Many travelers have superstitious fears about Tibet and always want to bring more equipment to make themselves safer. Actually, it's not necessary

When traveling in Tibet, the luggage should be as little as possible, but it must be enough. Carrying a heavy backpack on the plateau is a great burden. The principle of carrying things is light and practical. If possible, don't bring unnecessary things to the plateau and make full use of local facilities and services. In addition, considering moving frequently, don't have more than two pieces of luggage.

knapsack

The difficulty of the place you plan to go determines the size of your backpack. If you want to go to a remote place, or take part in some outdoor activities, such as going to the holy mountain and camping by the holy lake, then two backpacks, one big and one small, should be a reasonable choice. If it's not a long trip, you don't need a backpack of more than 45 liters.

Some travelers are used to carrying wallets. Be careful not to put them in the town behind you.

Dress

The overall temperature in Tibet is much lower than that in inland areas of the same latitude, especially in mountain passes and high altitude areas. Moreover, the wind is strong, and the rain and snow come suddenly, which brings a lot of trouble to travel clothes.

So down jackets are necessary, unless you only plan to go to Lhasa and Shigatse for a group tour in July and August. Even in the hottest summer, in the Himalayas and Ali, it is generally around 0℃ at night, and the mountain pass is colder. At the same time, the temperature difference between day and night in the plateau is large, and even in the warmest season every year, the weather is still cold in the morning and evening. If you are mainly active in the Yalong River valley, wear a down vest or sweater, and add a waterproof and windproof coat when it is cold.

If you go hiking or climbing in Tibet, you should also prepare a set of sweat-wicking underwear. In the wild, it is very troublesome to have sweat sticking to your body, and it will quickly take away your heat, which is very dangerous.

In addition, warm fleece is also indispensable.

All equipment, including coats, trousers and shoes, should be waterproof. It rains almost every day in July and August in Tibet, and the waterproof performance of clothes is not good, which is really unimaginable. In the rainy season, there is a lot of urgent rain in Lhasa at night, while the rain in Linzhi and other areas is much more frequent.

sleeping bag

It is warm enough to bring a 1 kg duck down sleeping bag in July and August. Buying more than 80% cashmere is not much bigger than a large bottle of coke after compression, and it is also very convenient to carry. If it is still too large, it can be compressed by a set of compression belts, or the volume can be reduced by 1/3.

It is best to bring a moisture-proof pad, too. In some places, when you need to live in an ordinary house or a highway class, all you can provide is an empty stone house. Even if you have a sleeping bag, you can't sleep directly on the ground.

shoe

Travel needs a good pair of shoes, especially in Tibet. Waterproofing is particularly important in the rainy season in Tibet.

The best choice is hiking shoes with hard soles and high tops. Especially when hiking, the road surface is often not very good, and high-heeled hard-soled shoes are not easy to enter the sand, avoiding licking or stepping on their feet, and are not easy to fall off when crossing muddy ground. Moreover, hiking shoes are waterproof and warm. If you really need higher water resistance, you can cooperate with waterproof foot covers to protect your trouser legs from being wet by rain.

Cotton socks are best matched with hiking shoes, so that the feet and shoes are more tightly attached. If you have to walk a long way, wear an extra pair of socks. If they are new shoes, you'd better wear them a few days in advance so as to run in. At the same time, I suggest you bring a pair of slippers to avoid taking a bath barefoot in the bathroom.

Autopilot equipment

When traveling by car, you must bring necessary outdoor supplies, tents and sleeping bags are best taken into account, and a can of gas (or oil stove), the simplest and most reliable burner and a pressure cooker may also help you. The gas tank must be fixed during transportation. Also remember not to overload your luggage. Cherokee generally has no more than 4 people, and Toyota Land Cruiser has no more than 5 people.

Bicycle landing gear

There should be enough materials and equipment, such as tents, sleeping bags, drinking water and food for 2 ~ 3 days, various medicines and so on. The requirement for clothing is breathable and wear-resistant. It is better to have a cycling suit. Underwear with good breathability and perspiration and a windproof and rainproof coat are also important.

