[2025 Shigatse Stay] Travel Guide for Hilton Shigatse (Updated Mar)

🌟 This self-drive tour of Tibet ends in the high-altitude southern region of Tibet. Finally, I can share my thoughts on self-driving in Tibet in winter. This route follows the border. On some days, you need to show your border pass four times. A border pass and ID card are essential, so be sure to carry them with you. 🌟 This route takes you around some of the most beautiful snow-capped mountains. In my opinion, the most beautiful is Kula Kangri, with its snow-capped mountains and lakes. You need to make an effort to see the beautiful scenery. The most stunning is the frozen Puma Yumco Lake, and the most beautiful lakes are the uninhabited Chongba Yumco Lake and Zongcuo Lake. 🌟 In terms of accommodation, the conditions in Tibet have improved a lot compared to four or five years ago. Even the two worst places on this trip, Luozha County and Gangba County, have underfloor heating. Hotels above 4,000 m with oxygen generators are much better. In Lhasa, I recommend the Pingcuo Kangtsang Oxygen-Rich Hotel. Self-drive travelers love this hotel, and the conditions are great. 🌟 Prices in Lhasa are not cheaper than in Shanghai, and busy restaurants are not necessarily good. It's all down to luck. However, there are plenty of chain milk tea, coffee, and restaurants, which is a big improvement. 🌟 10-Day Tibet Tour Itinerary Day 1: Fly from Shanghai to Lhasa via Chengdu. The altitude is a little high at 3,600 m. Check in to the Pingcuo Kangtsang Oxygen-Rich Hotel in Lhasa. The view from this self-drive hotel is also highly recommended. Day 2: Visit the Potala Palace in Lhasa. The Potala Palace is built on a mountain and is magnificent. The main building consists of the White Palace and the Red Palace. The White Palace is the winter palace of the Dalai Lamas and the center of political and religious power. The Red Palace is a place for religious activities and the tombs of the Dalai Lamas. The palace houses countless Buddha statues, scriptures, and precious cultural relics. After visiting the Potala Palace, go straight to Yaowang Mountain and bring a 50 yuan note. Yaowang Mountain is opposite the Red Mountain, where the Potala Palace is located. It is a great place to take photos of the Potala Palace and is the location of the image on the back of the 50 yuan note. Day 3: Lhasa—Yamdrok Lake—Puma Yumco Lake—Luozha County, altitude 3,800 m. Check in to the Luozha Longba Manor Hotel. Yamdrok Lake is 4,441 m above sea level and is one of the most famous lakes in Tibet. Puma Yumco Lake is between 5,000 m and 5,100 m above sea level and is the largest freshwater lake in southern Tibet. Luozha County is located on the southern slope of the Himalayas, with an average altitude of 3,870 m. Day 4: Luozha County—Cuoyu Village—Baimalin Lake Hike—Kangma County, altitude 4,300 m. Check in to the Kangma Yuhuang Oxygen-Rich Hotel, which is close to the county and has convenient transportation. Cuoyu Village is a small Tibetan village at an altitude of 4,160 m and is an important stop near the starting point of the Baimalin Lake hike. The hike from Cuoyu Village is about 12 km, with an altitude of about 4,500 m. You need to cross meadows, climb hills, and traverse cliffs. Day 5: Kangma County—Chongba Yumco Lake—Duoqingcuo Lake—Zhuomulari—Dui Na San Cuo Lake—Qudeng Nima—Gangba County, altitude 4,600 m. Check in to the Gangba Plateau Oxygen-Rich Hotel. This route passes through many beautiful lakes and snow-capped mountains in Tibet. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and the self-drive tour is amazing. Day 6: Gangba County—Zongcuo Lake—Xilin Viewing Platform—Mount Everest Guandi Temple—Gyirong Town, altitude 2,900 m. Check in to the Gyirong Oxygen-Rich Hotel. At Mount Everest Guandi Temple, you can see the peaks of the Mount Everest Scenic Area and experience the shock of the top of the world. Gyirong Town is an important port between Tibet and Nepal. There are many Nepalese people and shops in the town, and you can experience the unique border style. Day 7: Gyirong Town—Peiku Lake—Mount Everest Castle—Shigatse, altitude 3,900 m. Check in to the Shigatse Hilton Hotel. Peiku Lake is the largest inland lake in the Mount Everest Reserve. The lake is clear and blue, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is open. There are wild horses, Tibetan wild donkeys, Tibetan antelopes, and other wild animals on the shore of the lake. Mount Everest Castle is a military fortress built by the Qing army more than 200 years ago. The castle is a great place to see Mount Everest, and you can see the Himalayas from the castle. Day 8: Shigatse Tashilhunpo Monastery—Lhasa, check in to the Pingcuo Kangtsang Hotel. Tashilhunpo Monastery is located in the Sangzhuzi District of Shigatse City and is one of the four major monasteries of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery houses the world's tallest indoor bronze statue of Jampa Buddha. Visiting hours are from 9 am to 6 pm. Day 9: Lhasa Jokhang Temple and Ramoche Temple. Jokhang Temple is located in the center of the old city of Lhasa. It was built more than 1,300 years ago by King Songtsen Gampo to house the statue of Sakyamuni brought from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. This temple is not only a holy place of Tibetan Buddhism but also a treasure of Tibetan culture. Ramoche Temple is located about 500 m north of Barkhor Street in Lhasa. It was built in the mid-7th century and houses an 8-year-old statue of Sakyamuni, which is extremely sacred and precious. Day 10: Fly from Lhasa to Shanghai. Finally, the 10-day trip is over, and I can go home and have a good sleep on the plains.

