Tibet is a dream destination for many travelers. One of the most fascinating things about Tibet is its beautiful snow-capped mountains and lakes. However, many of these mountains and lakes in Tibet require a telephoto lens to capture their stunning beauty, and many require hiking to reach. This can be a real pain for us lazy people. 😖 But‼️ After exploring Tibet, I recommend a place where you can drive 🚗 directly to the foot of the snow-capped mountains‼️ You can also take stunning photos with your phone. Beautiful secret place⬇️ Sisters coming to Tibet, look here👀 ✅Attraction introduction Wild attractions, the lake is called Dingjie Zongcuo Lake, and the snow-capped mountain 🏔️ is called Amazhimi. They are very close to each other. You can watch the sunrise and the golden mountain. The surroundings are surrounded by snow-capped mountains. ✅How to get there 📍Dingjie Zongcuo Lake, Dingjie County Navigate to "Dingjie Zongcuo Lake". After reaching the end of the navigation, you have not reached the lake, and the phone starts to lose signal. Drive along the tire marks for about 20 minutes to reach the lake. "There is a small section of unpaved road surface" You can see the stunning snow-capped mountains 🏔️ all the way, and the photos taken on the mountain top 📷 are also stunning. Ordinary SUVs can pass. ✅Tickets🎫: Free Travel tips ‼️ 1️⃣Tibet is a high-altitude area with strong ultraviolet rays and dry weather. Be sure to drink plenty of water. 2️⃣Sunglasses🕶️ and sunscreen are a must. 3️⃣The temperature difference between day and night in the plateau area is large, so be sure to bring a down jacket. 4️⃣Skin moisturizing is a must, otherwise you will find that you can't even put on makeup after a few days.

Tibet, this mysterious and magnificent land, boasts enchanting scenery. Careful planning before embarking on the journey is crucial to avoid wasting precious time. Budget and Preparation It is recommended to reasonably arrange your budget according to your situation. Do not be too frugal, as traveling in Tibet can be relatively expensive. If you choose to fly, immediately go to a clinic or hospital for oxygen and medication if you experience altitude sickness. Do not hope to recover by just sleeping; early treatment ensures a pleasant subsequent journey. Ways to Enter Tibet If you have ample time, a train sleeper is a good choice. Avoid hard seats to ensure good rest and reduce the risk of altitude sickness. After arriving in Lhasa, rest at the hotel first. Avoid excessive exercise, walking, washing your hair, bathing, and drinking alcohol to prevent altitude sickness.

6⃣ June in Tibet, I would call it the best time to travel🎈! Not to mention the fewer people and beautiful scenery, it coincides with Tibet's rainy season, the air is more humid, and the oxygen content is at its highest throughout the year🫁, making it less likely to suffer from altitude sickness. During the day, temperatures usually range between 20 - 25 degrees Celsius, and at night, they are around 10 - 15 degrees, neither cold nor hot, making it an especially good season for visiting👏. First, you need to choose a mode of transportation that suits you, based on your financial situation and time availability. Taking a plane✈ takes less time, while a train🚞 allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, but it requires more time. June in Tibet is also during the traditional festival 'Saga Dawa Festival', which is one of the grander ethnic traditional festivals in Tibet. Various ceremonies and traditional dance performances are held during this period, and the festival usually lasts for a month🔥 🌟Attraction Recommendations 📍Potala Palace: Standing on the Red Hill, it is the highest palace in the world👍. 📍Jokhang Temple: The first Buddhist temple in Tibet, built by Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo. Every day, a large number of devout followers come to Jokhang Temple to prostrate and worship🙏. 📍Everest Base Camp: Located at an altitude of 5200 meters, it is one of the best places to view the world's 1⃣ highest peak - Mount Everest🏔. 📍Namtso: Known as 'Heavenly Lake', it is surrounded by beautiful scenery, with the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains stretching in the distance🌄. 📍Yamdrok Lake: Considered by locals to be 'turquoise earrings scattered by a goddess'. The lake water changes into a myriad of blue hues with the sunlight, which is breathtaking💙. 📍Sacred Mountain and Holy Lake Scenic Area: Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar in western Tibet's Ngari are the most popular tourist attractions, and June is also the best time to visit. Lake Manasarovar, one of the most beautiful high-altitude lakes in Tibet, is located at an altitude of 4718 meters within the Gangdise mountain range and is known as one of the 'three great holy lakes' of Tibet; while Mount Kailash is one of the most sacred Buddhist mountains in Tibet and a famous pilgrimage site🙏. ‼Precautions ⚠Ensure you get plenty of sleep the day before departure, do not catch a cold, and if you have a cold, it is not recommended to come to Tibet😷 ⚠Do not bathe or wash your hair for the first two days after arrival, as the climate in Tibet has a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and bathing can cause rapid evaporation of water, which can lead to a cold due to the quick loss of body heat❄ ⚠The distances between various scenic spots in Tibet are long, so it's a good idea to carry some small snacks like chocolate, cola, beef jerky, etc., to replenish your energy🍫 ⚠The outdoor UV rays are strong, and the sunlight is dazzling during the day, so it's best to bring sunscreen, a sun hat, and sunglasses🕶 to protect your skin and eyes. ⚠It is advisable to find a local tour group or leader in advance for a more worry-free experience🤗 ⚠People with severe hypertension, heart disease, respiratory diseases, and other conditions not recommended by doctors should not travel to Tibet💊 Are you ready for a trip to Tibet😃

