Every year after the rainy season, the wild chanterelles are very beautiful on the Qinghai-Tibet grassland. The appearance of this mushroom and the skin of the chicken are too similar, because the taste is particularly delicious, or the meat is fried, or the stew is rich in flavor. The color of the mushroom is mostly yellow, so the local name is chanterelle. Some people describe Tibetan chicken, "the nature of the prairie chicken, the nourishment of black-bone chicken, the exquisiteness of the guinea fowl, the essence of the guinea fowl, the greatness of the episode, the ridge of the world, the brood of the chicken world."

Most travelers visiting Tibet take photos with the Potala Palace in the background, but few notice the Longwangtan Park behind it. After seeing the Potala Palace, walk clockwise along the pilgrimage path for a while, and you will come to Longwangtan Park. As soon as you enter the park, you will feel a strong sense of local life. In the middle of the park, there is a green lake where flocks of bar-headed geese and wild ducks play and linger, and fish densely frolic in the water. In the lake is the Longwang Temple, and an exquisitely shaped arch bridge connects it to the land. Old people slowly circle the temple. Walking east along the main road, there are several sweet tea houses. Invite three or five friends to sit in the shade of the trees, eat a bowl of steaming Tibetan noodles, drink a pot of warm sweet tea, and chat about recent life and feelings... Located in the western suburbs of Lhasa, the Drepung Monastery is the largest monastery of the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism and the largest monastery in the world. Drepung Monastery, Ganden Monastery, and Sera Monastery are known as the three major monasteries of Lhasa. The entire monastery is large in scale, and the white buildings are densely arranged on the hillside, looking like a huge pile of rice from a distance, hence the name Drepung. Drepung means "rice gathering" in Tibetan, symbolizing prosperity. Its full Tibetan name means "auspicious rice-accumulating victorious continent." It is the monastery with the highest status in the Gelug sect. The Coqen Hall ("Coqen" means Great Scripture Hall) is the main building of Drepung Monastery. At the entrance of the hall, you can see the Buddha Display Platform and a portrait of Tsongkhapa. As the highest St. Regis hotel in the world, the St. Regis Lhasa is a hotel worth visiting for its classic and timeless design. It is also the best luxury hotel in Lhasa with an excellent location. The entire building belongs to the modern Tibetan design. It opened in 2010, and its current condition can be said to be very good. There are many Tibetan elements in the lobby, and I personally feel that the lobby is more like a Tibetan museum. A row of viewing chairs is placed in the lobby, where you can overlook the Potala Palace. If the hotel were taller, the view would be even better!

"Back to Lhasa, back to the Potala, back to Lhasa, back to the Potala Palace. The Yarlung Tsangpo River washes my heart clean, and the snow-capped mountains awaken my soul."

In February, when most places are still in the grip of late winter chills, Lhasa exudes a unique sacred glow under the plateau's warm sun. With reverence and anticipation, I embarked on this journey of spiritual purification😃. 🔵Best time to visit February in Lhasa sees temperatures ranging from -5℃ to 10℃, with cold weather and significant temperature differences between day and night.

St. Regis Lhasa | The best hotel in Lhasa St. Regis Lhasa is the highest St. Regis hotel in the world. The overall style is very Tibetan. The entrance to the hotel is from the roadside to the lobby. It is said that the night ceremony is held here every Friday. You need to pass through three doors to enter the hotel. The Didi driver said it has a "palace feel." The hotel lobby is a bit like the InterContinental Lijiang, but without the snow-capped mountain view. The last door before entering the lobby, the basic room type of the hotel is very large, more than 60 square meters. The hotel's buffet hot pot dinner, the meat is free to renew, is a delivery dish (that day is roast lamb chops). The view from the hotel bar Breakfast (semi-buffet and semi-order)

