Remember to do a good job with sun protection: hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and sun-protective clothing are all essential! 🌡️ As for the climate, it's very dry, with a huge temperature difference between day and night! No matter the season, an outer coat is a must. It can be hot during the day, but sun protection is still necessary. At night or when going to higher altitudes, you'll need to wear a thick jacket or down coat! 💡 Another tip: on your first day in Lhasa, don't rush to wash your hair or take a shower, as it's easy to catch a cold. Also, don't hurry to Potala Palace, as climbing stairs without acclimating can lead to altitude sickness. 【Touring Tips】 📸 Remember to bring your ID card when going out, as you need to show it to enter Barkhor Street. Photography is not allowed inside temples, and remember to wear long pants, not skirts, shorts, or slippers. 🚗 For transportation, it takes about 70 minutes by taxi from the train station to the city center, and from the airport to the city center. You can choose the airport shuttle bus as a more economical option. In the city, it is recommended to take a taxi. 🏨 For accommodation, it is recommended to stay in a hotel with oxygen supply near Barkhor Street or Potala Palace, which has been renovated in the last two years and is equipped with oxygen machines in the rooms! 🍽️ You can't miss the local cuisine! Highland barley wine, butter tea, tsampa, yak yogurt, stone pot chicken, Tibetan yak meat hotpot, potato buns... every bite is the taste of Lhasa!