1. Lightning protection 1. It is best not to look for a travel partner online. Many people are just travel agents. A friend of mine was deceived. After being deceived into signing up for a tour group, he could not find anyone in Lhasa. If you want to travel alone, you can I picked it up on the road or in a youth hostel in Lhasa. This one is more reliable if you meet it in person. 2. Don’t bring a suitcase that is too big, 24 inches is fine, it is inconvenient to bring a large suitcase and it will not fit in the trunk when traveling with a group. 3. Don’t buy oxygen cylinders in advance, as they are not allowed on planes or trains. 4. Don’t bring too many snacks. It’s enough to bring 4 meals for a 2-day train trip. Try to pack light. 2. Transportation 1. You can go to Tibet by train or plane. Whether it is high or not depends on your physical condition. 2. I highly recommend taking the train to Tibet. The most beautiful scenery in Tibet is worth it. Listening to the train conductor's explanation and the atmosphere in the car, you can feel the mood of pilgrimage even more. 3. To go to the airport, you can directly navigate to "Lhasa Civil Aviation Bureau". There are buses to the airport for 30 yuan, or you can find a ride-sharing car for 50 yuan. It costs more than 200 yuan to take Didi by yourself. 4. You have about 20 minutes to transfer at Xining Station. You can take photos with everyone. Remember to look carefully when cleaning the windows. Don't clean the wrong ones. 5. What to do if you can’t buy a ticket: buy a ticket for more stops, buy a long ticket and ride a short one, or find a way to get to Xining first, and then go to Lhasa from Xining. The most beautiful trains into Tibet will stop at Xining. There are many trains from Xining to Lhasa, and most of the time there are tickets. The main scenery starts in Xining, and there is actually nothing to see before that. 3. Altitude sickness problem 1. I don't think altitude sickness is as terrible as what people say online. After landing in Lhasa, I started to enjoy the delicious food. I started to have a headache in the middle of the night. I felt dizzy and couldn't sleep. I checked in and inhaled oxygen from the oxygen concentrator. I took chlorpheniramine and it was relieved later. Woke up and nothing happened 2. Oxygen Lhasa costs 15-20 per bottle. Don’t buy it too expensive. I bought 4 bottles in total. 3. Don't buy a large oxygen tank when climbing Mount Everest unless you have to. If it's not so heavy, you will get altitude sickness if you drag it up. 4. Coke can really help relieve altitude sickness. You can send a few more bottles to Lhasa. Things at tourist attractions are very expensive. 5. There is no need to buy a lot of altitude sickness medicine. I only brought glucose and buprofen. You can buy medicine according to your own situation when you arrive in Lhasa. 6. Stop physical exercise before entering Tibet and reduce strenuous exercise after entering Tibet IV. About group tour 1. Don't trust those tour groups that cost 1,000 to 2,000 yuan for 6-7 days. The tickets for the attractions alone cost hundreds of yuan, plus the transportation, fuel, accommodation and food. Just think about it and you will know that there must be something fishy. 2. If you want to have an in-depth tour, it is recommended to join a pure play group of about 10 people. It is more free and the most beautiful scenery is on the road. When you see good scenery, you can get off the car to take photos and check in. The trip will not be rushed. 3. Self-driving is not recommended for the first time. It is very dangerous without high-altitude driving experience. My itinerary was to play in Lhasa for two days by myself, and then I chose a group to go out in Lhasa. The experience was also very good and there was no pitfall. 4. The bus tour is cheap, but you must be prepared to sleep on the bus. Be careful to distinguish whether it is a real pure play tour. Don't have too high expectations, after all, where is the price? #TibetTravel #TibetTravelGuide #Tibet #Lhasa