No matter how strong and expensive your bike is, you must learn to repair it yourself. The brake shoes and tires of automobiles wear very quickly, and the bumps on the road surface do serious damage to the axle ball. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a complete set of small repair tools, mainly including: adjustable wrench; Screwdriver size each one; One or two fixed wrenches, depending on the specific situation of the screws on the car, are mainly used for brake screws; Sheet wrench is used to adjust the tightness of the wheel; Steel ring for adjusting the spoke tightness; Rubber, patching and filing for tire repair; A pair of pliers; A pump is obviously necessary. In addition, a screw socket wrench for tightening the pedal shaft may be needed; Whether a hexagon wrench is needed depends on the type of faucet screw; In addition, there must be at least two spare inner tubes, a chain, several brake shoes, screws and nuts, and a long and short brake line; A variable speed line and several oils; Some wire; 2 ~ 3 rubber straps for luggage (if luggage is tied with rope, it will definitely be loose); Wait a minute.

Professional long-distance bicycles have shelves at the front and rear, and luggage is also packed, which reduces the center of gravity and improves the stability of the car. You can also follow suit and weld a solid front frame or front frame for your car. You can put some weight, such as food and water or things you often need to bring in front to reduce the load on the rear tires.

Whether riding a bumpy dirt road or a flat road, remember to overhaul the car once a day, mainly to check whether the screws are loose.

Guide to self-help travel in Tibet

Let's introduce the self-help tourism project. Including routes, scenic spots, accommodation, transportation, expenses, precautions and emergency measures; Many travel experts I know from the Internet, most of whom are very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, have specially opened such a column for more friends to take us around.

I went to Tibet and wasted a lot of time and money because no one took me. I was very sad and decided to write this article to help my later friends.

This guide only represents personal views.

This guide needs the help of friends who have been to Tibet. Thank you.

1999 only stayed in Tibet for a month and didn't go to many places.

I advocate backpacking, which is unnecessary for travelers on business or being received.

I am interested in Tibet: architecture, culture, scenery and food.

My current plan: go to Xinjiang and Kashmir Plateau. Anyone who is interested in going with me can contact me.

My personal situation: a/s = 35/ Male, can't drive, and live frugally when traveling. I come from Beijing and don't have much money.

Contact information: gototibet 1st@sina.com.

For those who have never been to Tibet, Tibet is like a dream. For those who have been to Tibet, Tibet is still a dream, because you have fallen in love with her, but you have no chance to see her again.

Beijing

China citizens do not need to apply for border permits to go to Tibet.

Anyone who goes to Mount Everest, Ali, Pulan (China-Nepal border) or Zhangmu Town (China-Nepal border) needs a border pass, and those who go to Zada (Tulin) need to apply for a cultural inspection certificate in advance.

It is best to apply for the above documents in Beijing, about two weeks in advance.

If you wait until Lhasa to apply for the above documents, you can only choose to spend a sum of money or go to the above areas with a group.

Foreigners who go to Tibet together must apply for border permits; If you want to go to the above-mentioned border areas, you must contact travel agencies and organize group tours.

A temporary tour group can be organized in Lhasa. If there are foreigners in the tour group, there must be a guide. Tour guides can be replaced by members through consultation with travel agencies.

Unless you go to Tibet for less than 7 days, it is not recommended to go by plane. If you fly, the adaptation period of altitude sickness is very long, and there are many places to pay attention to. Once the adjustment is not good, it is easy to get sick.

Xining, a very "local" city, is not as developed as Yanqing and Fangshan.

Accommodation is limited to 60 yuan/room/day, and it is best to live near the railway station.

Xining-Ta 'er Temple: Hong Xiao * * 10-20 yuan

Ta 'er Temple-Xining: Chartered 50-80 yuan

The food in Xining is not as delicious as that in other cities in northwest China. It can only be swallowed, but it is bulky and cheap.

The weather in Xining is similar to that in Beijing. It's a little cold in the shade and a little hot in the sun.

There are many IP phones, and mobile phones can also be used.

Mainly by public transportation and taxis.

Recommended: Ta 'er Temple! Xining is very rustic, but Ta 'er Temple is great. Time: one day

Recommended: Bird Island in Qinghai Lake! Due to seasonal reasons, sometimes you can not go to Qinghai Lake and Bird Island. You can ask local people or hotel attendants for details. Xining people are very simple. Time: one day.

I did not succeed.

Time: plus the train to Ta 'er Temple, Bird Island and Qinghai Lake, it takes two and a half to four days in Xining.

The same small handicrafts are cheaper than those in Tibet, but some of them are slightly inferior in quality. Buy it if you like!

Golmud-stuffy town, leave immediately if there is a car, don't delay for a minute.

Ticket price: Xining-Golmud: 120 yuan/person.

