Matters needing attention and practical guide for traveling and pilgrimage to Tibet

Note: This article was reprinted by a forum called "Go to Tibet", but most of the forums are mainly about tourism, so the following contents are for the reference of brothers who are on pilgrimage.

The information in this post will be updated from time to time without prior notice. I don't guarantee any reprinting, so please be careful. Of course, in most cases, these reprints are still very reliable.

Tips for Tibet tourism

First of all, I want to tell you that you must not fly when you enter Tibet for the first time. Just like climbing a mountain. People who ride ropeways can never appreciate the magnificence of mountains and rivers. People who fly into Tibet cannot understand the danger and uniqueness of Tibetan areas. They are often greeted by thin air and sudden altitude sickness.

Second, when you first enter Tibet, it is ideal to take a train from Xining to Golmud, and then take a bus from Golmud to Lhasa via the Qinghai-Tibet Line. This is because there are too many uncertainties on the Yunnan-Tibet line, the Xinjiang-Tibet line and the Sichuan-Tibet line, and there are no buses in some places, so they can only go by truck.

3. Don't buy the following items in Golmud: 1) oxygen pillow or oxygen bottle. 2) Rhodiola oral liquid, capsule or glucose oral liquid. This is because everyone I saw who bought oxygen pillows didn't use them because of lack of oxygen. After entering Tibet, they often carry baggage and are reluctant to throw it away (60 align=70 yuan/person). Only a few users use it to reduce a little oxygen, so that they can comfortably make pillows under their heads. As for rhodiola, it is useless to eat it for a while, and the altitude sickness will pass in a few days.

In Golmud, you can buy some appetizing fruits and bread as dry food, and you must also prepare mineral water. The first time you enter Tibet, you will definitely have altitude sickness, and you can't eat anything along the way. Even if you eat it, you will vomit easily. At this time, fruit is really a good thing.

The following medicines must be taken with you: cold medicine, antidiarrheal medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine and band-aid. You must remember that a cold is not terrible, nor is it as easy to die as the legendary cold, but you should take medicine in time to control it. Several people in our group have a cold and fever, but they are all safe because they took their medicine in time.

6. In Golmud, it is best to take the state-run sleeper, which is opposite the railway station. It leaves at four o'clock every afternoon, with the upper berth 170 yuan and the lower berth 180 yuan. Private car 130 align= 140 yuan, but it is more dangerous. The blanket on the sleeping car is dirty, so you won't cover it at first, but it's not up to you if it gets cold at night.

7. When parking, you must go to the toilet, whether you have diarrhea or not, because the next parking spot may be four or five hours late. Most parking spots have no toilets at all, so it is not difficult for men to solve it on the spot, but in case of emergency, women are no exception. I saw it with my own eyes.

Eight, don't wash your face and brush your teeth along the way. If you are short of water, the proprietress may greet you. If you really want to wash it, she will remind you to pay 3 yuan.

9. Going to Lhasa is usually between midnight 12: 00 and align=3: 00. You can stay at the bus station guest house for one night first. Don't believe the story that you can't take a bath when you just entered Tibet, otherwise you will consume too much oxygen. That's what people who fly into Tibet say. After four days and four nights of train and car travel, it will stink if you don't take a bath. Triple room with bath, 30 yuan per room.

The next day, you can move to Balangxue Guest House, Kerry Hotel or Yuxue Hotel, where you have like-minded friends and it is easy to find peers. Balang School: double room 70 yuan, triple room 30 yuan, quadruple room 25 yuan, 65,438+00 yuan per person, free laundry and 24-hour hot water.

Tourist attractions in Lhasa: Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Jokhang Temple, drepung monastery, Norbulingka and Bajiao Street. Jokhang Temple opens the Daxiong Hall at eight o'clock in the evening, and you can feel the extraordinary religious atmosphere. It's boring to go to Tibet to play Lhasa alone. Everyone who has the money to fly is free to come and go. As far as I know, after visiting Lhasa, you can go to Shigatse, then visit Mount Qomolangma and Yangzhuoyong Lake on a fixed day, then visit Namtso Lake, or visit Shan Zong Site, Baiju Temple and Pala Manor in Gyangze. Tashilhunpo Temple in Shigatse is going anyway.