that's it! finally I'll go to Tibet... I thought about it, like I'm going to clean my karma and put all my thoughts in order😍 but... there're some restrictions for foreigners... so we used one agency to plan our trip for three of us from Kunming... there's really expensive trip and all agencies have the same programs... so we decided to go for 9 days with visiting Everest base camp🤩 I was so existed and tried not to pay attention for little disadvantages in the beginning. first two days we spent in Lhasa. because you should used to altitude. there were already some changes and strange things... 🧐 then our trip had gotten started... we spent most of time in the bus, because we should get EBC in two days... every stop wasn't longer than 30 minutes, excluding lunch, of course (only Chinese cuisine, btw).... finally we had gotten the EBC... the weather was terrible and we all were sad... and the next morning we decided to leave a little longer to wait maybe weather become better instead of visiting one monastery ain Singatse... and the miracle came🤩 but as soon as we saw the peak we rushed to leave the base camp😒 guide assured us we should go ASAP... the next day we rushed to namtso lake, which we were going to visit the day later... so we arrived after 5pm to enjoy our time there till the park were closed🤔🤐 guide told that's because we could have more time at last day in Lhasa for shopping🤮 so finally we rushed from interesting nature spots just for shopping... that two last days in rush became the reason of my frustration😓 so the trip wasn't treatment, but vice versa I felt like I was tired and haven't enjoyed the time there... so my expectations were much more than reality🤧 wish everyone had better trip to Tibet. it's an unreal place. it's another world😌 it worth to be seen... but plan your trip carefully according to your interests😊#tibet

In early October 2021, my friend Anna and I ventured to the on the adventure of a lifetime and a bucket list trip…an 8 day tour through the highest region on earth…we made our way to the Tibet Autonomous Region. To say this trip was life changing feels accurate. There was so much to see and learn about. We saw so many famous and breathtakingly beautiful landmarks. These included lakes, glaciers, palaces, and of course, the highlight…Mount Everest Base Camp. Pro Tip: Bring Advil and drink plenty of water! We were lucky enough to bypass the altitude sickness but there was oxygen on our bus just in case. Booking: We booked with Joy Tours in China. They were great! If you have a chance to visit Tibet, go! I cannot recommend it enough! #travellater #tibet #travel #china #bucketlist #summervacation #summertrip #wintergetaway #campingglamping #urbanexplorer

Ever imagine a trip to Mt. Everest Base Camp located approximately 5300m above sea level? Well, make sure to have an oxygen tank ready with you to help you breathe. Tested my luck at the EBC this new year holiday and voilà! Sunny and bright all day everyday as I got steps closer to the camp. Hoping to try out for a real hike up on the peaks one day when the weather gets a bit warmer. #everestbasecamp #2022 #tibettrip #chinatrips #hikeadventure #mountaineering #topoftheworld