Golmud-Lhasa: 200 yuan/person or so.

Food: similar to Xining, more expensive and dirtier than Xining.

Weather: It's similar to Xining.

The mobile phone can still be used

The long-distance bus station is close to the railway station, and there is a long-distance bus to Lhasa from noon 12 to 1. However, there are many people and few tickets, so you should queue up to buy tickets immediately after getting off the bus. There are many private coaches. This car is in poor condition and is prone to accidents on the road. A friend of mine took more than 50 hours to get to Lhasa because of an accident on the road.

Don't make mistakes when you are busy. Put the medicine against altitude sickness on the roof. Wet tissue, kettle and leaf soap are very useful on the road.

It was dirty all the way, both inside and outside the car.

Pass Tanggula Pass around 0/2 pm/KLOC-.

You can tell the driver that it is convenient to get off at any time, and the driver will definitely help you in Lhasa-if the journey goes well, you will probably arrive in Lhasa the next afternoon or evening.

Find a star-rated hotel to stay in, preferably a new one. As long as you are in good health, take a hot bath, go to bed no matter how early, be sure to keep warm, don't catch a cold, take some cold medicine and drink plenty of boiled water. You can get up late the next day to ensure a good rest. Remember that you have reached an altitude of 3900 meters. Don't make fun of your health.

Be sure to have a good rest.

Be sure not to catch a cold.

Recommended: Shambhala Hotel: This hotel was built in 1999, in the city center, close to Jokhang Temple. It's three-star, clean 1999, good service and extremely comfortable. If you go to Lhasa before 200 1, you can choose here. Tel (089 1)6323577 standard room: about 300 yuan/room/day.

Recommended: Lhasa Hotel: Some hotels are like Beijing Hotel in Beijing, which is five-star and far from the city center, so it is inconvenient to do things the next day.

: (Never lived.

Weather: To tell the truth, it's similar to Beijing, slightly colder, with a large temperature difference between day and night. I wear short sleeves at noon and cotton-padded jacket at night.

The next day: the Potala Palace in Norbulingka

When you go to Potala Palace, you can ask the local children how to get behind the mountain, which is much cheaper. Tickets are around 50 yuan.

Be sure to go to the bank to change a dime, and just take photos and ask for a dime. 5 yuan-10 yuan per person is enough.

Give up the room in a star hotel and stay in a Tibetan hotel. Clean and cheap. The daily house price is around 30 yuan, and there are public bathrooms and public toilets. There may be a time limit in the bathroom. Waiters are usually local Tibetans, and there is laundry service, which is much cheaper than hotels. But hand washing is usually a room for three or four people. Four people in a room may come from three or four countries, which is very interesting and comfortable.

Recommended: kirey Hotel: It is close to Jokhang Temple, and the restaurant of kirey Hotel has Tibetan music performances every day. There are many people watching, and those who want to watch need to be seated early.

Recommended: Balangxue Hotel. It's close to Jokhang Temple, but it's farther than auspicious day.

If there are fewer than five or more people traveling with you and you want to go to places like Mount Everest, Zhangmu or Ali, post posts in hotels and travel agencies, and clearly write down the number of people you need, the place you want to go, the departure time and contact information. Or if you see any suitable posts, please contact them immediately.

There are many IP phones, and mobile phones can also be used.

In the evening, you can go to a Tibetan restaurant near Jokhang Temple (that is, Bajiao Street, which is also called Barkhor Street by locals) for dinner, and go to Barkhor Street to ask for the price.

Gourmet: Pure Tibetan yogurt, buttered tea, milk tea and highland barley wine are all delicious. There are many restaurants and some bars near Barkhor Street.

Recommendation: There is a small Muslim restaurant on the corner near the post and telecommunications hotel. The oil cake mutton soup is delicious, and I still want to eat it now.

Recommendation: There is a mutton hotpot restaurant opened by the northeast between Jokhang Temple and Potala Palace in beijing east road, which tastes authentic.

Recommended: Gangji Restaurant: Facing Jokhang Temple, the balcony on the second floor can enjoy the warm sunshine and leisurely life in Lhasa.

Human tricycles, bicycles and taxis are the main cities in Lhasa.

Don't buy a favorite gift, ask the price.

In Bajiao Street, whether it's 8: 00 a.m. or 6: 00 p.m., the boss will say that it's not open yet. Please open a ticket for me, with a slight reduction.