12. Lhasa can take the shuttle bus to Shigatse. In Shigatse, you can find an organization specializing in car rental, which is cheaper than finding travel agencies and hotels. Travel agencies and hotels can make you at least one third more. ) Generally, you can find friends in the same direction in Lhasa stickers. Rent an off-road vehicle in Shigatse, with a price of 3.2 align=3.5 yuan per kilometer. (directly find the driver, there is no agency fee.

Thirteen, about Tibetan ornaments: the so-called Tibetan silver is white copper. If you wear it, it will turn black and smell of copper. Tibetans don't wear them themselves, so don't buy them. You can buy some pure silver, but it's expensive. ) Tibetan knives are generally sold to tourists in a rough way. Tibetans like red corals and turquoise, but they are really expensive. Instead, you can buy some dzi beads to wear. Different textures have different meanings, but there are also fakes, made of wood and plastic, but with light weight and different textures. Good dzi beads are naturally etched.

If you go to see Mount Everest, you must be prepared for hardship. Being trapped in a car is a common occurrence. It is your duty to remind the driver and help to find the way, cushion the stones and push the cart. At this time, unity is strength. If you have a component, make a component, but be careful not to let your shoes get stuck in the mud.

Fifteen, more than half of people are not used to drinking butter tea. You can taste less. If you can, it will be of great help to replenish your physical strength. If not, drink milk tea. Sweet and fragrant. It's really good. You can have steamed stuffed buns or noodle porridge for breakfast, and some Sichuan food for lunch and dinner. It's quite big and doesn't taste good. You can drink, but you'd better drink less.

16. There is a great temperature difference between morning and evening here. Wear more in the morning, take it off when it is hot, and put it on when the mountain wind blows cold. Don't be afraid of trouble, or you will catch a cold easily. Tents and damp-proof mats are rarely used, so you don't have to bring them. If you want to sleep in your own quilt, bring a sleeping bag.

Seventeen, such a lap down, from the beginning to the end is almost twelve align= fifteen days, physical consumption is almost the same, go back and fly. There are the most flights from Lhasa to Chengdu, twice a day, 1200 yuan/person. Taxi fare from Lhasa to Gongga Airport 120 yuan can be shared by peers.

Friends who want to go to Tibet, if you walk through Tibet like this, you will have your own Tibet, where there are blue sky and white clouds and your own hardships and gains. Maybe you will never forget it; Maybe you want to go again. Then let's go to Shenshan and Shenghu together next time. Kangrinboqe and Mabangyongcuo Lake have been lying there for thousands of years. The mountain is high and the water is far, and the road is dangerous. Let's say to each other: Have a safe trip, Tashildler!

Financial articles:

Bring a credit card unless you will only stay in big cities such as Lhasa, it is recommended to apply for a postal savings passbook. As long as you have postal savings in large and small cities, you can easily withdraw your money stored in different places.

It should be noted that on the line between Mount Everest and Zhangmu, only Shigatse can withdraw money, while Ali is Shiquan River.

Besides postal services, the bank with the largest number of outlets is Agricultural Bank of China, and China Construction Bank has finally achieved nationwide networking in Tibet not long ago.

Take some enough cash alone, perhaps this is the safest measure on the road.

Equipment: suggestions and tips

The most basic equipment for entering Tibet

If you are visiting Tibet for the first time, if you have a preliminary understanding of Tibet's geography and history.

Then you can prepare your own equipment according to the length of the trip and the situation of the destination.

I'm not a device theorist. My own practice and that of my friends have proved that many things recommended by many articles are expensive and useless, and only increase the weight of the backpack.

The first and most important thing is the shoes you need to walk.

If you like hiking and climbing snow-capped mountains, if you plan to camp in the wild, if you want to stay in Tibet for a while.