Potala Palace, immense religious and administrative complex in Lhasa, southern Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It is situated atop Mar-po-ri (Red Mountain), 130m above the Lhasa River valley, and rises up dramatically from its rocky base. Potrang Karpo (completed 1648; White Palace) once served as the seat of the Tibetan government and the main residence of the Dalai Lama; from the mid-18th century it was used as a winter palace. Potrang Marpo (1694; Red Palace) houses several chapels, sacred statues, and the tombs of eight Dalai Lamas; it remains a major pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhists. King Srong-brtsan-sgam-po commissioned the building of a palace in Lhasa in the 7th century. Significantly smaller and less elaborate than its 13-square-km successor, it was named the Potala (“Pure Land” or “High Heavenly Realm”) for reasons that are not historically documented, although Mount Potala in India seems the likely source. Tibetan Buddhists acknowledge the Dalai Lama as the incarnation of Avalokiteshvara (Chinese: Guanyin), a bodhisattva whose home was on Mount Potala. Of more than 1,000 rooms in the Potala, the ones considered most holy are the Chogyal Drubphuk and the Phakpa Lhakhang, remnants from the original palace of Srong-brtsan-sgam-po; the latter houses the sacred Arya Lokeshvara (Avalokiteshvara) statue. More than 200,000 statues and 10,000 altars are located within the sacred complex. #china #china🇨🇳 #chinatravel #chinalife #chinadestinations #chinaphotography #tibet #potala #exploringchina #ilovemylife #potalapalace #dalailama #lhasa #beautifullhasa #itsgoodtobealive #travel #travelling #viajar #viajarfazbem #viajarépreciso #trip #wanderlust #wanderlusting #enjoythelife #travelgram #itsgoodtobealive #culture

The Jokhang Temple is the holiest temple in Tibet, housing the life-size image of Buddha Jowa Sakyamuni. The outstanding architecture style and devoted pilgrimage are the best highlights of this 1300-year-old monastery. Not being the largest or the oldest Tibetan monastery, but Jokhang Temple is the most revered and intensely spiritual sacred monastery in Tibet because of its important role in the development of Buddhism in Tibet. More importantly, the Jokhang Temple houses the one of a kind treasure of world Buddhism - the life-size image of 12-year-old Jowa Sakyamuni which has become the most revered idol in whole Tibetan region. At the same time, the Jokhang Temple is more than 1,300 years old now while some other famous monasteries, such as Drepung Monastery, Tashilhunpo Monastery, Ganden Monastery are only around 600 years old. As the spiritual center of Tibetan Buddhism, constant swarms of pilgrims from different parts of Tibet come to Jokhang and prostrate outside the temple to the Buddha. In 2000, the Jokhang was included in the UNESCO World Heritage sites as an extension to the Potala Palace. #china #china🇨🇳 #chinatravel #chinalife #chinadestinations #chinaphotography #tibet #jokhang #exploringchina #ilovemylife #dalailama #lhasa #beautifullhasa #itsgoodtobealive #travel #travelling #viajar #viajarfazbem #viajarépreciso #trip #wanderlust #wanderlusting #enjoythelife #travelgram #itsgoodtobealive #culture #tibetstreets #jokhangtemple #buddhism #monastery

The ruins of Zhongshan ancient fort stand on the cliffs in the middle of the ancient city of Gyantse, and the entire group of ancient castles is staggered on the top of the mountain, with an altitude of 4020 meters, which looks very majestic in the middle of the nianchu river plain. What makes Gyantse the most famous is that it has a heroic history that can be sung and wept. In the winter of 1903, the british invading army invaded Gyantse from Yadong and was met with stubborn resistance from the tibetan military and civilians. The british suffered heavy casualties and were forced to flee. #china #china🇨🇳 #chinatravel #chinalife #chinadestinations #chinaphotography #tibet #exploringchina #ilovemylife #lhasa #itsgoodtobealive #travel #travelling #viajar #viajarfazbem #viajarépreciso #trip #wanderlust #wanderlusting #enjoythelife #travelgram #itsgoodtobealive #iloveearth #ilovethisplanet #zhongshan #zhongshancastle #zhongshanfort #gyantse