Once the deal is made, they will knock all his goods with the money you paid, probably to make all his goods rich.

Time: one day

Eat when you are full, at most 70% full, unless you are in good health, you can try it. Nothing had happened. I have seen people who suffer from altitude sickness because they eat one more chicken leg.

In Tibet, apart from Tibetan, English is more useful than Chinese, especially the Lama, who knows English far more than Chinese.

Don't say anything that doesn't respect the beliefs of gods and people when you enter any temple. It's a matter of courtesy! I have met some tourists whose character is so low that they don't even know the minimum manners. If you can't guarantee this, don't go to Tibet to embarrass the people of China! ! !

In the evening, it is very interesting to find a bar to drink beer or highland barley wine and chat with foreigners, whether speaking English to the French or speaking German to the Americans.

The birthplace of Tibet is rich in thousands of treasures and low in altitude.

If you want to go to Qianzang, but you don't have time or interest to take the Sichuan-Tibet highway, you'd better go to Qianzang first, because Qianzang has a lower altitude and the food is much better than the back.

Shannan (Zedang Town)-Apart from many Tibetans, it is more like a small town in the mainland.

Transportation: Lhasa-Zedang, you need to rent a car in 200 yuan, that is, 50 yuan per person. You can stop in Lhasa in the morning and arrive in Lhasa-Zedang, or you can take a long-distance bus, but there is a time limit and the price is unknown. It is within 20 yuan, but the departure time is very early.

The streets are full of crude versions of hot pot city, karaoke halls and even braised pork shops.

There is no public transportation except long-distance buses, and there are many taxis and human tricycles. The town is small enough to walk, and the accommodation is generally around 30 yuan/day/room.

From Zedang Town, you can go to Yongbulakang and Sanye Temple, and there is also a high mountain nearby for lamas to practice. There is a scenic spot near Sanye Temple. In autumn, the river is full of red leaves, which is very strange and beautiful.

Weather: Bilasa is slightly humid, and the temperature is similar.

There are many IP phones, and mobile phones can also be used.

Attractions: Yongbulakang-the first Zamba Castle, known as the birthplace of Tibet. If you are not interested in architecture and man-made landscape, you can not go.

Recommendation: This is the best tower building I have ever seen.

Transportation: Just take a taxi and charter a car from Milin 100 yuan. Some people walk from Zedang town to Yongbulakang, and it takes 3 hours to walk (emergency March). Tickets 10 yuan.

Attractions: Samye Temple-a combination of Indian architecture, China architecture and Tibetan architecture. It is very distinctive and you can take photos at will. Compared with the lamas in Lhasa, the lamas here

There is also a sense of detachment. On the way, I have to cross a big river that I don't know whether it is Lhasa River or Yarlung Zangbo River (I will call it Yarlung Zangbo River).

If you arrive at Sanye Temple in the morning, you will definitely eat here at noon. In the restaurant here, you will see flies that are rare in Tibet, and the taste and hygiene of the food are also poor. Buy it and throw it away. Might as well put up with them.

The food in Lama canteen is very good. Anyway, if you have time, you can go to their canteen and have a meal with Lama. On the way back to Lhasa, you can go to Sanye Temple. A 50-dollar wallet car may be more expensive than Laize Dang Town.

If you are lucky, you can follow the Tibetans who want to enter the stupa. This is a sacred feeling. Tickets, 30 yuan.

Linzhi-Bayi

Sorry, I didn't go. But I heard that the scenery along the way is excellent

Recommended: You can watch Tibet tourism, Linzhi album, and Jiang Hao's Tibet-A Visit at the End of the Century.

Lhasa

If no one asks you to go to Ali and other places, please contact the travel agency or the hotel lobby lady to find a car to go to Ali. Actually, it's better to solve this matter before going to hide.

The travel agency's route is difficult to change, but in order to attract you to organize a group, they will make some concessions on the price, and apply for a border card for you free of charge, and you can get a discount of 10% -95%, but the cost is more expensive than finding a private car.

Generally, the vehicles of travel agencies are not their own, but social vehicles they often rent, but the vehicles are in good condition, and the situation of finding private cars is sometimes bad, sometimes better than that of travel agencies.

If you go with a group, the driver doesn't have to pay extra for room and board, so it's hard to say about the private car. You must make an appointment with the driver in advance.

Each carriage can seat 5-6 people (excluding drivers).

