Don’t go to Tibet without reading this article! Tips for Painless 3-Day Trip to Avoid Altitude Sickness in Lhasa

🔔When the New Year's prayer wheel slowly turned 3680 circles I heard the purest echo of the snowy plateau⛰️ First time in Tibet, don't know how to plan? Take this sincere 3-day travel guide to Lhasa. The itinerary is relaxed and not tight, which can help you easily adapt to the altitude sickness. You can have a comfortable and enjoyable time even when you first arrive. Hurry up and like and collect it! 🚏Quick overview of the itinerary Day1️⃣: Tibet Museum→Norbulingka→Xingyue Bodhi Cafe (Potala Palace Viewing Store) 🌟Tibet Museum: The museum has a rich collection of items, from ancient Tibetan books to exquisite thangkas, from mysterious religious instruments to distinctive ethnic costumes, each of which carries the rich history of Tibet, helping you quickly build a cognitive framework for this land. 🌟Norbulingka: Across the road from the Tibet Museum, it is the pearl of Tibetan gardens. Palaces are scattered around, trees are shady, and Tibetan architecture blends perfectly with the natural landscape. Take a leisurely stroll and feel the unique charm of Tibetan gardens. 🌟Star Moon Bodhi Cafe: It’s the right place to come during afternoon tea time! The price per person is only 40r. You can order a pot of sweet tea, find a perfect spot, and wait for the sunset over the Potala Palace. Every shot you take will be a stunning piece. It's worth it! Day2️⃣Sera Monastery → Potala Palace Square 🌟Sera Monastery: Built on the mountain, it is magnificent and even more solemn under the blue sky and white clouds. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the debate venue was extremely lively, with monks debating fiercely. Although cameras were not allowed, mobile phones could be used to record this unique cultural spectacle. 🌟Potala Palace Square: In the evening, the square's musical fountain dances to the melody, and the water splashes under the lights are like a dream. In the distance, the Potala Palace, decorated with lights, exudes a sacred and solemn atmosphere, so beautiful that it is breathtaking. Day3️⃣Potala Palace→Barkhor Street→Jokhang Temple 🌟Potala Palace: Be sure to book tickets in advance and enter on time. The White Palace and the Red Palace fully display the unique style of Tibetan architecture, and the exquisite murals and precious Buddha statues are dazzling. Climb up to the observation deck, and you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Lhasa city, and every shot you take will be a blockbuster. 🌟Barkhor Street: A street full of Tibetan style, with many shops and a wide variety of Tibetan handicrafts. Each piece embodies the wisdom and ingenuity of the Tibetan people. You can choose as many as you want and bring the beautiful memories home. 🌟Jokhang Temple: The temple is filled with incense and smoke. The believers kowtowed devoutly with focused and determined expressions, which was deeply moving. The life-size statue of Sakyamuni at the age of 12 enshrined in the temple is the most sacred in the hearts of believers and attracts countless people to worship. ⚠️Guide to anti-altitude sickness: 1️⃣Prevention in advance: Take Rhodiola rosea 1 week before arriving in Tibet to prepare your body. 2️⃣Choose the right hotel: give priority to hotels with oxygen supply equipment to alleviate the effect of altitude sickness: diffuse oxygen supply > oxygen concentrator oxygen supply > no clear oxygen supply facilities. 3️⃣ Notes: Do not wash your hair or take a bath two days before arriving in Tibet, ensure adequate sleep, and keep the itinerary relaxing and leisurely to give your body enough time to adapt. Save this guide now, come to Lhasa for a winter date, and experience the purity and beauty of the plateau!