| Celebrate Tibetan New Year at the Highest St. Regis Hotel. St. Regis Lhasa | Celebrate Tibetan New Year at the Highest St. Regis Hotel. It was my first time in Tibet and I spent 3 days at the St. Regis Lhasa for the New Year. People always ask if I had altitude sickness, and I think 95% of people will have a reaction when they first arrive on the plateau. The body needs time to adapt to the thin oxygen content, and even people who have lived in Tibet for decades will have a reaction when they return to high altitudes from the plains. It's like the fable of the little horse crossing the river, everyone reacts differently. Some people adapt quickly, some take a day or two, and some people suffer a lot. In addition to the service and food being online during the Spring Festival and Tibetan New Year, the St. Regis has a 24-hour altitude sickness medical room. The doctor there has a military doctor background and is very experienced in treating various altitude sickness symptoms. The "magic medicine" costs CNY 25 per pack and usually takes effect in half an hour. The doctor has many different views on altitude sickness than those online. Online, it says you shouldn't exercise for a while before going to Tibet. The doctor said that exercise can improve cardiopulmonary function and the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen, which is conducive to quickly adapting to high-altitude environments. Online, it says you should take rhodiola for a while before going to Tibet. The doctor said that rhodiola is similar to Chinese medicine, and it varies from person to person. Some people will get angry after taking it, and their altitude sickness will be more serious after entering Tibet, so it is not recommended. Another thing, online it says you should endure altitude sickness and not always inhale oxygen to let your body adapt. Adaptation is correct, but the standard treatment for altitude sickness is to quickly relieve symptoms and inhale oxygen intermittently. Lack of oxygen is like being hungry, so you should eat when you're hungry and inhale oxygen when you're lacking oxygen. Your body will be relieved immediately, and you can gradually adapt. My partner had the most serious altitude sickness among us. Vomiting caused electrolyte imbalance, loss of appetite, and weakness. He had an IV (to protect the stomach and supplement electrolytes) and inhaled medical oxygen in the hotel medical room. After an hour or two, he started to want to eat, and everyone was happy. On New Year's Eve, the St. Regis held the traditional Tibetan Guozhuang dance and the Western saber champagne opening ceremony. They presented guests with white khatas, and everyone drank champagne and danced happily around the warm fire.

I've been dreaming of Lhasa for years, and I finally made it. Why didn't I come sooner? Only one reason: I was worried about altitude sickness. But as a first-time visitor, I didn't experience any altitude sickness at all. I dropped off my luggage and went hiking in the afternoon, and I didn't feel tired at all from taking photos every day. One of my travel companions did experience altitude sickness on the first night, but after inhaling oxygen in the hotel room and taking the special medicine prescribed by the hotel's medical office, they were back to normal the next day! When it comes to traveling in Lhasa, the best hotel choice is definitely the St. Regis Lhasa Resort. 😉 What to do at the hotel? Every Friday night, the St. Regis Lhasa Resort holds a night ceremony, which involves opening champagne with a Tibetan knife. It's the only St. Regis in the world that uses a Tibetan knife, so it's very unique! Drinking champagne and dancing the Guozhuang dance is my favorite way to travel. When I'm tipsy, I feel the blue sky and my relaxed body, and my spirit is enriched! Every day, I see blue skies as I stroll around the hotel and take photos, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin. When the light falls on my face, I feel like I'm in a parallel universe. Nature's gifts are always so beautiful! I tried the hotel's co-branded afternoon tea, the exclusive barley-flavored "Tubo Mary," and the delicious Wagyu beef hot pot. Food is especially important when traveling, and if you don't want to go out, you can eat, drink, and take photos at the hotel! Be sure to go to the Tubo Bar and take a photo with the Potala Palace! I chose the "Oxygen-Supplied Deluxe Potala Palace View King Room," which offers a great view of the Potala Palace under the blue sky! I love the Tibetan oil paintings in the room, which are worth admiring! When you come to Lhasa, you must visit the Potala Palace and Barkhor Street. I found a local photographer to take some photos of me in Tibetan clothing on Barkhor Street. It's a unique experience that's worth trying. 🥰 Lhasa is very special to me. Now that I've made my first trip, there will be a second and a third. This time, I got a taste of its mystery and beauty, and I hope to get to know it better. ☺️ If you want to come, don't hesitate. Only by coming here can you experience the beauty you long for. 👩🏻‍🌾 Olivia's OOTD Brown-red suit: ba&sh Striped sweater/purple sweater: ba&sh Jeans: FRAME Necklace/earrings: Chanel

It's better to go to Lhasa in spring or summer. I went there in winter, and the oxygen content was really too low, which made me feel uncomfortable. So if you go to Lhasa in winter, it's especially important to choose a hotel that gives you a sense of security and comfort! I highly recommend the St. Regis Lhasa Resort. 🏘️Room Type/Layout: Some rooms are in front of the main building, and some are around the main building. It's actually okay to stay anywhere, and the service is very responsive. The rooms have floor heating! 24-hour oxygen supply! If necessary, there are oxygen machines and doctors, which really ensure your safety in all aspects. 🎯Entertainment Facilities: The hotel is located in the city center, so it's very convenient to go to the main attractions in Lhasa. You can even walk there. Walking on the streets of Lhasa really gives you a feeling of purifying your mind. It's very convenient to go to the museum, the Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple, etc. 💗Other Tips: Some rooms have a direct view of the Potala Palace! Also, you can take better photos in their bar. The staff's service attitude is really great. Feel free to ask for anything you need.

