[Experience Sharing - Good Articles on In-depth Tour in Tibet]

Recently I just returned to Malaysia from Tibet and had a 10-day and 9-night trip. This trip was really enjoyable. We spent only RMB 6,580 per person on the entire itinerary, and visited the most popular attractions such as Lhasa, Yamdrotto, Namcuo, Linzhi, Everest Base Camp, and the Potala Palace. The most important thing is to find a very reliable local travel agency full-time foreign guest guide - Yuanyuan. She not only took us to have fun, but also saved a lot of money. If you plan to go to Tibet, but don’t want to do complicated strategies yourself, you can add Yuanyuan’s WeChat to let her design a supporting itinerary for free (Yuanyuan WeChat ID→)15692655018(Click to copy and add friends, and you can customize the play plan for free))Because her service reputation is very good, every time I have a friend who travels to China, I recommend asking her for free consultation.

I have been to Tibet, China twice. First of all, I will tell you very clearly: The famous attractions in Tibet are distributed in different areas. We are consulting local tour guides in Tibet in advance to help with tourism guides.

remind：Foreign guests go to Tibet - Tibet tickets, purchasing Qinghai-Tibet Railway, booking hotels in Lhasa, and applying for Tibet and border defense certificates are all required in advance!

We didn't consider finding a local Malaysian travel agency at that time, so we wanted to travel freely and planned to travel for 12 days and 11 nights. We did a lot of strategies ourselves and were dazzled. In the end, the budget was about 20,000 yuan per person, which felt a bit unprofitable.

Later, a good friend who had been to Tibet recommended the Tibetan planner tour guide Yuanyuan. She is a tour guide who specializes in receiving foreign guests and Chinese quality tours to Tibet. She helped us plan the travel routes, purchase the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, apply for collections, book hotels, chartered cars, tour guide services and book tickets. She made her booking the whole process. We were only responsible for the flight tickets from Malaysia to Chengdu, China. (Because the departure city is different, it is most convenient to arrive in which city you need to fly. I suggest asking Yuanyuan’s tour guide)

The quote from the tour guide Yuanyuan:Tibet's 12 days and 11 nights per person is less than 8,500 yuan per person（The fees include: customized private group routes, separate chartered buses, 24-hour pick-up stations for a dedicated person, 11 nights of 4-star hotel accommodation, tickets to all attractions, Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Tibet application form + border protection permit, meals, tour guide service），No travel shopping or forced consumption, save us a lot of money and take many detours! I am particularly grateful to Akun for making us have a great time this time. I would like to highly recommend the tour guide Yuanyuankun to everyone!

Because her service is great, I recommend adding to friends who want to travel to Tibet to consult on WeChat. Even those who plan to travel freely can chat and consult on Tibet. For example, the application policy for Tibet, weather conditions and precautions, travel guides can be consulted for free.

I posted Yuanyuan’s WeChat account below, and I was able to walk on many friends when I went out. I wouldn’t suffer any losses if I asked more questions!

This is my recommended 12-day Tibet itinerary. If you don’t have enough time, you can customize it privately and plan the supporting itinerary reasonably according to your holiday. We booked this 12-day and 11-night itinerary. It saves 40% more than a free trip. It is affordable and has a very cost-effective performance! Because Yuanyuan and her company have been in Tibet for fifteen years and have cooperated with various local scenic spots and hotels in Tibet. Only their company has the right to receive foreign guests, so they can help you get it at a very low price. This is also one of the important reasons why I recommend Yuanyuan to you, save money!

8, Because the hotel, car, and tour guide are all owned by Yuanyuan and their company, they also cooperate with major scenic spots all year round, so they have a lot of discounts than bookings for our travel agencies.

Friends who plan to visit Tibet can consult her in advance. Not only is she beautiful but she also has a kind heart.

Yuanyuan is an outstanding tour guide and Tibetan civilized tour guide in Lhasa City, with a guaranteed reputation. I remember when I added it, it was recommended by Ajie, Malaysia, and asked her to give her a free guide and the best price!

