If you have the chance, go to Tibet and experience its charm.

✅What to pay attention to for altitude sickness: 1. Don't start using oxygen right away. Try to adapt to it yourself. Otherwise, you may never be able to leave the oxygen on the plateau (it is very addictive). 2. You can take some items to relieve altitude sickness: squalene (take 3–5 days before departure). 3. Don't drink the local water as soon as you arrive in Tibet. Drink a little at first, then gradually increase the amount. This way, you can slowly adapt to the water and soil in Tibet. ✅Transportation guide: 1. Plane: If you have a sufficient budget, it is recommended to take a plane. It is fast and comfortable, and you can deal with altitude sickness in a good physical condition. 2. Train to Tibet: It is relatively cheap, and you can enjoy the scenery, but the travel time is long. It is not recommended for those with limited time. 3. Self-driving: The high altitude and complex road conditions in Tibet can be confusing! Not recommended for beginners. ✅Tibet travel tips: 1. Be sure to wear sunscreen! From head to toe, don't forget the gaps between your fingers! The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are very strong. 2. You can't buy tickets for the Potala Palace on the same day. Book tickets on your phone one day in advance! 3. It is not recommended to wear contact lenses in Tibet, as your eyes ©◎ are prone to dryness. Prepare a bottle of eye drops in advance. 4. Don't use oxygen as soon as you have a headache, as you may become dependent on the oxygen tank and won't be able to leave it for the entire trip. Itinerary: Day 1: Arrive in Lhasa, adapt to the plateau environment, and enjoy free activities or visit Barkhor Street. Day 2: Visit the Potala Palace to learn about Tibetan history and culture, and visit Barkhor Street and Tashilhunpo Monastery in the afternoon. Day 3: Go to Drepung Monastery to explore the mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism, and visit Sera Monastery in the afternoon. Day 4: Go to Jokhang Temple to feel the power of faith, and visit Norbulingka in the afternoon. Day 5: Visit the scenic spots around Lhasa, such as Namtso Lake and Yamdrok Lake. Day 6: Visit the Tibet Museum to learn about Tibetan history and culture, and go shopping or enjoy free activities in the afternoon. Day 7: If you have enough time, you can visit more nearby attractions. ✅Must-try food: Butter tea | It is made of milk tea and butter, which is very suitable for restoring physical strength on the plateau. Lamb hot pot | Tibetan hot pot is mainly made of beef and mutton, with a combination of meat and vegetables. The lamb is tender and fragrant. Nyingchi yogurt | The herdsmen have their own farms and make yogurt from cow and sheep milk, which has a strong milky aroma. Lulang stone pot chicken | It is a must-have dish at Tibetan banquets. It is made of native chicken and natural pepper, and roasted with deadwood fire, making the chicken skin crispy. It has the effects of moistening the lungs, nourishing yin, and keeping healthy.