The hotel is located on Jiangsu Road, which is inexplicably cordial. Although it is in the city center, it is very private. The main reason for choosing St. Regis is that it has a 24-hour clinic. Although the room is equipped with oxygen equipment, it is useless for me who has a severe headache due to altitude sickness. I can only get up in the morning to go to the clinic to inhale medical oxygen, and push the oxygen cylinder to the hotel restaurant, which is also a suite with a high rate of return. The facilities are complete, Bvlgari toiletries, the bathtub is a bit wasteful, because you should not take a bath or wash your hair as much as possible when you enter Tibet. We just take a simple shower, let alone take a bath. The room is very private and soundproof. Here mainly praise St. Regis's breakfast, a wide variety of types, the dining environment is also very good, you can also take away, when I was pushing the oxygen cylinder to inhale oxygen in the restaurant, the restaurant sister brought me butter tea and said it can relieve altitude sickness, although I am not used to drinking it, but I was still warmed. The most visited place is the clinic. Two people take turns inhaling oxygen. They also have altitude sickness medicine and portable carbon fiber cylinders, which escort our future journey. In short, the facilities and services are very good, but we who have altitude sickness have not enjoyed these well, which is a bit regrettable. 🏨The hotel is about four kilometers away from the Potala Palace, and you can overlook the Potala Palace in the bar These two days are full, I got a 2419 room, facing the Potala Palace, you can see the Potala Palace lying on the bed The hotel's 🍽️ breakfast is not particularly rich, the taste is okay, but for me who came all the way from 318, this breakfast is quite good

The St. Regis Lhasa Resort Tibetan-style hotel Experience the charm of Tibetan culture up close. The entire hotel is designed with reference to the Sera Monastery. You can see the panoramic view of the Potala Palace from the hotel lounge. The hotel lobby is rich in Tibetan Buddhist culture. From the entrance to the interior lobby and reception hall, there are Buddha statues. It reflects the free integration of faith culture and people's daily life. The hotel has a very quiet holiday atmosphere. There are Nepalese waiters and Tibetan compatriots to receive guests. The design concept is from Hong Kong. This time I stayed in Building 5, with an area of about 60 square meters. Very spacious, oxygen supply throughout the house. Welcome fruit also comes with Tibetan-style yak yogurt. The experience is quite good. The St. Regis Lhasa Resort

It is also equipped with a humidifier, toilet, bathtub, Dyson hair dryer, etc. Hotel Facilities The St. Regis has its own 24-hour medical room, which is a big plus. My friend had severe altitude sickness, so he went straight to the medical room and had his blood oxygen and blood pressure measured. The doctor recommended renting a backpack oxygen cylinder with a nasal cannula, which is very portable. My friend carried it with him and went to the Potala Palace in the afternoon without any pressure. The medical room also prescribed a special medicine for altitude sickness, which can relieve altitude sickness within an hour after taking it. This is much better than the InterContinental Hotel I stayed at before.

Regis Lhasa. The prices of the St. Regis Lhasa Hotel, the highest hotel in altitude, are very obvious during off-season and peak season! I remember the cheapest time was when L bought room coupons and gave them to me for free! It seems that it was only 400-500 per night. I can’t find the old photos anymore, it seems that posting more often on Moments does have its benefits! After all, I won’t stay more than 400 nights a year (more than 300 is fine) I remember that they used to provide afternoon tea and buffet dinner for 23 years, but don't even think about it. The basic room starts at 2K in summer vacation. There are observation decks in the hotel lobby and the sixth-floor lounge. You can order a cup of Tubo Mary at the Tubo Hotel on the sixth floor (Figure 5, 6) and overlook the Potala Palace! I really want to check in at the presidential suite [Mount Everest]. It is said that this is the room Faye Wong likes to stay in when she comes to Lhasa - room number 6688. People say that the breakfast at St. Regis is terrible, but if you have stayed at InterContinental Lhasa, you will feel that it is much better!