Tashi Lhunpo Monastery (Tibetan: བཀྲ་ཤིས་ལྷུན་པོ་), founded in 1447 by the 1st Dalai Lama, is the traditional monastic seat of the Panchen Lama, and an historically and culturally important monastery in Shigatse, the second-largest city in Tibet. The monastery was sacked when the Gorkha Kingdom invaded Tibet and captured Shigatse in 1791 before a combined Tibetan and Chinese army drove them back as far as the outskirts of Kathmandu, when they were forced to agree to keep the peace in the future, pay tribute every five years, and return what they had looted from Tashi Lhunpo. The monastery is the traditional seat of successive Panchen Lamas, the second highest ranking tulku lineage in the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The "Tashi" or Panchen Lama had temporal power over three small districts, though not over the town of Shigatse itself, which was administered by a dzongpön (prefect) appointed from Lhasa. #china #china🇨🇳 #chinatravel #chinalife #chinadestinations #chinaphotography #tibet #exploringchina #ilovemylife #lhasa #itsgoodtobealive #travel #travelling #viajar #viajarfazbem #viajarépreciso #trip #wanderlust #wanderlusting #enjoythelife #travelgram #itsgoodtobealive #culture #iloveearth #ilovethisplanet #shigatse #buddhism #tashilhunpo #tashilhunpomonastery #exploringtibet

When you first arrive at the plateau, do not walk or run quickly, and avoid strenuous exercise. 2. Respect Local Culture: Do not discuss politics and religious beliefs in Tibet. Do not take photos of Tibetans' faces without permission, and do not touch the heads of Tibetans, especially children. Respect local customs and do not watch sky burials. 3. Climate and Temperature Difference: Tibet has a large temperature difference between day and night, so keep warm to prevent catching a cold. The climate is dry, so drink more water and pay attention to sun protection. 4. Diet: Eat a light diet, and avoid greasy, spicy, and stimulating foods. Do not drink alcohol. Pay attention to food hygiene and avoid eating unclean food. 5. Transportation and Itinerary: Transportation in Tibet is inconvenient, and attractions are scattered, so it is recommended to travel with a group.

Be sure to read this super detailed guide, or you might fall into a trap! 🚗【Transportation Tips】 - Train: Although you can gradually adapt to the altitude, the journey takes more than two days, so if you're short on time, you should think twice. The journey is not very comfortable either. - Plane: If you're short on time, have a sufficient budget, and are not afraid of altitude sickness, flying is a good way to get there quickly. - Self-driving: Don't try it rashly! If you don't have enough time or good driving skills, renting a car is not only expensive but also very dangerous. The road conditions in Tibet are very complicated! - Train + Plane: We highly recommend this combination! Fly to Xining first, then take a train to Tibet. You can enjoy the scenery along the way and save time. It's perfect. 🌄【Winter Highlights】 Don't think that winter in Tibet is just cold. There are actually many surprises! The sky is blue and clear, more so than in other seasons, and you can take great photos without filters. The temperature is also very pleasant, with the average daytime temperature in major towns being 10°C - 15°C. As long as you keep warm, you'll be fine. The key is to avoid the crowds and go to Yamdrok Lake to encounter the fairyland-like scenery. The snow-capped mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, which is breathtakingly beautiful. 🌈【Travel Tips】 1. Be sure to book Potala Palace tickets in advance on the "Potala Palace Official Platform," and note that photography is strictly prohibited inside the palace. 2. When visiting temples, pay attention to local customs and avoid wearing short skirts, short sleeves, hats, sunglasses, etc. 3. Don't panic if you experience altitude sickness. Drink plenty of warm water, eat sweets, have regular meals, and stay relaxed. Your body will adapt more quickly. 4. The ultraviolet rays in Tibet are very strong, so sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses, and other sun protection equipment are essential. 5. Bring all the necessary medicines, such as motion sickness medicine, cold medicine, band-aids, vitamin C tablets, etc., to ensure a healthy journey.

