For Lhasa, Shigatse and Shannan areas in terms of transportation, basically all year round trip, from July to September is the best tourist season, the temperatures moderate, the festival is greater.
1. Ali area is the best spring and autumn days, Xia Tiannan line is not good to go, after the winter snow is not easy to pass a basic;
2. Nyingchi summer road is not good, cold spring of hip, for the most beautiful scenery in the fall, when the climate is also the best;
3. Changdu a plane leads to the chang city, but also the rainy season, poor road conditions;
4. In addition to the Qinghai-Tibet highway outside the northern Tibet, the summer lake basically no way to go, the spring wind, the best way to fall, but the relatively short time, as long as no snow downtown, take it very convenient for the winter. Overall, spring and autumn days is the best season of outdoor tourism in Tibet.
In addition, 7-8 months per year tourist season in Tibet, this time the climate in Tibet is indeed the best and the warmest time, every time this time, there are a large number of domestic and foreign tourists flocked. Airfare, housing, vehicles will become tight and expensive.

Dining ease of dining in Tibet is much higher than the general population to resemble. Sichuan restaurant in the main towns. Tibet Lhasa, Shigatse City, Shannan Zetang town, the town of Ali Shiquanhe region, Champlain County, Nyingchi region more varieties of vegetables available. Other places due to traffic reasons, less supply of vegetables, the price is much higher than the mainland.
Of course, the health conditions for many tourists is also a problem. Fortunately, relatively strong ultraviolet radiation on the plateau, infectious diseases are relatively small. In addition to outside Lhasa, travel to other places in Tibet are generally not guaranteed to find a restaurant meal time, I suggest you bring some small food to prepare for any eventuality, such as chocolate, meat, snacks and more.
In Tibet, although there are many lakes, but drinking water is a problem. There are quite a lot of lakes in Tibet is the lagoons. Some other lakes though not salty to drink up, but the high mineral content, according to locals would say drink a lot of dumb, or have other problems. Of course, the snow melt flowing water is no problem. Also suggest that you take the raw water to boil a little longer drink, because the boiling point of the plateau, Sheung Shui, much lower than the plains, Lhasa, to 80 degrees or so of water boiling.
Tibetan diet, pastoral, agricultural areas are different. In addition to pastoral diet tsampa, flour and other staple foods, may be simply divided into "red food" and "parasites" categories. "Red" refers to meat, "white" means milk. Summer to "parasites," which, in winter to "red food" oriented. The famous pastoral areas are mutton snacks, lamb sausage, dried meat.
Pay attention to the taste of Tibetan food light, peace. Many dishes, in addition to salt and onion, garlic and spicy sauce of any hold, reflecting the trend of getting back to basics food culture. Lhasa, Shigatse, Zetang and other towns have a variety of restaurants. These are high-end restaurant or a simple matter, and its interior design is reflected out of the Tibetan art. Tibetan painted patterns that "dog shoes" wooden tables, metal fire, "eight Swiss" bowl, Tibetan futon, with a variety of auspicious Tibetan culture such as maps and paintings, all people experience the Tibetan style. Tourists to Tibet, have the choice of these restaurants to taste some unique Tibetan meal. For example, various types of sausage, barley wine and buttered tea, meat, cattle and sheep grasping, cold yak tongue, steamed buns, tsampa, a variety of pastries and sweet tea, milk, yogurt, Sausage, dried meat, Xiapu Qing (meat paste), etc. .
Entertainment in the beautiful fresh Tibet, and Tibetan entertainment features are combined activities. Flying dance, Buddhist name echoes that religious festivals, festivals or religious activities, and this is the essence of Tibetan culture; dress in national costumes, ride a horse Mercedes-Benz, sprinkle Gesang Hua highland barley wine, buttered tea bonfire Ying, fun in the snow grass in the harbor, what fun it is than the last?
Tibet is a quiet and solemn, you like the city life, as if willing to play it, please do not come to Lhasa, where only the Everest and the Potala. Therefore, Tibet is to 用心去感受 entertainment, with tenderness to love.
Shopping to Tibet (in particular, came to Lhasa) travel, tourism, it should be said, is covered with granite octagonal street the first choice of tourists. Barkhor Street is not only religious, cultural, Street, street folk, and that is a famous tourist street, shopping streets and commercial streets.
