Marketing methods that you need to pay attention to when traveling to Lhasa: 1. There is a fee to take pictures of Tibetan mastiffs and yaks on the banks of Yanghu Lake and Namtso Lake, usually around 20 yuan.
2. If you go to Linzhi, you will pass by the birthplace of Songtsen Gampo. When taking pictures of the gate, don’t take pictures of the Tibetan Mastiff at the door. You will be charged.
3. Do not buy Tibetan medicine, cordyceps, etc. on the roadside. Most of them are fake. If you want to buy them, it is best to go to a large pharmacy in Lhasa.
4. Don’t randomly negotiate prices with others for things you don’t plan to buy. You must buy them if they are done well, otherwise Tibetans will be very angry.
5. Most of the jewelry collections in Barkhor Street are handicrafts. Just buy them for fun. Don’t spend tens or hundreds of thousands on them.
There are also some things to note when traveling to Lhasa: 1. It doesn’t matter whether you enter the Potala Palace or not, but taking pictures is a must.
On the west side of the square, there is 50 yuan of RMB on the left and your bicycle on the right.
Tashidel!
2. Send a postcard from the Lhasa Post Office to China Post on the east side of Pianbu Palace Square. Postcards from the post office, with stamps, cost 2-3 yuan/piece.
The postcards from the "Paradise Time" travel bookstore in Lhasa are more beautiful, but also slightly more expensive, at 2-4 yuan/card, without stamps.
3. Be in a daze on Barkhor Street. There are a lot of open spaces on Barkhor Street to pray and bask in the sun.
When turning around, follow the flow of people clockwise, not in the reverse direction.
Have an affair while basking in the sun?
4. Have tea in front of Ramoche Temple. Finding Chinese-style petty bourgeoisie bars and restaurants and Tibetan-style sweet teahouses in Lhasa seems to be a no-brainer.
But if you want to experience real Tibetan food, you can go to the "Golden Tibetan Treasure Meal" at the gate of Ramoche Temple. The business is booming and all the people are Tibetans.
The menu is all in Tibetan, so you definitely can’t understand it.
But the food depends on whether you are used to it or not.
The Canggu Temple Teahouse next to Canggu Temple is also good.
5. Go to a bar in Lhasa. If you open a bar in Lhasa without any story, characteristics or cultural heritage, it is basically difficult to survive.
"Paradise Time" is a recommended book bar. You may be able to find books you can't find in the mainland.
The Short House Music Bar (focusing on Indian and Nepali music) and Fengzhuan Coffee (bicycle theme) are both worth visiting.
6. Visit Barkhor Mall. The department store stalls on Barkhor Street in the early years have been moved here: the intersection of Beijing East Road and Linkuo East Road.
How about buying some souvenirs to go back to work on business?
Chongsai Kang Market on Beijing East Road is another optional place for shopping.
