3. save money! Save money! Save money!
The preferential policy of "visiting Tibet in winter" will save you a lot of money! From 2020 10 to 15 to 2020 12 to 3 1, a number of scenic spots in Tibet will implement the policy of free admission or half price. At present, Potala Palace and Norbulingka have been officially announced. In addition, the prices of transportation and accommodation will be greatly reduced, which can be said to be very exciting!
Ten must-see experiences in Tibet in winter 1, sunbathing in Lhasa, the "sunshine city"
Lhasa has always been firmly at the forefront of the list of "N Destinations Must Visit in Life". Some people long for the baptism of the soul here, some people long for the blue sky and white clouds here, and some people long for the mysterious religious culture here. Lhasa has become a holy city in people's hearts.
Lhasa, known as "Sunlight City", is not too cold even in winter. It is a very pleasant thing to bathe in the sunshine in winter, stay in the square in front of Jokhang Temple for a while, and quietly visit the temples in Lhasa.
The Potala Palace is a must for anyone who makes a pilgrimage to Lhasa. The Potala Palace, the king of Tibet, has been a palace since the 7th century. It is not only a religious shrine for Tibetans, but also the center of Lhasa. During the "Winter Tour to Tibet" preferential period, visitors need to make an appointment at the official WeChat account of Potala Palace one day in advance and enter for free.
The old city centered on Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street is the earliest area where Lhasa was built. There are many temples in the old city, and people who are interested in Tibetan culture often plunge into unknown temples to dig interesting stories. Jokhang Temple is considered as the heart of Lhasa. If you are willing to do as the Romans do and accept the beliefs of Tibetans for a while, then Jokhang Temple should be the first place you go after you arrive in Lhasa.
You can also take a bus or walk to the Sera Temple in the northern suburb of Lhasa to listen to a debate. Every temple has a debate contest, but watching it at Sera Temple is the most enjoyable. Debating scriptures is one of the ways of learning Tibetan Buddhism. One of the two sides stood and asked questions, while the other side sat and answered. The questioner clapped his hands and stamped his feet, threatening, and the respondent took his time and responded slowly. The scene is sometimes fierce and sometimes glued, which is very wonderful. Moreover, the terrain here is high and you can have a panoramic view of Lhasa.
* The preferential policy of "Winter Tour to Tibet" does not include temples, and the ticket price is subject to the relevant information released by the ticket office or temples.
2. Celebrate the Tibetan New Year.
Tibetan New Year is one of the most important festivals in Lhasa, starting from 1 month 1 day and lasting until 15. The significance and form of this festival are similar to those of the Lunar New Year. There will be cleaning, braising mulberries, replacing Ronda and so on. Years ago, eating and drinking, visiting relatives and friends were the theme of the festival, and there would be a grand "dancing party".
The dates of Tibetan New Year and Spring Festival are usually very close, even overlapping. For travelers, the only (and very important) inconvenience is that many shops will close, so people who value food and shopping had better avoid coming at this time.
3. Go to Namco to enjoy the snow scene
Namco, located in Dangxiong County, enjoys preferential tickets during the implementation of the "Winter Tour to Tibet" policy. "Namco" means "Tianhu" in Tibetan, with a total area of 1.900 square kilometers and an altitude of 47 18 meters. It used to be the largest saltwater lake in Tibet and the second largest saltwater lake in China. It was not until recent years that it was surpassed by Serincu, whose area is increasing year by year.
However, the spiritual significance of Namco in the hearts of Tibetans will never be surpassed. It is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet (the other two are Yang Zhuo Yongcuo and Mabian Yongcuo, and Yang Zhuo Yongcuo is also a preferential scenic spot for "visiting Tibet in winter"). Namco is located at the foot of Nyainqentanglha Mountain, the holy mountain in Tibet. This couple is a sacred lake worshipped by both Boni and Buddhism. 165438+ 10 to the middle of April of the following year is the freezing period. At this time, when you come to Namco, you will see the unique winter scenery.
4. soak in the hot springs in Yangbajing
Yangbajing is located on the fault zone of Nyainqentanglha Mountain. Relying on the advantage of geothermal resources, the hot spring has almost become the "spokesperson" of the whole Yangbajing, and it happens to be on the way to Namco, which is suitable for motorists to relax in a hot spring after the journey in Namco.
If you stay in Yangbajing for one night, you may enjoy its fairyland-like morning, where the steam generated by geothermal fields rises and the whole land is shrouded in white fog. Because of the preferential policies, the same budget can enjoy a few more nights here.
I met Lan Bing in Pumoyong.
This 5000-meter-high lake has unparalleled blue color, and it is a desolate and extremely pure lake. Wan Li in Pumoyong is frozen in winter and spring, and you will enjoy the Lan Bing as much as Lake Baikal!
