Wang Xiaocao's Fast Travel

Wang Xiaocao has learned a little about some precautions for traveling in Tibet, among which the most important one is altitude sickness. Traveling is for fun, but once you have altitude sickness, you will feel very uncomfortable throughout the whole trip, and you will not be in the mood to have fun.

Wang Xiaocao: System, are there any medicines for altitude sickness in the mall?

System: Host, you deserve the altitude sickness medicine. It will take effect immediately after taking it and will be effective permanently.

Wang Xiaocao: How is the price? Is it expensive?

System: 500 gold coins.

Wang Xiaocao: There are only 404 gold coins in my wallet. Can’t you give me a discount?

System: Host, no, only daily necessities have discounts.

System: Don’t worry, you can get enough money by signing in for a few more days.

Wang Xiaocao: Okay.

Wang Xiaocao calculated that the five days she signed in would be enough to buy altitude sickness medicine, so she wouldn't be able to go to the discount area to enjoy the discounts in the next few days. She missed the opportunity to get a bargain, and she suddenly regretted withdrawing the gold coins so early.

However, altitude sickness medicine is too important for the next trip, and smart people know how to choose it. As long as the altitude sickness problem is solved, everything else is no longer a problem.

There are three ways to go to Tibet. One is to fly to Chengdu or Chongqing and transfer to Lhasa, which is the fastest and takes about five and a half hours. Another is to take a train from a certain sea to Lhasa, which takes more than 40 hours. The last one is to drive by yourself, which takes about three days and is relatively smooth. If there is any problem with the car during the journey, and you cannot drive while tired when driving by yourself, it will take longer.

Therefore, Wang Xiaocao could only choose the first two modes of transportation, and of course she chose airplane.

Next comes the preparations before traveling.

First of all, there are documents, such as ID card, bank card, driver's license, a small amount of cash, etc. Everything else is normal, except for cash, because there are many places in Tibet that require cash.

Then there are electrical appliances, such as cameras, mobile phones, selfie sticks, spare batteries, and drones, which are basically used for taking photos and videos.

Then comes clothes. In addition to some light clothes for changing, thermal underwear, thick cotton-padded clothes and pants, thick coats, gloves, scarves, and hats are all essential. The main reason is that the temperature difference between day and night in Tibet is particularly large. It may be summer during the day and winter at night. If you are very afraid of cold, you can just prepare a light down jacket.

Shorts and skirts are not allowed in many tourist attractions in Tibet, so she brought long pants as a way of reducing her luggage.

Then there are daily necessities. In addition to basic toiletries and skin care products, sunscreen products are also very important. The ultraviolet rays on the Tibetan plateau are very strong, so you must protect yourself from sunburn during the day. It should be noted that skin care products should not be in tubes, as they swell and leak easily on the plateau. It is better to bring bottled samples.

Finally, there are medicines, such as cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, and vitamins. The first two are essential medicines for every trip, and vitamins are needed because it is easy to get sick due to the lack of vitamins in the plateau, so vitamin C should be supplemented daily.

Another point is that you must pay more attention to some local customs and habits during your travels. No matter where you go, you must respect their local culture. For example, when Tibetans stick out their tongues to you, it means friendship rather than ridicule, and when they put their hands together, it means they are thanking you. For example, don't touch the heads of Tibetans with your hands, especially children. For example, many lakes in Tibet are local holy lakes, so don't take off your shoes when you go into the water. For example, the Potala Palace explicitly prohibits taking photos inside.

In this way, your preparations are complete and you can set off for Tibet with peace of mind.

On the first day, Wang Xiaocao was rushing to catch a plane. The more than five-hour flight made her exhausted. Fortunately, she collected enough gold coins to drink altitude sickness potion in advance, otherwise, coupled with her physical discomfort, it would have been a disaster.

After taking a good rest in the hotel, her goal the next day was to visit some of the most popular attractions in Karasa, including the Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, and Zhaxi Monastery.

Needless to say, the Potala Palace is the most popular palace in Tibet. As a symbol of Tibet, it is a holy place in the hearts of all pilgrims. She can not only see a large number of historical relics collected in the palace, but also appreciate the wonderful architectural art of the Tibetan people. It is as if she has undergone a baptism of the soul in such a sacred atmosphere. Because she cannot take pictures inside, she can only take a panoramic photo of the outside, which is also very beautiful, just like a castle under the holy light of heaven, beautiful beyond words.

Barkhor Street is very lively and a gathering place for food. It is the most prosperous street in Lhasa. Therefore, it is very easy to check in for its special food. You can't stop eating. The main meals include soup and rice, curry beef, yogurt cake, Nepalese set meal, Tibetan fragrant pig, ghee roasted mushrooms, etc. Snacks include sweet tea for one yuan per cup, fried potato Tibetan noodles, Atiao milk tea, ancient tree yogurt, beef patties, etc.

In addition to delicious food, she also experienced a Tibetan costume photo shoot. The makeup of the Tibetan costume photo shoot highlights the wild and primitive feeling, plus the sunburn blush unique to Tibetan girls, and a full set of Tibetan costumes, so beautiful! Every girl is very beautiful!