Shigatse Hilton should be the best hotel We took the morning flight and arrived at the hotel at 10:30 am As soon as we got out of the car, someone came to take our luggage and put it on the trolley We could check in immediately at the lobby on the 7th floor, at an altitude of 3,850 meters No deposit was charged, and our luggage was taken to the room Oxygen supply in the room is from 7 pm to 9 am Nasal cannula is in the drawer Takeout is placed at the hotel entrance, and you need to call the front desk The hotel will arrange for someone to deliver it to the room, which is really great After all, you don't want to walk with altitude sickness It's a pity that we didn't have breakfast I'm already very satisfied to stay in such an environment at a high altitude The service is also very good, and any request is handled immediately. The staff who helped me with my luggage kept observing whether we needed any help We took a shower and washed our hair on the first day The water in the bathroom is very hot, and the hair dryer is fast The only downside is that the room temperature is a bit hot But we still slept until 9 am, and the altitude sickness was relieved a lot

Found a hit hotel in 'Shigatse' The Shigatse Hilton One - the highest Hilton hotel in the world. This is my third visit to Shigatse, as the main rest stop on the way to Mount Everest, there are not many luxury hotels to choose from in Shigatse. Staying at the Hilton this time really shocked me deeply. First of all, the professional and enthusiastic service attitude of the hotel staff made me truly feel at home; secondly, as a Gold Card member, it was the first time I received such high-level treatment, the service attitude was indeed a bit overwhelming, and I was also given a special card pack representing all the zodiac years since the hotel's opening; lastly, the buffet dinner on the first floor of the hotel costs 188 per person, to be honest, I did not expect to have such quality buffet at an altitude of around 4000 meters, and the tuna sashimi is the highest quality I have ever had in any buffet. Before coming, I also saw mixed reviews about the quality of the Shigatse Hilton online, but I think for someone who has been to Shigatse three times, including this time at the Hilton, and stayed in Shigatse hotels six times, the Shigatse Hilton is undoubtedly the best hotel in Shigatse. The rooms have diffuse oxygen supply, and the staff had thoughtfully turned on the oxygen supply before check-in. The most basic amenities like welcome fruit and laundry service are also available. The hotel breakfast can't compare with similar hotels in the mainland, but there are also many varieties, and whatever your requirements, they can be met

After five years of renovation and upgrading on the site of the landmark Shigatse Hotel, the Hilton Shigatse Hotel officially opens, welcoming the first international brand hotel to the 'Home of Mount Everest'. The hotel is located in the central urban area of Shigatse, only 2 kilometers away from Tashilhunpo Monastery, and 50 kilometers from Shigatse Peace Airport. Shigatse is an essential route to the Everest Base Camp, which is about 300 kilometers away. The architectural facade is designed with the Tibetan characteristics of white and red, using unique Tibetan door decorations, eaves decorations, etc., abstractly reflecting Tibetan aesthetics. From a distance, it looks like a 'castle' rising from the plateau. The overall architecture presents a 'Hui' shaped enclosure, creating a private inner courtyard. The courtyard landscape, combined with the arrangement of the roof and the covered walkway, creates a rich and varied spatial hierarchy, giving the building a distinctive personality. Inside the building, the designers have retained the lobby and banquet hall structure of the old Shigatse Hotel, as well as the design of the ceiling caissons, allowing beautiful memories to continue. The hotel has 301 comfortable guest rooms, with designs inspired by the natural scenery of the surrounding mountains. Natural wood and modern color tones are used to create a cozy and warm atmosphere. To alleviate the discomfort of hypoxia in the high-altitude area, the hotel is equipped with diffusive and nasal oxygen supply facilities in the rooms, helping guests better adapt to the local environment and enjoy a safe and comfortable holiday. Strolling through the various areas of the hotel, elements of Tibetan culture such as the auspicious Tibetan sheep and black-necked cranes are cleverly presented in sculptures, paintings, and other artworks, with custom Tibetan furniture and decorations in the rooms. The hotel offers a rich variety of dining experiences, with 4 distinctive restaurants and bars serving a diverse range of Chinese and Western delicacies. The exquisite and elegant Yuxi Chinese restaurant offers Sichuan cuisine and Tibetan delicacies, with the chef boldly innovating to create a fusion of Sichuan-Tibetan cuisine, especially worth trying. The Liao|Barbecue Bar, located next to the hotel's outdoor garden, has a semi-open kitchen that allows guests to watch the chefs cook up close. The unique water feature creates a comfortable atmosphere, allowing guests to spend a wonderful time in a warm dining atmosphere. The 21-meter-high Zangyuan All-Day Dining restaurant offers themed buffets and an all-day chef's a la carte menu, featuring classic global cuisine, local Tibetan beef and mutton, and local staple foods such as Tsampa and butter tea.
