Why do most people travel to Tibet by car instead of by plane or train?

When it comes to the road trip route, the first thing that comes to mind is the Sichuan-Tibet route. As a paradise for every go on road trip lover, Tibet attracts many people every year. But this road is not so good. If it weren't for old drivers, most people wouldn't dare to go on the road. Every year, many old drivers roll over and die here. After all, everyone knows how hard this road was when it was first built. Having said that, I believe many people have the same question as Bian Xiao, that is: Since the road is so bumpy and difficult to walk, why do so many people choose to drive by themselves instead of taking the train or flying directly?

Maybe many people choose road trip because they want to see the scenery along the way, but what they didn't expect was that the road was so rugged. Going to road trip naturally wants to see the scenery along the way, which is much more perfect than taking a train or flying. But is the beauty of danger really worth it? There are also many hikers, especially the "poor girls" on the Sichuan-Tibet line. Will they be uncomfortable by plane or train?

First, let's talk about airplanes. At present, most planes to Tibet land in Lhasa. Lhasa, as the most important stop of Tibet tourism, basically everyone will stay here for a while and feel the beautiful scenery here. Lhasa Gongga Airport is located in Jiazhulin Town, Gongga County, Shannan District, Xizang Autonomous Region, with an altitude of 3,600 meters. It is one of the highest civil airports in the world. Although there are other airports, they usually land at this airport.

Let's talk about trains. There is only the Qinghai-Tibet line by train, starting from Xining, Qinghai, passing through Golmud, then arriving in Tibet, and the destination is Lhasa. Of course, there are also places from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to Lhasa, but the shortest distance is from Xining to Golmud, and then transfer to the bus to Lhasa.

Speaking of these two means of transportation, airplanes are naturally more time-saving and faster. As for the train, although it is a little slow, it is safer and more reliable. And you can see the scenery along the way, which is also a good choice. So why do so many people choose not to take these two modes of transportation, but to drive by car? The real reason is actually several aspects.

First of all, there are more choices for the route to Tibet.

If you take the train, you can only get there through the Qinghai-Tibet line, but driving is different. Not only can you choose the Sichuan-Tibet line, but also the Qinghai-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet and New Tibet lines. The scenery is beautiful. But the most beautiful one should be the national highway 3 19 from Chengdu. The scenery along the way is really beautiful. Every summer, there are many people on this road, including drivers, cyclists and even hikers, who are engaged in road trip. There are many people, but the scenery is also beautiful.

Second, realize the dream of driving to Mount Everest.

If you take a train or fly, how can you call it self-driving? Most importantly, you can realize your dream and drive to Mount Everest, which is the dream of many people who like to travel. Such an opportunity can't be missed. Coupled with the continuous improvement of road facilities, the road to Tibet has become less difficult in recent years, and there are asphalt roads.

Third, come on a trip.

Maybe you can go by plane or train, which is easier and safer. But I don't have the comfort of driving and my mood is different. Traveling on the road is more casual and greedy for time. If you want to play, you will naturally choose to go to road trip. Maybe you don't just want to see the beautiful scenery in Tibet, but the scenery along the way is more important. You can also enjoy things that you can't usually experience, such as camping on the roadside and enjoying the night view at night. This feeling can't be given by train or plane.

Many people think that traveling to Tibet by plane or train is soulless. Meaningless. It is most comfortable to see the beautiful scenery of Tibet through difficulties and obstacles, and it is different to think that it is rare and cherish it. A trip without looking at the beautiful scenery along the way is not perfect. I don't know what you think of such a thing.
