Don’t be nervous, I have been working here for several years.
Just come in directly. Normal people will get used to it in three days at most. But the first night is difficult and difficult to fall asleep. After you have stayed in Tibet, you will basically have no reaction when you come back. You can get used to it in one day. Slow down.
If you are worried, prepare a humidifier and a little Gaoyuanan. Don’t take other medicines indiscriminately. Also, pay attention to keeping warm. The weather has been unstable recently, and don’t eat too bland food, especially sour food. , it is easy to vomit.
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 50-100 more expensive than at home, but when you go to the supermarket to buy it, it is 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 abundant, 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. At this time, you should wear lipstick instead of sunscreen. 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 have so many discomforts. Just adjust your mood.
You can’t feel how much the temperature changes inside the house. It’s not hot in the 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 the 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 too cold. It can reach minus 20 degrees Celsius 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 very 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 ring line is being built now, which is very convenient.
