Tibet is a place that everyone who loves traveling wants to go! The magnificent buildings with mysterious colors, the vast sacred lake with plateau characteristics and the majestic mountain with mysterious breath are all good places for everyone to travel and take photos! Before you travel to Tibet, you must make arrangements in advance, go to the most beautiful Tibetan attractions at the most appropriate time, taste the most beautiful Tibetan food and experience the most interesting Tibetan tourism projects. According to my experience in traveling to Sichuan and Tibet, I will share some money-saving strategies for playing in Sichuan and Tibet, hoping to help you.

Travel time:

The off-season in Tibet is from November to April, during which many scenic spots are free, so friends who want to save money can choose to travel to Tibet in winter ~

Transportation

1. Flying

Choosing the off-season or discount period to buy air tickets can save a lot of money. In addition, choosing to transfer from Chengdu and Chongqing instead of flying directly to Lhasa can also reduce the cost of air tickets.

2. Trains

It is suggested to start from Lanzhou or Xining and take the Qinghai-Tibet Railway trains directly to Lhasa, which not only saves a lot of money compared with airplanes, but also can enjoy various different scenery along the way, such as the no man's land in Hoh Xil, the snow-capped mountains in Kunlun and the Namtso Lake.

3. Internal 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.

In Lhasa: It's 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's convenient and formal to take a taxi when they enter the city, and the price is about two-thirds of Didi's. There are many * * * electric cars in Lhasa. If you take a rickshaw, you must pay attention to the price before you get on it (some drivers say 3, and you will be told 3 when you get to the place)

Outside the city: it is recommended to sign up for a tour group, which may not be free to charter a car, but its advantage is that it includes not only all tickets but also accommodation (although the conditions are similar), which can actually save a lot of expenses.

Accommodation

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 2+ one night, but many of them not only have normal standard rooms, but also rooms like 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, Hada will be offered when I enter the door and good environmental facilities.

Food articles

You can choose to taste local specialty snacks and meals, 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 you go. I bought more than 1 snacks before I left and didn't finish them until I came back. Friends who walk alone can eat together with their friends in the hotel or peers (many of them know each other by chatting on the train).

articles for sightseeing

1. Attractions

Choosing free scenic spots or buying joint tickets can save 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, which can not only enjoy the natural scenery, but also understand the history and culture of Tibet.

2. Shopping

Ask about the price before buying something. I met some local people when I was buying medicine this time. It is clear that a few dollars of medicine will cost 3 yuan. In this case, everyone can ask him again (in general, he will not box you if you know the price of this thing).

oxygen is purchased as needed. Before going to Mount Everest, the tour guide will lead you to buy oxygen. The price is about 1L6. If you want to save money, you can prepare more oxygen bottles or oxygen pillows (it is said that Mount Everest will explode if you don't bring it, but several people on Mount Everest are holding oxygen pillows).

Souvenirs can be bought without Barkhor Street, and the price inside will be more expensive than that outside. There is a row of souvenirs downstairs in Namasude, so remember to bargain at half price!

? Tips:

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 alcohol and don't do strenuous exercise, such as running continuously and jumping high

3. Prepare some glucose and oxygen bottles to relieve

4. Never catch a cold and go to the plateau, which may easily cause pulmonary edema

Personal experience: Be careful of the pit: restaurants kill customers along the way, order food to see if it is clearly marked. Don't buy dried yak meat on the side of the road. It's not a beef souvenir at all. Remember to bargain hard and be careful of low-priced groups? I hope everyone can have a happy trip to Sichuan and Tibet.