The St. Regis Lhasa | Slow life on the plateau The first time I came to Lhasa, I stayed in a classic suite with a courtyard view on the first floor. I recommend room 1106. You can go out to the courtyard for a walk and drink tea, which is quite pleasant. The Lhasa suite that I was going to upgrade to was a bit too big, but it is suitable for long-term travelers (with a kitchen and cloakroom). The room has plenty of oxygen. After it was fully opened, I felt like lying on my own bed. The St. Regis restaurant offers exquisite breakfasts. The à la carte menu recommends Benedict eggs, French toast and beef noodles. Sweet tea is drunk every day (between milk tea and Indian tea). Yak milk with honey Honey also likes the noodles for breakfast, they are also delicious. I will try them for dinner. I ate Cantonese food at the Chinese restaurant, which made up for my stomach that was not interested in Tibetan food. The St. Regis is in a good location, very close to Barkhor Street, which is very important because parking is difficult at the Potala Palace and Barkhor Street. It's open now. I also helped to make instant noodles, so I had a The experience of having afternoon tea with noodles is so delicious after not having it for so long Anyway, take your time on everything on the plateau. The thin oxygen can cure all your wild thoughts...

People call Shangri-La the Moonlight City, and Lhasa, Tibet, is the Sunlight City. One destination that I have wanted to visit countless times is Tibet. Of course, this is not suitable for everyone, because traveling in Tibet is very demanding on physical fitness. Tip: If you come to Tibet for the first time, it is not recommended to take a shower in the first one or two days, especially not to eat too much. It is best to be five minutes full. If you eat too much, you will regret it. If it is serious, you will lie down in the hospital. The local hotel accommodation conditions in Lhasa are certainly not comparable to those in other cities. After staying in two hotels, the St. Regis is obviously more suitable for me. The location is excellent, and the most important thing is that it is an international chain brand. Safety and hygiene can be guaranteed. It is still a good choice when traveling. We attach great importance to safety and health conditions. The entire building of the hotel is a modern design with Tibetan decoration. It was opened in 2010. The current state can be said to be very good. It is said that Queen Faye Wong also loves this hotel. When you walk into the hotel, you will be greeted by St. Regis' signature fragrance. , which is a sense of security. The entire lobby must have been designed with Feng Shui in mind. The designer is great. What I like most is the view of the hotel entrance. The designer gave the entrance and exit walls of the hotel a dynamic sense of ritual. There are many hidden decorative elements in the lobby. In my opinion, the lobby is more like a Tibetan museum. I stayed in a Lhasa suite, which should have an area of ​​about 110 square meters. The room has its own kitchen. When the butler opened the door, the artistic conception instantly reminded me of the Aman brand. The bedroom is equipped with a BOSS speaker on the desk. I personally think it could be upgraded. It cannot connect to Bluetooth, but the sound quality is still very good. The guest rooms are still timeless and well maintained. This room has a luxurious and comfortable sense of space. The bedding is very soft and comfortable, feels good against the skin, is light and warm, and the sleep quality is very high. Even on the plateau, you can sleep well at night. The bedroom is equipped with an oxygen concentrator and a humidifier at the bedside, which also takes into account the physical needs of customers. It will not affect sleep due to lack of oxygen at all. This is great. It must be suitable for friends with rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and hypoxia. Big baby. The bathroom is very spacious. I visually estimate that the entire bathroom area should be about 20 square meters. It has floor heating function, double basins, bathtubs, and smart toilets. Moreover, this resort, which has been in business for 12 years, is very considerate of customer experience, and all the guest rooms use the most popular modern toilets. Hair dryer Dyson. The turndown service at this St. Regis hotel is really at the resort level, and there are small turndown gifts every day. The butler prepared a hand cream on the first night, and a bottle of lavender aromatherapy essential oil on the second night. The small details were taken care of. Very well done. Every St. Regis hotel has its iconic Chinese restaurant Yanting. This Chinese restaurant in Lhasa St. Regis is a great surprise. It is not easy to have such delicious Chinese food in Lhasa, and the texture and taste of the dishes are extraordinary. Lose to anyone. The stir-fried asparagus is very tender, the wild pepper yak meat is tender and fragrant, and the Cantonese-style abalone rice also tastes very authentic. At night, the entire resort feels more mysterious. The breakfast is better than the freshly squeezed juice, and the butter tea tastes better than I imagined. The swimming pool in the spa has a sense of age, and the dragon pattern on the wall is a bit serious. Tubo Bar is located on the 6th floor of the hotel. It must be a good place for afternoon tea. Facing the view of the Potala Palace, it is very pleasant to enjoy a ceremonial St. Regis afternoon tea. The afternoon tea desserts are of normal quality, and the macarons are very good. , this place will transform into a bar at night. There is a shop in the lobby, which has many local ornaments, sculptures, thangkas, paintings, Tibetan incense, for sale. I also like Thangkas very much. This St. Regis hotel must be the best choice in Lhasa. Everything is good. The housekeeper is a local Tibetan boy. He is very enthusiastic. He will say hello and ask questions every time we meet. I will definitely come to Lhasa next time. I will choose this place again. I hope I have the opportunity to go to Shigatse in the future. Thank you for reading and Tashi Delek.

