama will usually be very accommodating and let you stride in directly. Hee hee. You can go to the Jinding of Jokhang Temple in the afternoon, but the Buddhist temple on the second floor is closed and there are few people. Buddhist temples are relatively clean, and lamas check tickets strictly. Think for yourself, don't forget to donate some incense money.

Temples in Tibet are usually open to Tibetans who worship Buddha in the morning. If you go early and follow them, the chances of evasion will be greater, and in the afternoon, evasion will usually be more strict. However, it is rare to go once. If the economy permits, buy a ticket, so that you can leave a souvenir for yourself. You still have to donate some incense money to enter the temple.
