Tibet Autonomous Region (Tibetan: བོད་རང་སྐྱོང་ལྗོངས།,
Tibetan Pinyin: Poi Ranggyong Jong), the capital city of Lhasa, is located in
the southwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average altitude of over
4,000 meters, known as the "Roof of the World". The area of the
whole district is 1,202,230 square kilometers,
1. It is best to take the train and
watch the beautiful scenery all the way to Tibet
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou,
Chongqing, and Chengdu all have direct trains to Lhasa. From the departure
station to Lhasa, it basically takes more than 40 hours, two days and two
nights. The stops on the second half of these trains are basically the same.
Xi'an, Lanzhou, Xining, Golmud and so on, all these cities being also popular
tourist cities, so you can play all the way, and go to a city for a day or two
before continuing. In this way, you can go to Lhasa without knowing it, and it
is not easy to have a high reaction.
ps: The train from Golmud to Lhasa
should be arranged in the daytime as much as possible. This section of the
scenery is the most beautiful.
2. Unless time is very tight, it is
not recommended to fly
First, if you take a direct flight
to Lhasa, it is easy to get high. If you have no experience in the plateau, it
is best to go by train first. If you are short on time, you can take the plane
when you leave.
Second, you will see half of the
plateau scenery by plane than by train. The train will start supplying oxygen
after passing through Golmud, which means that the plateau has arrived, and
there are snow mountains all the way, as well as alpine snow fields, green
grasslands and wild animals. It can be seen everywhere. From time to time,
people will exclaim that they have seen Tibetan antelopes and so on. This is
something you can't experience by plane. And Chengdu to Lhasa flight is a
common route for travellers.
3. Self-driving
Both the Sichuan-Tibet line and the
Qinghai-Tibet line are acceptable. It is recommended to take the Qinghai-Tibet
line when entering Tibet for the first time. The road is good and it is not
easy to get stuck in traffic. Even an old driver can easily drive it. When you
return, you can consider taking the Sichuan-Tibet line. If you don’t see the
scenery of the Sichuan-Tibet line, it will be a lifetime regret. If you have
enough time, you can choose to go to Yunnan for a while, and then enter Tibet
through the Yunnan-Tibet line. The Rizhao Jinshan in Meili Snow Mountain is
very shocking.
4. Hiking, cycling
What you have to experience on the
way of cycling or hiking is not only physical consumption, but also a test of
perseverance. When you are desperate to climb over mountains and mountains, and
fight against violent storms, blizzards and hail along the way, your ability to
survive in the wild, Your ability to resist attacks will gradually improve,
your thinking about life will be more in-depth and expanded, your ability to be
alone will be strengthened, and you will be more grateful to those who care
about you. Only in this process can you reach a high level. If you feel
pleasure, you will have high-level thinking at a glance, which will be an
improvement for your future life.