Then professional hard waterproof hiking shoes are essential, and the best one is imported goretex hiking shoes, whose waterproofness, breathability and warmth are naturally unmatched by others.

If you just walk around the regular scenic spots, a pair of ordinary but strong sports shoes can do it.

A pair of slippers or sandals is also essential. When you need a long ride, when you have the conditions to take a bath, or when you need to see the water, you will find its importance.

The second is a bag that needs to be carried outdoors.

There is no need to carry a huge backpack to shape your tall self-help image. This is a plateau, not a performance venue.

A backpack of about 50 liters and a weight of more than 30 kilograms is enough to put down your so-called necessities.

Of course, a 10 liter small bag or assault bag will also be of great use when you tie the big bag as luggage in the car or put your backpack in the campsite.

The most commonly used items and food in a day's trip will be accommodated by it.

Finally, it is the clothing that enters Tibet.

Tibet has the longest sunshine time, but even in the hottest July and August, the temperature difference between day and night is huge.

In order to prevent the most dangerous cold.

Windproof and warm clothes and rain-proof clothes are necessary.

When you can afford it financially, a professional waterproof and breathable jacket will be your best companion when it rains or even when climbing snow-capped mountains.

If not, a sturdy military raincoat can also achieve its effect, but its shortcomings are airtight and heavy.

Hundreds of pants are also ok. Although the air permeability is not good, you can breathe the wind by unzipping both sides.

Personally, I don't think it is necessary to grasp such so-called professional things as sweaters and sweat-wicking underwear unless you want to climb the snow-capped mountains and cross the grass.

If you want to live in Everest base camp or watch the sunrise in Namco, you may need a down jacket. The warmth of down jacket can bring you special courage.

Spare shirts, underwear and socks. Sometimes you may not be able to change clothes for days. Take a few more pieces and save them together for washing.

A strong belt is also necessary. On the way, I saw a lady's belt broken.

It is also a good choice to use the soft nylon backpack belt with buckle as the belt.

Besides hanging wallets, knives, cameras, etc. It may play an unexpected and important role at some critical moments.

Wear a hat on your head. Wearing a hat with a brim can protect you from the sun, wind and dust, and even prevent some rain from obscuring your vision.

A pair of sunglasses.

Calm is unnecessary. It can prevent strong reflection and snow blindness when crossing the snow.

It will make it possible for you to walk longer in the hot sunshine of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and see more scenery outside the window instead of climbing the snow-capped mountains.

Those who already wear glasses can go to the store to make a pair of sunglasses clips that can be turned up.

Sports watch.

Professional watches with an altitude temperature above 1000 yuan are not needed.

As long as it is a quartz watch or an electronic watch with waterproof, dustproof and shockproof performance.

Although Tibetans don't have much sense of time, you must have it yourself.

Even the pointer can face the sun and act as a compass.

Tibet Equipment (2)

Take off your clothes.

If you enter Tibet, there are some other things you can consider taking with you.

I'm not a medical expert, but I still need to listen to expert advice. Many places outside Tibet are really short of medicine.

Yunnan Baiyao spray (especially useful for cramps, blisters and scratches on legs and feet during hiking)

Band-AIDS, large and small.

Cold and fever drugs, gastrointestinal discomfort drugs, allergic infection drugs, altitude sickness first aid drugs (such as nifedipine. ), as well as a variety of vitamins (such as a tablet of Jin Shierkang every day).

There are also some drugs prepared according to the individual's physical condition and route.

Although it may not be used, being prepared will increase the chances of safety.

Camera, film, moisture-proof bag and spare battery

It will be a pity not to take photos in Tibet, where there are the most beautiful scenery.

But unless you are a professional "sex friend" or ready to hire a car. Otherwise, it is recommended not to bring too professional photographic equipment.

Otherwise, unless you hire backpackers and yaks, it will be difficult for you to reach many wonderful but closed places.