Only Mitsubishi Jeeps, Toyota Jeeps and trucks can leave Shigatse, and so can Beijing Jeeps and Cherokee of the public security system.

You can go anywhere by bike, because drivers don't risk their lives. They must contact each other on the road, usually three or four cars go together.

If a truck follows, the speed will be very slow. There is no need to bring a truck unless you have money.

Private car fees should not be paid in one lump sum, but can be paid by installments through negotiation.

It will be cheaper if you hitchhike along the way. Some drivers on business trips earn some money and give people a lift. And their speed is very fast, and their desire to take pictures along the way will be satisfied. They are very willing to chat with people and Tibet, but they don't necessarily have cars every day.

Transportation: The price of going to Ali and Mount Everest is calculated by kilometers, and the upper limit is 3-4 yuan/kilometer, which is generally not lower than 2 yuan/kilometer.

Recommendation: CYTS office near Jokhang Temple has a good attitude.

The rock paintings in Sera Temple are colorful and absolutely works of art..

Attractions: drepung monastery-with the largest Thangka, drepung monastery is very famous for sunbathing Buddha.

Attractions: Jokhang Temple and Jokhang Temple-famous for being the palaces of two concubines, Songzan Gambu, with strong incense, especially Jokhang Temple. There are good men and women who kowtow inside and outside.

Check your equipment before you go to Ali.

Food: Fruit, cucumber, instant noodles (Ali's instant noodles 8 yuan/bowl), canned food (delicious canned fish), biscuits and water.

Drugs: cold medicine, aspirin, stomach medicine, soluble vitamin tablets (after eating fruit, Shierkang is far less effective than soluble vitamin tablets, according to 2 tablets/day/person)

Others: sleeping bags (not cold, but dirty accommodation), flashlights, raincoats, toilet paper, paper towels, sunglasses (snow blindness is the best), sunscreen, down jacket, and a dirty long dress that can be thrown away (there are few WC along the way, so it can be solved on the spot when it is convenient). This kind of long dress can be carried by women without finding a quiet place.

Men don't need to bring this), some toiletries (only Zhangmu Town, Namco and Mabian Yongcuo can take a bath on the road, and Shiquan River may also have it), and film.

Space in the car is limited, so it's best not to bring useless things. You can store them in the hotel. Most hotels have this free service, which is very safe.

It's useless to leave Shigatse.

Food must be packed, they will be put together with gasoline, and it will easily smell like gasoline-look. If you don't go to Zhangmu Town, this is the last modern town you see. The planned roads, street lamps and cement houses stay in 30 yuan/day/person (except Gangrenbo Qi Feng, the accommodation price has basically remained around 30 yuan since then).

Some buses to Everest may take a day to drive directly to Dingri or Rongbu Temple. This happens when the car is in good condition, the driver is very strong and the money has not been paid. At your strong request, it is not recommended to set the date or the Rongbu Temple so hard-there are many castle ruins near the date, which is the photographer's favorite.

If you have physical strength, go to the base camp and drink plenty of water when climbing mountains. This is the remedy to eliminate hypoxia.

Pay environmental protection fees.

Climb Mount Everest? Is it really that interesting? Are you a professional mountaineer? How high do you think you can climb? Why not go to Gangrinpoche and change mountains?

B I didn't go.

Zhangmu Town-I have a very unpatriotic friend who said when he entered Zhangmu Town, "If imperialism takes Zhangmu Town, I will fight as a soldier and take it back." From Nyalam Mountain to Zhangmu Town, the scenery along the way is excellent, the road is steep and the ancient trees are towering. You will see the sea of clouds under your feet in Nyalam, and you will drive the clouds on the road. Only in Zhangmu Town will you know that it is raining at the foot of the mountain. On the way, the car will pass several waterfalls (meaning that the car passes under the waterfall and the water rushes on the roof). There are many Nepalese logging and many beautiful Nepalese trucks along the way. Zhangmu Town is a typical banded mountain city, that is, a mountain city built along Panshan Road. There are both reinforced concrete buildings and simple wooden houses, where Han, Tibetan and Nepalese live together.

It is possible to reach Zhangmu Town in the evening or afternoon. Don't look for a hotel yet. Apply for exit permit and take a one-day trip to Kathmandu. All you need is an ID card, a border card and a little money.

Weather: subtropical climate, warm and rainy.

There is only one satellite phone. Whether you can get through depends on the weather and luck.

be on foot

Recommended: the hotel closest to the border checkpoint.