Go to the local application center to collect the "Border Management Area Pass Application Form"; 🚩2. After completing the form, bring your household registration booklet and ID card to the local police station to find the police to sign and confirm; 🚩3. Take the signed and confirmed application form and two one-inch photos back to the application center to apply for the border pass, which can be picked up immediately. 👣 ♻️Note: Please fill in the full "Destination" in the table according to your needs. Because my route was long and I was traveling around Xinjiang and Tibet, what I wrote at the time was "the whole territory of Tibet, the whole territory of Xinjiang". In the end, I got two border passes. In this case, I need to prepare two one-inch photos separately.

The third is the Xinhua Hotel Viewing Platform, where you can go directly to the fifth floor, turn left and walk for 30 seconds to see the location of the viewing platform. This should be the closest place to the Potala Palace viewing point, and you can also take pictures of the traffic flow downstairs. The fourth is the bar platform on the sixth floor of the Regis Hotel, where you can take big pictures with a telephoto lens, and it is also one of the best points to shoot the Potala Palace from a high position. Tips: 1. You can use your mobile phone as the foreground to take the feeling of Figure 4. 2. Hand-in-hand photos, if you have a Ta, you can check in with Ta. 3. Bring a tripod, the Potala Palace is also very beautiful at night, the lighting time is about: 9:00-11:15, so be sure to hurry up, now the sky is dark at about 9 o'clock. 4. Other shooting methods I see have also been taught, I won't talk to everyone more, the above points are all free, less crowded places, you can probably stroll around in an afternoon and evening. I hope it can help everyone leave beautiful memories in Lhasa. 5. Finally, remember to carry your ID card at all times, the checks here are relatively strict.

For the first time in Lhasa, I experienced the Lhasa St. Regis, and the overall feeling is quite good. Before checking in, I saw some evaluations on the Internet, and I was a little worried, but I didn't expect it to be superfluous! Maybe it's because it's the off-season in Lhasa recently, the service staff still take care of it very thoughtfully. The location of St. Regis in Lhasa is quite good, close to the Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, and Jokhang Temple. And from my taxi experience in Lhasa these few days, it's not difficult to take a taxi, basically all are seconds to accept the order. I booked a Potala Palace view room, although it is not a suite, but the room is also very large. Desk, bed, sofa, wash, basically each have an area. What's surprising is that there is a lot of Tibetan aesthetics in it, and you can see the Potala Palace from the three large windows, and it's very refreshing to live in it. The service staff I met at the hotel were very polite, and the upgrades and gifts that should be given were all given, and the yogurt in the check-in fruit was delicious~

When you come to Tibet, you must stay at the St. Regis Lhasa Resort. When you come to Lhasa, Tibet, you must stay at the St. Regis Resort. The experience I had with St. Regis was really great. I chose Shangri-La for the two nights when I first landed, and the St. Regis for the last two nights of my trip. Compared to Shangri-La Hotel, I am really satisfied with St. Regis. The service of the hotel butler Solang is also very good. One night in Lhasa, it was raining heavily. I waited for a long time in the restaurant but no bus took my order. The downstairs was full of tourists who couldn't wait for the bus. Fortunately, Suolang's housekeeper came to pick him up. When I bumped into him and saw him in casual clothes, I asked him about it and found out that he was on vacation today. I was very embarrassed. I was touched by this professionalism again This handsome Tibetan guy has given Ruigi points again~ The butler helped us make an appointment for afternoon tea with a view of the Ruigi Bu Palace and was very satisfied. In addition, the hotel's spa is also very comfortable Did a balanced trip, Tibetan Himalayas The beautician also did spa treatments for Faye Wong and Huo Siyan before