【Popular Attractions Recommended】

Must-visit attractions：Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Basuncuo, Nangabawa Peak, Ranwu Lake, Laigu Glacier, Yamdroyongcuo, Mount Everest, Namcuo, these scenic spots are worth visiting, because we have been to Aliga Rinpoche with friends for the first time, and I felt that Yuanyuan received us well, so I went to all the famous attractions this time. I personally think everyone can plan a reasonable itinerary based on their holiday time!

【Precautions】

★ Foreign guests must apply for Tibet to apply for Tibet (books) in advance, otherwise they will not be able to enter the Tibet area.

1: Application for Tibet - Instructions for Tibet by train and plane:

★All Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries need to apply for a border defense certificate when traveling to Ali and Mount Everest in Tibet. Even if you hold a special zone passport, no matter whether you have been to Tibet, you need a border defense certificate when you go to Mount Everest and Mount Everest and Ali.

★When planes and trains enter Tibet, foreign guests and Taiwanese friends all need to apply for Tibet application letter (application form) in advance. We only provided our passport to Yuanyuan and gave us 15 days to apply. For specific processing methods, please consult the tour guide Yuanyuan who handled us.

★The safety inspection specifications of Qinghai-Tibet Railway Railway are in accordance with aviation specifications. No matter suitcases or personal belongings, lighters, knives, finger clippers, sharp knives, etc., are not allowed to be carried on the car.

For aircraft luggage inspection, controlled knives/flammables are strictly prohibited from carrying them. If alcohol is not opened, one or two bottles can be checked. Liquid cosmetics are limited to a single bottle of less than 120ML. The specific quantity depends on the airline regulations. For power banks carried on the trip, the battery rated energy should not exceed 100Wh, otherwise it may be prohibited from carrying them with you.

★It is very complicated to book tickets for hotels and attractions with a passport. It is recommended not to book by yourself. Ask a tour guide to help you book more than twice the price.

★Local specialties should be consulted first before purchasing, because many Chinese specialties cannot be brought out of customs.

★The application letter for Tibet needs to be processed at least 15-30 days in advance. If you are planning to travel to Tibet, you must send the information as soon as possible.

How to choose transportation to Tibet? What month is the best time to go there and how to apply for Tibet?

Recommended transportation methods to Tibet (hereinafter referred to as Tibet):

1: Airplane

Most international flights do not directly reach Lhasa, Tibet, and they need to transfer from Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, Wuhan, Changsha and other places in China. Because it involves the application for Tibet, we contacted the tour guide Yuanyuan in advance to help handle it before we left before shopping for the air ticket. The general application period is 15-30 days (foreign guests must apply for the application before going to Lhasa). Therefore, when it comes to purchasing a plane, it is recommended that you apply for the Tibet letter before checking for the purchase. (I also asked Yuanyuan to help buy air tickets in China, because we were not convenient to buy them in Malaysia at that time)

2: Recommended trains to Tibet:

If you are going to Tibet for the first time, it is highly recommended to go to Tibet. Experience the Qinghai-Tibet Railway with the highest sea waves in the world. The most shocking thing on the way is Qinghai Lake-Tanggula Mountain-Kunlun Mountain-Golmud-Northern Tibetan Grassland. Various snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and the beautiful lake scenery will be unforgettable in my life!

The train to Tibet must be purchased in advance, otherwise it will not be taken. The train to Tibet is also the most difficult train ticket to buy in China. You need to consult a tour guide in advance to help you purchase. The family can lie down and see the scenery. A comfortable and quiet environment is a good way to travel!

Recommended train schedules: Z264-Guangzhou to Lhasa, Z165-Shanghai to Lhasa, Z21-Beijing to Lhasa, Z223-Chongqing to Lhasa, Z322-Chengdu to Lhasa, all trains will arrive in China's northwest city - Xining, and you will transfer to aerobic trains in Xining: Because Xining has officially entered the Qinghai-Tibet Railway section, the beautiful scenery of the plateau journey has officially begun!