Film and lithium batteries are not easy to buy on the road except in big cities such as Lhasa. In order to prevent fake goods from wasting feelings, it is suggested to buy cheap spare films and batteries from China or Kunming. Otherwise, you may regret it.

There is a lot of wind and sand on the road Put the camera in a damp bag, with cleaning mirror paper and blowing balloons, it should be able to finish the work on the road.

It is strongly recommended that you bring a digital camera and charger, and then bring an extra battery. An internal 4GSD card should be able to take more than 1000 photos, which is enough.

Towels, toothbrushes and wet tissues, chewing gum.

Not to mention towels and toothbrushes.

There is no running water in many places on the roads such as Sichuan, Tibet and Ali.

If you want to have a refreshing mood, besides taking a bath in a stream passing by the roadside,

Your image on the road depends on your own wet tissues and chewing gum.

Now there are wet tissues for sale in the big supermarket on Beijing Road in Lhasa.

Women's hygiene products and men's shaving and shampooing products should also be prepared by themselves or purchased in cities.

High-efficiency sunscreen and lip balm should also be useful in plateau.

But it depends on the individual. In the hot months, I am useless.

Buttered tea should also be used as a substitute to fight against the past.

Headlights or flashlights are quite useful in many places in Tibet. With it, you can't live without it in many places without electricity or in the car at night.

Remember to bring a spare battery.

Notebooks and phone cards

Use notes to write down relevant information, contact information of friends you meet on the road, and memories on the road. So it and the ballpoint pen are both essential.

There will be no cell phone signal in many places outside the city, but small towns in many parts of Tibet will be equipped with IC card phones. It is also what we should do on the trip to bring or buy a universal calling card and give it to our family and friends.

It should be noted that Shigatse can only use locally sold IC cards.

Only the IP card of 17908 can be used on the IC card machine in Lhasa, but not on the street of Shiquanhe, and it is invalid outside Tibet.

Kettle or water bag

The human body consumes a lot of water on the plateau, although you don't feel much sweat.

Drink plenty of water, you need to fill the kettle or water bag at any time.

Otherwise, sometimes the turbid boiling water on the roadside may make you unable to drink, and the price of retail drinks on the roadside is not low.

Multipurpose knife

Swiss army knife or imitation army knife will do. It can be used to open bottles, cans and-in short, it may help you a lot when you don't expect it.

Stainless steel lunch box.

If you like instant noodles, you can use them to make instant noodles.

If you don't like it, you can use it to hold film or other things that are afraid of stress.

The bowl in the roadside shop is not so dirty that I need to use my own chopsticks.

When Tibetans enthusiastically pour butter tea and highland barley wine for you, will you take out your lunch box?

Mobile phones and chargers

If you can't let go of the outside world, bring your mobile phone and charger.

Telecom in Tibet has developed rapidly, and many remote counties still have cell phone signals.

The Yunnan-Tibet line can receive short messages when it reaches Bangda.

Many small hotels in the county can charge their mobile phones.

As for the compass and GPS, I don't know how useful it will be. With two compasses, I can also get lost in Guge.

Introduce books and maps of Tibet.

Now the most popular is Tibetan cowhide book. Personally, I think it is still a manual of Tibetan antelope, and Tibetan travel magazines are relatively more targeted.

I have read all the relevant books carefully. One suggestion is that Tibet is developing too fast, so many things can't be read by one person, and there are still many mistakes and omissions in the book.

It can only be a background and introduction reference before and after departure. It is better to believe in books than not to have them.

The real Tibet still depends on oneself to experience it slowly.

The latest information on the Internet.

It's just that the Internet is not limited by time and place. Before you go out, look at Sina Travel Forum and other related forums you often visit.

Look at the travel notes written by predecessors, or search by topic according to the destination. I believe you will get more exciting and timely reference than travel books.

If you don't want to travel around the world, you might as well design and arrange your rough itinerary first, and print out the reference data with a computer and the smallest font. I believe it will be easier than books.

There are many more. Address: :http://www.gelu.org/bbs/viewthread.php? . tid = 14364
