Many large trucks on Qinghai-Tibet Highway, drive carefully. Minimal gear: -15℃ warm clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses (to prevent snow blindness), power bank (unstable power supply at protection station). 🌍 Soul experience: Touch the wilderness heartbeat of the world’s Third Pole at the lowest cost, perfect for "ascetic" travel lovers! Actual expenses may exceed budget (e.g., emergency treatment for altitude sickness or vehicle repairs).