【About how to prevent alpine disease? 】

Will there be (alpine) altitude sickness when going to Tibet?
This is the most common problem, but it is not as serious as expected. Generally, at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, the human body will have a slight reaction. For example, the heartbeat is faster, the breathing is faster, and the headache is mild. This is all very normal

---

Generally, people with higher chances of altitude sickness, including smokers, people with asthma, heart disease, and high blood pressure, are also more likely to have alpine symptoms. Another special situation is that people with strong muscles and high oxygen demand, and are more likely to develop alpine disease.
However, if you have altitude sickness, just pay attention to rest and maintain a good attitude. For example, before going to Tibet, you should not drink alcohol, it is not easy to exercise, and it is not easy to take a bath and wash your hair on the same day, it is not easy to run, and it is not easy to be too excited. We asked Akun to book an oxygen supply hotel in advance and gave us handheld oxygen. I feel that alpine disease is not that serious!

---

【Travel list about Tibet】

Must bring sun protection and moisturizing daily necessities: sunglasses, sun protection clothing, sunscreen/sun protection spray, skin cream, and lip balm.

Travel preparation medicines: alpine medicine (you can find Yuanyuan to give it), cold medicine, laryngeal medicine, trauma medicine, etc.

Electronic products: essential for mobile phone cameras, power banks, spare batteries, storage cards, roaming mobile phones, socket converters.

Clothing carrying: The weather changes greatly in the plateau area. You should prepare a down jacket when going to Mount Everest in autumn and winter. Thermal underwear, etc. For specific weather conditions, please consult the tour guide in advance.

---

Food carrying

Many guide bloggers are talking nonsense. Personal experience, you must carry high-calorie foods (chocolate, milk candy, oral glucose, etc.)

If you take the Qinghai-Tibet Railway train to Tibet, because you will spend about 40 hours on the train, you can prepare more snacks and instant noodles you like, and hot rice and light meals will also be sold on the train!

Because time is limited, my introduction may not be so detailed. If you want to know a very comprehensive travel guide and a tip for knowledge to go to Tibet, please consult our tour guide Yuanyuan

【Faith and Nation】

Because most Tibetans believe in Buddhism, they reveal the influence of Buddhism in all aspects of their lives. Tibetans are very loyal, honest, and hospitality. As long as they respect their customs and habits, it is very safe to travel in Tibet. Remember not to touch the heads of children; do not discuss their religion and politics in Tibet, and turn clockwise when turning the scriptures; take it with both hands when accepting Hada. If the other party directly puts it on your neck, please do not take it off immediately!

【Food recommendation】

Recommended tastings of Tibetan food: butter tea, tsampa, Tibetan noodles, hand-grabbed mutton, yak meat soup pot, barley wine, sweet tea, Tibetan yogurt, yak jerky, stone pot chicken (these are all the delicacies that our tour guide Ayan took us to taste)

【About check-in at the hotel】

We booked a tour package 40 days in advance, so Yuanyuan booked us a very satisfied hotel (and the price was very affordable)

Hotel accommodation: Look at the picture (Because I was afraid of Gao Fan Yuanyuan specially booked a hotel for us for a few nights, and the environment was very good)

【How to avoid pits】

When traveling in Tibet, don’t believe that you get what you pay for when traveling too cheaply. We did not have any forced shopping throughout the whole process, and we chose a private customized chartered car tour, and we were all famous attractions, so we did not waste any time. If you choose Malaysia to sign up for the tour, you will not only have to wait for the tour period, but you may spend more money and take more detours. So, finding a reliable local tour guide is really a choice to get twice the result with half the effort.

My personal experience tells you that when traveling to Tibet, you should try to find local tour guides in Tibet to plan the most affordable itinerary, so as to save Malaysian travel agencies from making the difference between the price, and directly connect with the tour guide. More importantly, if there is any problem, please let the tour guide help solve it. So here I would like to give our tour guide Yuanyuan a thumbs up. Not only will the supporting itinerary be planned for us before departure, but the service is also great after arriving in Tibet. The fees are paid only after signing a formal travel contract after arriving in Lhasa, Tibet. It is a safe and professional and great trip.

I’m here to give a small advertisement for the tour guide Yuanyuan, hoping to help more friends who love traveling.