Standing on the bank of Hubei, Dui Village comes into view from east to west in turn: Mengdagang Ri Snow Mountain, Kulagang Ri Snow Mountain Group and Punan Snow Mountain Group. The snowfield is endless, as if it had reached the end of the world.
6. Looking at Nange Bawa Peak
Nange Bawa Snow Mountain is one of the symbols of National Highway 3 18. Chinese national geography magazine named it the most beautiful mountain in China. Winter is a good time to see the snowy mountains. Nangarbawa means "a spear that pierces the sky" in Tibetan. This 7782-meter-high snow-capped mountain ranks 15 among the world's highest peaks and is considered as the end point of the eastern Himalayas.
You can take a short hike from the hydrophilic platform in Gega Village to the base camp of Nanga Bawa Peak, which can be completed in 2.5 hours. The base camp is the best place for ordinary tourists to watch Nange Bawa Peak at close range.
7. Look at a hidden city that never sleeps.
Lantern Festival is held in Tibetan calendar1October 25th, usually in Gregorian calendar1mid-February. It is a festival to commemorate the death of Master Zong Kaba, the founder of Gelug Sect. In addition to lighting butter lamps on the windowsill of the roof, different places celebrate in different ways, but the time may be slightly different.
On this day, men, women and children get together, put on holiday costumes and taste buttered tea and highland barley wine together until the full moon rises. Every temple and household in Lhasa will light butter lamps and become a city that never sleeps. In Qamdo, the Lantern Festival is called Anque Festival, and Jiucang of Qiangbalin Temple will be a beach city.
8. Explore the Kingdom of Guge
If you are interested in religious art, you must not miss the site of Guge Dynasty, which is the most mysterious place of Tibetan civilization. During the implementation of the "winter tour to Tibet" policy, the tickets here are preferential, and you can enter this kingdom site that has existed for thousands of years but suddenly disappeared to explore the past.
The Guge Dynasty spent more than 700 years creating a civilization in the southwest corner of Ali and within 0/00 km of Fiona Fang/Kloc-,and spent more than 300 years depositing colorful paintings and mottled murals in caves on both sides of the Wangcheng and Xiangquan Rivers, dumping temples and pagodas and eating away the traces of life. Tolin Temple, once a royal temple, has long been integrated into Tolin Town, but wild animals still thrive in Zada soil forest.
9. Feel the glaciers in Tibet at close range
The Karola Glacier is the closest glacier to the highway in Tibet, and it is also an unmissable stop on the way from Lhasa to Shigatse. In winter, the range of glaciers will reach the largest in a year, which is a good time for sightseeing. The most important thing is that according to preferential policies, it is also free to open here!
Different from the mottled mountain colors of the snow-capped mountains, the huge ice sheet of the Carola Glacier is white and flawless from a distance, but if you take a close-up photo of it, you will find that there are lines like altitude contours on its ice tower forest, which is a strange fold left by the alternation of snow and dust when it is formed.
10, have a sip of "holy spring" in Yong bulakang.
Yongbulakang was the first Tubo Palace built in 1 14 BC. The White House stands on a 200-meter-high mountain. Because the mountain looks like a doe's thigh, it is named "Yongbulakang" (the palace on the doe's thigh). During the implementation of preferential policies, you can visit here for free.
Going up the mountain from the north, you can climb stairs or ride horses (go up to 20 yuan and get off 10 yuan). When you come down, don't forget that there is a spring that doesn't dry up all the year round next to the road. People who come to worship in Yongbulakang will come here to drink spring water. It is said that it can cure all diseases.
Matters needing attention in winter tour of Tibetan plateau disease
Altitude sickness usually occurs at the beginning of high school or after strenuous exercise. Slow down the speed of entering Tibet, get enough sleep, drink more water, and eat more foods rich in vitamins such as vegetables and fruits. It is best to start taking anti-reflex drugs such as "Rhodiola inosine tablets" one week before departure.
Preventing colds High altitude will increase the risk of upper respiratory tract infections (including influenza). If you feel a fever or shortness of breath, you should seek medical attention immediately. Pay special attention to prevention in winter.
Pay attention to sun protection
Tibet has dry weather, thin air and strong ultraviolet rays. Even in winter, it is necessary to take sun protection measures-long pants, headscarves, hats and sunglasses, and it is also essential to apply sunscreen with SPF30 or above to the skin.
Warm clothes No matter what season you go to Tibet, down jackets are necessary. Besides, you should prepare more warm clothes (shawls are excellent).
Tibet self-driving
It is necessary to check the vehicle while driving, and it is also necessary to bring necessary spare parts and maintenance tools. On the way, the gas stations are far apart, so you must fill up the gas tank before you go. Do a good job of driving in snow and ice sections in mountainous areas in winter.
