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 enjoy the ... ...
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 unforgettable 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. To fly into Tibet Tibetan people can not understand the dangerous and unique to meet their often thin air and the sudden altitude sickness.
Second, 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, and even unreasonable buses, trucks can take forward.
Third, do not buy the following items in the Golmud: 1) oxygen pillow or oxygen tank. 2) Rhodiola oral liquid, capsule or oral liquid glucose. This is because every one I've seen people who bought the oxygen pillow, lack of oxygen and suction are not available, they are often brought into Tibet after the cumbersome and not willing to throw away (60 ~ 70 Yuan / month), only Several of those who smoked, but also to reduce a little oxygen, you can comfortably do so under the pillow in the first pad. 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, which is really a good thing when the 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 are a pedestrian, 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, 170 yuan upper berth, lower berth 180. Private car 130 ~ 140 dollars, but more dangerous. Dirty blanket sleeper car, 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. Most parking spots there is no toilet, local solutions would not be difficult for the men, but really 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. 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 are generally middle of the night between 12:00 ~ 3:00, you can first bus stop hostel Zhuyi Ye. Do not to believe in what he first entered Tibet can not wash too much oxygen or the like nonsense, it is people who fly into Tibet said. After four days and nights by train and car travel, not a bath on the stink of. Triple with bath 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 Lang Science: Double room 70 yuan, 30 yuan per person Triple, Quadruple each 25 yuan, 10 yuan per person Tongpu, laundry free, 24-hour hot water.
11, Lhasa must be at play: the Potala Palace, Jokhang Monastery, Drepung Monastery, Norbu Lingka, Barkhor Street. Jokhang Temple in the evening to 8:00 open hall can feel the extraordinary atmosphere of religion. Go to Tibet, Lhasa, is too boring to play alone, each plane of a wealthy person can come and go freely. In my view, to go after playing a good Lhasa Shigatse, Tingri and then go to see Mount Everest and Yangzhuoyong Lake, Lake Zaiqu look at it the wrong timber, or to look at Zongshan Gyangze sites, baiqoi monastery and the Pala Manor . The Tashilhunpo in Shigatse 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 note may be posted in Lhasa, to find a friend in the same direction. Rent sport utility vehicle in Xigaze 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 expensive.) Knives sold to tourists in general are very rough. Tibetans love red coral and turquoise, but is really very expensive. Does fit in to 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. Good beads have a natural etch.
14, if look at Everest, we must make hardships prepared. Trap 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 pitch on a pitch out of it, but was careful, do not shoes stuck in the mud.
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 nice. Breakfast can eat porridge add dumplings or noodles, lunch and dinner, and eat Sichuan on the Minato bar, the amount of Tingduo, poor taste. Wine you can 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 with little chance of moisture-proof pad, you can 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 the 12 ~ 15 days, or less physical exertion, and go back on the fly bar. Chengdu, Lhasa, the aircraft flying the largest two shifts per day, 1,200 yuan / person. Lhasa Gonggar Airport taxi fee 120 to find peers who can be shared.
Want to go to Tibet, a friend, if you walk this way in Tibet, you will have your own heart in Tibet, where there is blue sky, with clouds, with your own hardships and gains. Perhaps you last a lifetime; Perhaps, you want to Zaiqu. So, next time let us turn to the holy mountains and holy lakes bar. Gang Ren Bo Qi Yong measures Mountains and adjacent to Lake Mary, where were lying still for a thousand years. High mountains, far, dangerous journey, let us say to each other: le, bon voyage!
