Potala Palace | Please keep the winter travel money-saving tips including the Tibet travel guide

Winter is really the best time to visit Lhasa (if you can tolerate the lower oxygen levels)❗️ 🌟Every year from November 1st to March 15th of the following year is the discount period for winter travel in Tibet. During this time, many attraction tickets are free of charge🙈, including the Potala Palace, which usually costs more than 200 yuan for a ticket, is free in winter (and it's easier to book than in the peak tourist season)👍 ⚠️【Super Practical | Potala Palace & Tibet Guide】 1️⃣The Potala Palace requires climbing many stairs, it's a big physical challenge❗️It's recommended not to schedule your visit to the Palace on the first day, but rather wait until your body has acclimated to the high altitude before going up to the Palace for a better experience~ 2️⃣The guide for the Potala Palace is 50 yuan per person, mainly consisting of group tours, and many people will ask if you need a guide while queuing 3️⃣After arriving in Lhasa, it's advised to stay in a hotel with dispersed oxygen supply, resting well is a major prerequisite for enjoying your time on the plateau👍 4️⃣It's best not to bathe or wash your hair on the first day after arriving in Tibet, as it's easy to suffer from altitude sickness! 5️⃣Avoid vigorous exercise at high altitudes, including running, jumping, etc., all movements should be slow⚠️ 6️⃣You can take Rhodiola in advance to effectively prevent altitude sickness; also, bring some glucose to mix with water and eat some chocolate to replenish energy, which is very important! 7️⃣If you want to take beautiful photos at the Potala Palace, you can go to Potala Palace Square or Medicine King Mountain (50 yuan for the photo spot), bringing a small mirror can help capture a beautiful reflection of the Palace🙈 8️⃣For accommodation, it's recommended to stay near the Potala Palace Square. I stayed at the Minshan Aviation Hotel, where you can see the Potala Palace from the room👍
