Sisters traveling to Lhasa in May should be cautious!

Reasons why it's not recommended: The average temperature in May is 5–15℃, with a temperature difference of up to 15℃ between day and night, and the intensity of ultraviolet radiation is 3 times that of the plains, which can easily cause altitude sickness. The rainy season has not completely ended, and roads in scenic spots such as Namtso Lake are prone to snow accumulation. Three-day, two-night itinerary: - Core experience: Potala Palace (book 3 days in advance), Jokhang Temple (12-year-old statue of Sakyamuni), Barkhor Street (Tibetan costume photos). - Food: Tibetan hot pot at the Xueyu Restaurant, sweet tea at the Guangming Gangqiong Sweet Tea House (CNY 1/cup). - Accommodation: Lhasa Shangri-La Hotel (oxygenated rooms, May price CNY 1,500/night). - Alternative time: June–September (temperature 15–25℃, lush vegetation).
