Brother, don’t be nervous, I have been working here for several years.
Lhasa City is very good, at least it has everything a modern city should have. Not many Northeasterners open restaurants here. I only saw a Northeastern-style restaurant a few days ago, but I didn't pay attention.
Don’t worry about life. The cost of shopping outside is only about 50% to 100% more expensive than at home, but when you go to the supermarket to buy something, it’s almost the same as at home. It saves money, and the salary is 2.5 times that of the mainland.
The farmers' market has a full range of vegetables, including potatoes, Chinese cabbage, eggplants, pumpkins, and lettuce. I can say that it is much more complete than North China and Northwest China, because I have been to these places. However, there are less vegetables in winter, because all the vegetable sellers have gone home, haha! The supply of meat is abundant. Even if there is no meat in the whole country, there is still meat here!
In winter, apples, oranges, bananas and pears are the main fruits. In summer, they are plentiful, including lychees and so on. It is enough to eat a piece of fruit (mainly oranges) every few days. There is no need to eat one piece a day. .
The climate is relatively dry. You will definitely feel like vomiting and your nose will bleed in the first few days after arriving. You should wear lipstick at this time, but not sunscreen. Men, black spots are fine. The purpose of drinking more water is not to replenish body fluids, but to make you vomit something. It'll be fine after this period of time. Of course, if you cook by yourself from the beginning and spend time with friends, you won't feel so uncomfortable. You can adjust your mood.
You can’t feel the temperature change much inside the house. It’s not hot in summer anyway. You need to wear more clothes when you stay indoors for a long time. It’s hard to say outside. It’s very hot in summer and you’ll lose a layer of your skin. Winter is very cold. But just wear a thicker down jacket. As long as it can be insulated, it won't be very cold. It can be minus 20 degrees at most, which is not as good as the Northeast.
Actually, what I said was very general, because I didn’t feel comfortable with it at all, so I didn’t go into many details. But after you come here, you'd better learn to speak Sichuan dialect, and don't speak Mandarin with a Northeastern accent outside. This is a skill, and you'll understand it when you come! The local Tibetans are easy to get along with, as long as you don't stare at anyone on the street and don't talk on the phone too loudly in front of others.
How far can it be from the city? If you are in Lhasa, you can take a taxi, 10-15. There are also buses, and a loop line is being built now, which is very convenient.
