Has just returned from Tibet, feeling and their own tour of Tibet and the Tibetan people say there is a great difference, I think probably because few people go, but where is the love of literature and writing, many people, so many people by giving them too much literature exaggerating, here a few short, I think the exaggerated opinion:
Fallacy 1. Tibet is a mysterious country.
Many Tibetan scholars will generally be described as an individual, in fact, is the closest to the Han ethnic Tibetans, one of them to smile a frown What do you mean you know, (Uygur on N), with a special, mainly in the high altitude and the deep Buddhist faith.
Fallacy 2. Go to Ali's south line (the so-called no man's land 800 years) is very beautiful, but extremely dangerous, need more cars go hand in hand trucks pack the oil.
The fact is not very beautiful, it is not dangerous, we have no charges what the film there three days, the road is also a smooth (with the majority of Tibet road ratio). We do not have anything to do Dongfeng truck supplies truck, but a pack of car fuel tanks, the actual down and did not have a problem.
Fallacy 3. The new lines need to risk their lives in order to take possession. It was even suggested that the pre-exercise body for half a year.
In fact, although the new line of hard to take possession, but as long as the walk from Ali, the general have been adapted to high altitude, we have four individuals (they are several people who had 40) to a so-called more than 6000 meters above sea level have no reaction, has been wondering where more than 6,000 meters high. Dao Hai-Tibet lines scenery is very good, better than a lot of so-called southern route.
Fallacy 4, Everest are must dos.
In fact, apart from reputation, Everest from the landscape in terms of nothing, we have grade school geography textbooks on Everest picture is that you actually can see everything. Because we are close to Mount Everest is through a narrow valley, so you can only approach it from a different angle to see the mountains will never be like that. And expensive tickets (four of us plus car is more than 800 pieces), poor road (9 km per hour). The so-called base camp is a gravel beach plus a toilet.
Fallacy 5, Tibet, you will also want to go a second time.
Except for a few do not know why the Tibetan people who have a special hobby or special money both busy people or used as a career person, I know that the vast majority of people experiencing a one-month tour later expressed in the foreseeable future it would not go there.
Reason is simple: the Tibetan terrain is similar to a similar culture, but also because the language you and the local people is difficult to exchange, to the field, initially exaggerated lifting of mystery writers eliminated, combined with high prices, inconvenient transportation, life inconvenient, physical not meet, you can recall with nostalgia on the little things that are only a few. Of course Tibet is worth, but do not expect too much, otherwise likely to be disappointed.