Gourmet: Not only delicious Sichuan food, but also delicious western food. There are many bars, and Nepalese curry rice is also very cheap.

Mainly from India, there are also some smuggled goods from the west, such as Swiss watches and sabers, which are more expensive than Kathmandu.

Recommendation: Nepalese knives and real sabers can never be bought in Beijing.

Are you ready for the movie? This is a good place to take pictures. Time: one day.

Nepal-Kathmandu

Sorry, I can't come. )

Time: one day

Saga-a Growing Big City

Payang, a village on the way, has simple folk customs. There is a peasant woman who sings very well. Their highland barley wine is delicious.

Saga-Payan passed by Zhongba on the way. There is a hill next to the old Zhongba, and there is a temple on it. There are many ceramic Buddha statues and stone tablets engraved with scriptures beside the temple, which can be taken at will.

There is a small temple in Payang village, which is full of sheep's heads and cows' heads engraved with scriptures. I want to know who has physical strength.

Yongcuo on Mabian-Gangrenboqi-this is the most sacred place in the world. If you want to climb the mountain, go to Gangrinpoche-Shenshan (the photo put in front of the Tibetan driver's car is not Mount Everest, but Gangrinpoche).

If you want to turn to the lake, go to Yongcuo in Mabian, one of the three holy lakes in Tibet, which is famous for its sacredness.

Recommended: Go to Gangrinpoche and transfer to the mountain.

Mabian Yongcuo can take a hot spring bath.

Food: poor and expensive, but I can't help it. On the contrary, the hot buns that migrant workers eat in the canteen are delicious.

Non-active athletes must never dream of finishing the mountain in one day, it's too dangerous.

The climate in mountainous areas is changeable. Don't think that down jackets and sleeping bags are useless. In the event of a snowstorm, we will meet.

Bring a kettle, not water. The ground is cleaner than pure water, snow, water and river water.

Indian ascetic monks can be seen bathing in rivers below 0℃

Time: 1-2 days (mountain transfer) 4-5 days (lake transfer)

Weather: unpredictable-10℃- 10℃

It costs money to stay in 50 yuan/day/person. Exit 15 yuan/China citizens.

Call, no way

Zada-soil forest-caused by the great power of nature

Sorry, I can't make it on time. What a pity.

Shiquanhe —— the resident of prefectural party committee and administrative office in Ali region.

Guge City-A man who spent several months filming in Tibet said: Guge Castle is the best in Tibet.

Sorry, I can't make it on time. What a pity

Japan's Soil —— Schizothorax Fish of Ban Gong Cuo

Sorry, I can't make it on time. What a pity

Naqu

Resolutely and strongly demand to start from northern Tibet and cross the no-man's land in Hoh Xil, northern Tibet. Groups of wild horses, wild yaks, wild donkeys and antelopes are running in front of and behind the car. Probably much like the scene in The Lion King, the highway in northern Tibet is called the expressway of Tibet by Tibetans. Make sure the car is in good condition.

The horse racing festival in that song is very famous, around mid-August. It's much more interesting than going to Namco. Namco, one of the three holy lakes in Tibet, is famous for its high altitude.

Sorry, I can't arrive on time. What a pity.

Lhasa-There are two flights from Lhasa to Beijing every week. Every Wednesday and Sunday, there is an airport bus to Gongga Airport every day. There are many hotels at the airport as soon as possible, which are not expensive. The food near the airport is poor, but it's a little expensive. The air ticket from Lhasa to Beijing is about 2000 yuan (including airport construction fee and airport bus fee).

Don't buy a plane ticket for the same day, there are still many places to go.

If you leave at once, go to Barkhor Street to buy gifts.

Recommendation: Gems are sold by the gram, so it is best not to buy them in stalls, because there are many fakes.

Turquoise: Hardness is similar to that of glass. Irregular turquoise can be scratched on the glass without leaving scratches.

20 yuan, slightly bigger than pigeon eggs, has a rope.

Beeswax: You can burn it. No paste, if there is scattered incense, it should be more authentic and slightly larger than pigeon eggs.

The big one is probably 40 yuan, with a rope.

Tibetan Dao, ordinary wooden bowl, color bond code

Other casual, some small things that I don't like in Lhasa may be more popular when I come back.

Bargain at least half the price.

Yangzhuoyongcuo, one of the three holy lakes in Tibet, is famous for its beauty.

Suggestion: Don't miss it, you will regret it.

Shigatse
