1, can fly
You can save a lot of money by choosing off-season or discount period to buy air tickets. In addition, choosing to transfer from Chengdu and Chongqing instead of flying directly to Lhasa can also reduce the cost of air tickets.
2. Train
It is suggested to take the Qinghai-Tibet Railway train directly from Lanzhou or Xining to Lhasa, which not only saves a lot of money than the plane, but also enjoys different scenery along the way, such as the no-man's land in Hoh Xil, Kunlun Snow Mountain and Namtso Lake.
3. Domestic transportation
In Tibet, you can choose public transportation, such as buses and trains, instead of renting or chartered cars, which can save a lot of money.
Inside Lhasa: It is cheaper to take a taxi directly than Didi. Like us, many people may be afraid to take a taxi as soon as they leave the station, but it is convenient and formal to take a taxi after entering the city, and the price is about two-thirds of Didi. There are many electric cars in Lhasa. If you take a rickshaw, you must pay attention to the price before getting on (some drivers say 30, and I will tell you 30 when we arrive).
Outside the city: the chartered tour may not be free, but its advantage is that it not only covers all the tickets, but also includes accommodation (although the conditions are similar), which can actually save a lot of money.
Accommodation supplies
Choosing budget hotels or inns instead of high-end hotels can also reduce the cost of tourism. In addition, choosing a homestay with local characteristics is also a good choice, which can better experience the local culture.
The average price of better hotels in Lhasa is 200+ one night, but many of them not only have normal standard rooms, but also rooms such as youth travel, and rent a bed for tens of yuan, which is very suitable for small partners who travel alone. Here, I recommend my hotel: Luooga boutique B&B, with good service and good environmental facilities.
Diet articles
You can choose to taste local snacks and restaurants, which can not only experience local culture, but also save food and beverage expenses.
Eating in Tibet is not cheap, especially on the way to Shigatse. It's a long story You can prepare more snacks and instant noodles before going. I bought more than 100 snacks before I left, and I didn't finish them until I came back. A friend who walks alone can have a fight with friends or colleagues in the hotel (many of whom were met by chatting on the train).

1, scenic spots
Choosing free scenic spots or buying joint tickets can save the cost of scenic spots. At the same time, you can choose some scenic spots that combine natural scenery with cultural sites, such as Potala Palace and Barkhor Street, so that you can enjoy the natural scenery and understand the history and culture of Tibet.
Step 2 shop
Ask the price before you buy something. I met some local people when I bought medicine this time. It is clear that a few dollars of medicine costs 30 yuan. In this case, you can ask him again (generally you know the price of this thing, he won't box you).
Oxygen should be purchased on demand. Before going to Everest, the tour guide will take you to buy oxygen. The price is around 10L600. If you want to save money, you can prepare more oxygen bottles or oxygen pillows (it is said that Mount Everest will explode without them, but there are several people holding oxygen pillows on Mount Everest).
You can buy souvenirs without Barkhor Street, and the price inside will be more expensive than outside. There is a row of souvenirs downstairs in Namaste. Remember to bargain at half price!
? Tips for preventing high reaction:
1. It is very useful to eat rhodiola one week in advance.
2. Don't take a shower and wash your hair when you first arrive at the plateau, don't drink, and don't do strenuous exercise, such as running continuously and jumping high.
3, prepare some glucose and oxygen bottles, which can alleviate.
4, don't catch a cold and go to the plateau, which is easy to cause pulmonary edema.
Personal experience: beware of the pit:
Hotels kill guests along the way, and order to see if the price is clearly marked.
Don't buy dried yak meat on the roadside, it's not beef at all.
Souvenir water is deep, remember to bargain hard.
Beware of low-priced groups? Will take you shopping and eat expensive meals.
I hope you have a pleasant trip to Sichuan and Tibet!
