I want to go to Tibet for the first time. Can you tell me about the basic necessities of life in Tibet?
"Ah, Dolma, the Gesang flower on the grassland, you dedicated your singing to the snow-capped mountains that raised you; you dedicated your beauty to the grassland, the grassland that raised you." This is Teacher Yadong The lyrics of the song dedicated to Tibet describe the nurturing feelings of Tibetan grasslands and snow-capped mountains for "Dolma", and arouse the yearning of travel enthusiasts for a trip to Tibet. So today the editor will share with you a guide to traveling to Tibet.
In fact, the homework to be done is nothing more than four aspects: clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
Let’s talk about “clothes” first. The best season of the year to travel to Tibet is from May to October. At this time, the temperature is comfortable and it is also the peak tourist season. In addition to the necessary mountaineering clothes and travel clothes, In addition to shoes, sun hats, and oxygen bottles, it is best to prepare autumn clothes and trousers. Because the altitude is relatively high and the temperature difference is also very large, you should pay attention to keeping warm. If you want to avoid the peak tourist season, such as February and March, you should prepare warm winter clothes. If possible, it is best to bring a down jacket to avoid sudden weather changes;
Of course, the most famous one is recommended for "food" Highland barley wine and butter tea. If you travel to Tibet, it is especially recommended to try tsampa. It is made from fried and ground barley flour. It is mixed with highland barley wine and kneaded into small balls to eat. This is also the staple food of the Tibetan people. , of course, there are certainly many different local specialty foods in Tibet. Travel enthusiasts can also go to the local area and ask the people, so I won’t list them all here;
”Camping” is not recommended for “living”, after all, the temperature difference On the one hand, it is big, but on the other hand, camping in Tibet is also more dangerous, and there are still many wild animals. When choosing a hotel, safety is of course the first priority. Take a look at how well the safety passages, fire protection measures, etc. are being done. Another factor is comfort. Altitude sickness is a big challenge for travel enthusiasts, so it’s best to take a look. Is the hotel equipped with oxygen bottles, etc.? The third is to pay attention to the cost-effectiveness, do more homework, compare prices, comfort, whether you can take a hot bath, etc.;
The last thing is "OK" , if you want to be more comfortable, airplane is of course the first choice. If you want to appreciate the natural scenery, you can choose to travel by car or take a train. The terrain in Tibet is very complicated and there are many scenic spots. You must do your homework before going. Ask more questions and see more when you get there, so that you will not feel at a loss.
Tibet is the place closest to paradise, not only because of its high altitude, but also because of its charming scenery. It feels like arriving in paradise. I wish all travelers have a happy trip to Tibet.
