With regard to Tibet, male America, there are countless topics; on Tibet road risk, hence the saying could not finish the story; on Tibet’s charm, and only your own personal experiences in order to appreciate.
For every one dreams of traveling Tibetan people, I very much fondly call loudly: a friend. To give you just a bit of experience, just want to help you spend less money wasted and less avoid costly mistakes, to complete this worthy of your life aftertaste of the surf.
1, first of all like to say to you the first time Tibet, we must never fly. It is like mountain climbing, as people sit up cableway will never appreciate the magnificent and beautiful mountains and rivers. Fly into Tibet Tibetan people can not understand the dangerous and unique to meet their often thin air and the sudden altitude sickness.
2, the first time to Tibet, more ideal, or take a train from Xining to Golmud, and then through the Qinghai-Tibet Railway from Golmud to Lhasa by car. This is because the Yunnan-Tibet line, the new Tibet line, the Sichuan-Tibet line has too many uncertainties, Some places even unreasonable buses, can only take the truck move forward, and then through the Qinghai-Tibet Railway from Golmud to Lhasa by car along the scenery
3, do not buy the following items in the Golmud: 1) oxygen pillows or oxygen tanks .2) Rhodiola oral liquid, capsule or oral liquid glucose. This is because every one I’ve seen people who buy do not have the oxygen pillow smoked by lack of oxygen, they are often brought into Tibet after the cumbersome and not willing to throw away (60-70 yuan / month), only a few smoked, and also a little in order to reduce the oxygen, you can comfortably pad in the head under the pillow to do. As for the Rhodiola, temporary point is to eat little effect, while the altitude sickness, adaptation will be in the past few days.
4, in the Golmud can buy some fruit and bread for appetizers dry food, mineral water must also be ready. The first time to Tibet, altitude sickness will surely, along the way will be unable to eat anything, even eat them very easy to vomiting, and this time of fruit really good stuff. can buy seasonal fruit
5, we must carry the following medicines ready: cold medicine, diarrhea medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, Band-Aid. You have to remember: a cold is not terrible, not as legendary in the cold is likely to die, but takes medication to control a timely manner. (We party people, several people have a fever, but because medicine and timely, are safe and sound.
6, in the Golmud travel, preferably by the state of the sleeper car, opposite the train station. 16:00 departure every day, upper berth 170 yuan, 180 yuan lower berth. Private car 130-140 yuan, but more dangerous. Berth car dirty blankets, you will not begin to cover, but in the evening, cold days, and also not help you.
7, parking must go on the trip when the toilet, whether or not discharges want to because the next stopping point may be four or five hours later. There is no stopping point of most toilets, local solutions would not be difficult for the men, but the truth to the emergency Department, the President is no exception, this is what I have seen.
8, along the way do not have to wash the brush. The water is scarce, there may be hail your boss that, if really want to wash what, she would remind you pay 3 yuan.
9, to Lhasa, generally between midnight and 12:00 -3 points can be first in the bus station hostel Zhuyi Ye. Not to believe in a bath first entered Tibet can not be too much oxygen or the like nonsense, it is people who fly into Tibet to say. After four days and nights by train and car travel, not a bath on the stink of. there is a bath Triple 30 yuan per person.
10, the next day can be moved to 8 Long school hostel, or auspicious days hotel, or a snow-covered hotel, where like-minded friends, easy to find companion. 8 Long Science: Double room 70 yuan, 30 yuan per person three human, four human person 25 yuan, 10 yuan per person Tongpu, laundry free, 24-hour hot water.
11, need to play in Lhasa Office: Potala Palace, Jokhang Monastery, Drepung Monastery (a rare sun Buddhist ceremony), Norbulingka, Barkhor Street, Shigatse, Tingri and then went to see Mount Everest, take a look at Zaiqu Nam Co Lake . China’s highest saltwater lake: Namtso Nam Co Lake northwest of Lhasa, more than 4700 meters above sea level, an area of 1940 square kilometers, is the highest saltwater lake in China. “Namco” in Tibetan heart is the holy lake every year there are a lot of followers from all sides rushed to the holy lakes, only for worship. Nam Co Lake, as a giant Hokyo, mosaic grassland in northern Tibet, the tradition generation after generation of Tibetans and the pursuit of faith. Namco’s natural scenery is beautiful, many photography enthusiasts addicted to. Ultimate games are played: foot switch to lake. Special Note: The best travel time on May -10. -6 Tibetan calendar every year in May month, Tibetan Buddhists will go to turning. Or to look at Zongshan Gyangze sites, the green barley fields baiqoi monastery, while the Xigaze Tashi Columbus Temple is in any case want to go.
12, can take the shuttle bus to Lhasa, Shigatse. In Shigatse we can ask a broker specializing car rental agencies, so cheaper than our travel agents and hotels. (Travel agents and hotels earn you at least one-third.) General can be posted in Lhasa note to find a friend in the same direction. Xigaze rented sport utility vehicle in the 3.2-3.5 yuan per kilometer. (direct to find the driver, there is no agent fee.)
13, on the Cangshi: the so-called Tibetan silver is a copper-nickel alloy, wearing a hand would be black, there will be stench, Tibetans themselves do not wear, and Do not buy. (You can buy some silver, but not cheap .) knives sold to tourists in general are very rough. Tibetan love red coral and turquoise, but is really very expensive. You could buy some beads worn, different textures have different implication, but there are fake , there are wood and plastic to do, but the weight of light, texture is also different. a good beads a natural etch.
14, if look at Everest, we must make hardships prepared. Subsidence car is a commonplace to remind drivers and help to explore the way pad stones, carts is that you have responsibility. At this time, unity is strength, there is a contribute to a part to play it, but was careful, do not shoes stuck in the mud. Transport: Mount Everest as far away as the China-Nepal Highway about 100 kilometers south of border line. from Shigatse, Tingri Lazi not find bandwagon to the new very difficult, but the remainder of the headquarters of the 100 km ride on the opportunity to sit quite low, it is proposed chartered from Lhasa to be the most secure.
15, buttered tea people drank a half can not get used, you can taste a little less, if line, then add strength to your great help, and if not, on a whim He Naicha bar, savory sweet, really good. Breakfast to eat porridge Add dumplings or noodles, lunch and dinner, and eat Sichuan on the Minato bar, the amount of Tingduo, poor taste. wine to drink, but drink less better.
16, where large temperature difference between day and night, the morning more wear, hot off of the mountain cold Fengyi Chui again, then again put on, do not trouble, it will easily cold. Tents and few opportunities to use moisture-proof pad could not have brought. If you sleepy own quilt, with a sleeping bag on the bar.
17, such a lap down, from start to finish is about time 12-15 days or less physical exertion, and back on the fly bar. Lhasa, Chengdu aircraft flying the largest two shifts per day, 1,200 yuan / person. Lhasa to Gonggar airport, 120 taxi fare to find peers who can be shared.
