What do you need to prepare for traveling to Tibet during summer vacation?
Summer vacation is the peak season for traveling in Tibet. In summer, the average temperature in Tibet is between 10-25°C, making it a summer resort in China. The scenery in Tibet is also the best during the summer vacation, and many festivals are held during the summer vacation. So, what should you pay attention to when traveling to Tibet?
: Clothing guide
1. Average temperature
The average summer temperature in Tibet is 10-25°C. The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature. You can follow this principle to prepare your clothes. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so you need to bring a light down jacket. The sun is strong during the day, so you need to focus on sun protection. It’s also best to bring a hat, sunglasses, and ice sleeves.
Girls can take photos without a coat, casual suit or knitted sweater, light-colored sweater, etc. And bring some shawls, cold hats, etc. The photos taken are all beautiful.
2. Overlap and wear
Tibetan clothing follows the multi-layer principle because the weather in Tibet changes greatly and the temperature difference between morning and evening is also large. You can wear short-sleeved jackets, scarves, and hats during summer vacation. Add more clothes when the temperature drops, and take off your jacket when the weather is hot.
3. Clothing in Lhasa, Nyingchi, Shannan, and Shigatse.
Short-sleeved pants and a thin sun protection jacket. Just wear short sleeves if the weather is hot, and add a jacket at night if it rains. This is usually enough.
4. Dressing for Ali, Mount Everest, and Nagqu
On the basis of the above, you need to bring an additional thicker jacket. When the weather is cold, down jackets are the best cold-proof and warm equipment.

2. The most economical mode of transportation to Tibet - train to Tibet.
Advantages: The altitude gradually rises to the plateau, and you can enjoy the scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet Line. Disadvantages: No matter how beautiful the scenery along the way is, you can only briefly glance out the window.

Transportation Guide
Many people only come to Tibet once in their lifetime. It’s a rare occasion, and no one wants to leave any regrets. Therefore, as practitioners, we have compiled 20 suggestions for pit and lightning protection. Be sure to collect them before setting off!
1. Prices and consumption in Tibet are not inferior to those in first- and second-tier cities, and travel costs are directly proportional to experience. Just look at online travel guides and don’t take them too seriously.
2. Most of the low-price Tibet tours you see online, whether they are one-day tours or multi-day tours, have shopping stores.
3. Shopping stores are generally crowded with Tibetan family visits, Tibetan medicine clinics, specialty shops, etc. At first glance, they look like scenic spots. Pay attention to whether there is any mandatory consumption.
4. Tibetan home visits basically involve talking about folk customs first, and then selling Tibetan silverware. What the other person said was nothing more than that.
5. Jewelry stores just hang the name of a certain master and sell Dzi beads, but they cannot judge whether they are genuine or fake.
6. Tibetan medicine is to arrange for the master to read your palm first, and then write a prescription for you to buy.
7. The specialty store may buy you seemingly thoughtful gifts, but the price is several times that of online shopping.
8. It is not recommended to buy souvenirs in Barkhor Street. They are all wholesale goods from Yiwu. If you want to buy, remember not to bargain with anything. You have to bargain before buying something.
9. Try to avoid routes from high altitude to low altitude. This routine takes you to a high-altitude area, m
12. In order to go to shopping stores, many low-price routes will increase the distance. They often leave early in the morning and enter the hotel very late. They get tired of having a high reaction without having a high reaction.
13. Generally, the better routes in Tibet do not include group meals, and the cost of a meal ranges from 50 to 100.
14. It is really not recommended to drive and camp on your first trip to Tibet. If you don't understand the situation, you may get ripped off if you park casually.
15. When taking pictures in Tibet, you must pay attention to some scenic spots, passes, sheep, and puppies. As soon as you take a picture, someone will reach out to you and ask for money.
16. If you want to take photos with your local Tibetan friends, be sure to ask in advance if you can take photos. Be aware of this when traveling anywhere.
7. It’s not bad in Lhasa. When you leave Lhasa and go to Alinyingchi and other places, some local people may stop charging at the entrance of some public toilets. Remember to bring cash.
18. The freedom to play in Tibet is nothing more than a small group or a chartered car. Try to avoid shady cars and shady tour guides.
If something goes wrong along the way, you might be left behind.
19. The official cars certified by the Tourism Bureau have AL license plates. It is difficult to find such drivers to rent cars directly. It is best to sign the contract through a travel agency.
20. If you rent a car, the driver and tour guide fees need to be shared equally by the guests. Ask the travel agency in advance before placing an order.