Guangzhou✈️Xining🚞Lhasa You can spend a few hours in Xining during the day 164 and 165 are the same train, but the train changes from non-oxygen to oxygen in Xining. The schedule is different from before⏰ The best scenery in Hoh Xil is missed in the first half of the journey We recommend choosing a train that departs later We only got a soft sleeper the night before departure - 🎬The scenery is beautiful during the day, but you can't see the beauty of Hoh Xil 19:26 Depart Xining 20:30 Arrive at Qinghai Lake (it's dark) 01:34 Arrive at Golmud 5:00 Hoh Xil no man's land 4,600m 7:20 Tuotuo River, the source of the Yangtze River, 4,533m (the sun is just rising) 09:40 Tanggula Pass, 5,072m 9:58 Anduo 10:35 Cuona Lake (you can see the white monument), 4,800m 11:20 Nagqu (you can see the sentry saluting) 12:20 Northern Tibet Grassland (you can see yaks, sheep, and horses) 13:20 Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains 15:05 Arrive in Lhasa -

I went to Chengdu before Lhasa. My itinerary was: Dalian (start) - Chengdu (3 days) - Lhasa (3 days) - Lanzhou (1 day) - Heilongjiang (end) 10-day trip, cost about 6,000 yuan If you are interested in a 3-day Chengdu trip, I will post a separate Chengdu travel guide. Here, I will mainly talk about Lhasa. 3-Day Lhasa Trip (Read the text first, then look at the pictures): Day 1: Take photos on Barkhor Street - Stroll along Barkhor Street - Potala Palace Square - Send a letter at the Post Office in the Sky (p2-5) (Taking photos on Barkhor Street takes about 2-3 hours. Potala Palace Square is a great place to enjoy the sun and take photos on a sunny afternoon. The Post Office in the Sky is next to Potala Palace. If you want to send a letter, you need to choose a postcard and envelope first, pay for them, and then write your letter. Postcards cost 3 yuan/8 yuan, and envelopes cost 10 yuan. If you don't use an envelope, you can't track the delivery, so it's all up to luck whether you receive it or not.) Day 2: Yamdrok Lake - Karola Glacier 1-Day Group Tour (p6-p10) (Yamdrok Lake is definitely worth visiting! Don't be afraid to travel alone. You are very likely to meet other solo travelers on a group tour. Be brave and talk to them, and take photos of each other. I met two people of the same age, and we took lots of beautiful photos of each other along the way! See p5-8 for details! I don't think it's necessary to visit Karola Glacier. It might be because the weather was bad when I went there. See p9 for photos. I was afraid of altitude sickness, so I didn't climb the glacier. I just stood at the bottom for a while. If you are not interested, you can consider a half-day tour of Yamdrok Lake!) Day 3: Climb Potala Palace - Sera Monastery - Bar (p11-13) (Be sure to book Potala Palace 1-2 days in advance! You can't book on the same day in winter! In winter, it gets bright very late in Lhasa, not until after 9:00 am. So, I suggest booking a ticket for noon or the afternoon. Remember to bring an oxygen tank. You will need to stop and take a few breaths after climbing for a while. Debates are held at Sera Monastery from 14:00 to 17:00 in the afternoon. Remember to check the date. Debates are not held on some days. Be sure to go early! I went too late and missed it. I have always wanted to experience a bar, but I didn't dare to go alone, so I went to a small bar. It was a bit expensive, but the decor was unique. It was a good place to relax. There were not many people when I went there. If there are many people, you may have to share a table, and it will be more lively! If you have severe altitude sickness, don't drink alcohol! I had mild altitude sickness, and I had a headache after drinking!) The above is my plan. I couldn't get up in the morning, so I had fewer activities and was more casual. If you want to travel like a soldier, you can add some activities, such as the Tibet Museum and Yaowang Mountain. But be sure to take care of yourself! Don't go to too many places on the first day! Walk slowly! You can visit Yamdrok Lake on the last day. I went there on the second day because I forgot to book Potala Palace... I can't fit accommodation and transportation here! I wrote them in my notes. Don't forget to look at the pictures! (p14-18)
