What should I pay attention to when riding Tibet?

Sichuan-Tibet South Line 3 18 National Highway? Sichuan-Tibet North Line 3 17 National Highway? Qinghai-Tibet line 109 national highway? 2 19 National Highway Xinzang Line (it is not recommended to enter Tibet for the first time)

The Sichuan-Tibet line is one of the four main roads to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, and it is also the most challenging and fascinating adventure tourist route.

2. Time and model:

The suggested departure time is from May to the end of June every year, and the rainy season in Tibet is from late July to August and September. Motorists without backup support must stagger the rainy season, or even if they survive by luck, they will be blocked by mudslides and hysterically shout for help. You know, in that ghost season, that fairy place, even if you shout out your voice, even a bird will ignore you.

The author's trip to Mount Everest started unexpectedly at the end of July. Fortunately, I didn't encounter heavy rain and danger when I entered Tibet. However, when I left Tibet, the bad weather in the rainy season also made the author suffer a lot.

3. Equipment:

A full set of helmets and all kinds of protective gear are essential. Never go to Tibet with garbage helmets and protective gear, or Tibetans will laugh at your courage. Cold clothing should be at least armed to the teeth, and low temperatures below MINUS degrees Celsius must be taken into account. At this time, the importance of luggage is reflected. When we set out, the temperature in the mainland was so high that it was impossible to leave with down jackets and all the clothes on. Bags are essential. When riding a bicycle, it is recommended to choose a bilateral bag (saddle bag) that can be easily carried on the back seat. The texture should be durable, the space should be large enough, and it should be waterproof and dustproof.

6, pay attention to the situation and matters along the way:

Both the Sichuan-Tibet line and the Qinghai-Tibet line will cross the living places of Tibetan people. We mainlanders are not familiar with Tibetan living habits and environment, and we don't know much about Tibetan folk customs. Although most Tibetans are simple and kind, it is inevitable that a small number of Tibetans are biased against the Han people because they don't understand. Therefore, we should restrain our actions and words along the way and try to disturb the lives of Tibetans as little as possible. It is best not to go alone to places where Tibetans gather, especially in remote mountainous areas. If you feel it is necessary to take a photo as a souvenir, you must get the consent of the Tibetans in advance, and you must not be forced.

It is recommended to prepare some low-priced daily necessities or stationery or candy. The transportation in Tibetan areas is inconvenient and the materials are extremely scarce. Having these little things can be given to Tibetans as a gesture of friendship, and at the same time, you can gain trust and win a photo opportunity for yourself. However, when the children waved a car to stop, they stopped in Sichuan, where most Tibetans were friendly; In Tibet, you must be careful when you meet a large group of children. If there are one or two, it depends on the mood. Remember, the children on Mount Everest must not stop, the whole thing is robbers+bandits!
