Tibet borders Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other provinces in the east and north, India, Sikkim, Bhutan, Myanmar and other countries in the south, and Kashmir in the west, covering an area of 6.5438+0.2 million square kilometers.

The climatic conditions in Tibet are quite special, the most obvious being the large temperature difference between day and night, strong solar radiation and dryness. Tibet has a high terrain and a cold climate, but it is not very cold in winter because of the long sunshine time. Spring (March-May): The climate is cold, dry and windy, so you can wear coats and sweaters. Summer (June-August): The climate is cool and the noon is hot. You can wear a wide shirt, trousers or skirt. Autumn (September-165438+1October): The climate is cold and dry, so you can wear thick coats and sweaters. Winter (65438+February-February): The climate is cold and extremely dry. You can wear coats, down jackets, sweaters, gloves, scarves, sunglasses, sunscreen, lipstick and other necessary sunscreen equipment.

The average altitude of Tibet is 4000 meters, and the oxygen content is 70% of that of the plain. Therefore, most tourists will experience altitude sickness to varying degrees after visiting Tibet, with symptoms such as headache, insomnia, palpitation, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting. Therefore, patients with severe heart, lung and hypertension are not allowed to venture to the plateau. General tourists should pay attention to ensuring enough rest time before entering Tibet to prevent colds. Don't bring a cold to Tibet. People who arrive in Tibet should not take a bath for a day and pay attention to physical rest. Please bring some medicines for altitude sickness, such as aspirin, diazepam, compound dangshen tablets, diuretic sulfanilamide, anti-cold medicine, vitamins C, E, B 1, B6, etc. After arriving in Tibet, you can buy some health care products against altitude sickness, such as Gao Yuan 'an and Hong Jingtian Oral Liquid, or you can take proper oxygen in the hotel oxygen bar (it will only temporarily relieve altitude sickness). In fact, the best medicine for altitude sickness is the guests themselves. As long as they adjust their mentality and emotions, ensure enough rest and sleep, drink more water and eat more fruits the day before and the day before they enter Tibet, altitude sickness will soon disappear.

Tibetans are a Buddhist nation, deeply influenced by religion, and there are many taboos in their lives. Therefore, tourists must pay attention to respecting the customs and taboos of the Tibetan people when traveling in Tibet, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

A: The biggest taboo of Tibetans is killing, and the Buddhist who is ordained is even more strict in this respect. Although they eat beef and mutton, they don't kill themselves. Encounter monasteries, manidui, stupas, etc. You must dismount and go around from left to right, while people who believe in Bonism go around from right. When entering the temple, smoking, touching Buddha statues, turning over scriptures and knocking on bells and drums are prohibited. It is forbidden to touch religious objects such as amulets and rosaries worn by lamas. Be quiet in the temple, sit upright, and never sit on the seat of a living Buddha. Don't touch scriptures, Buddha statues, murals, utensils, etc. Hold your temples with your hands, and you can't cross them from above; Don't spit, smoke and talk loudly. You can't take pictures without the permission of the management. Please take off your hat when you enter the temple. When visiting temples, women should not wear revealing clothes (such as short skirts/shorts). Don't make noise near the temple, hunt and kill casually.

B: Never pick up anything with one hand. When the host pours tea, the guest must pour the tea bowl forward with both hands to show respect.

C: Don't urinate where cows, horses and pens are tied.

D: Don't touch Tibetan hair and hats.

E: Don't use hidden paper as toilet paper or wipe things.

F: After entering the Tibetan counting room, the men sit on the left and the women sit on the right. They are not allowed to sit together.

G: Don't throw the bones into the fire.

H: When a Tibetan family has a patient or a woman giving birth, the door is marked. Some people make a fire outside the door, and some people stick branches or red cloth at the door. Please don't go in when outsiders see this sign.

Me: Tibetans generally don't eat fish, shrimp, chicken and eggs. Don't force them to eat them. But now this eating habit has changed a lot.

Everyone has a bad day and a good day. When you are in a bad mood, you can do nothing but recite scriptures at home or go out to worship Buddha. People believe that every earthly branch of the Tibetan calendar ends, and the second earthly branch begins with a bad year. For example, everyone's 13, 25, 37 years old (and so on) are all bad years or "year-end", so be especially careful. Read more scriptures, Dobusch, to avoid disaster.

K: It is forbidden to watch the celestial burial platform, take photos and hunt vultures.

Special instructions:

1. In Tibetan areas, you will occasionally see cattle and sheep hanging with red, yellow and green cloth labels wandering in the countryside. Don't drive or hurt them at will. That's a sacrifice to the gods by Tibetans. Don't aim a shotgun at vultures, Tibetans are afraid of hurting their sacred birds.

2. Do not enter the temple without permission, and do not smoke after entering the temple. It's no problem to see the things in the temple. Don't touch Buddha statues, scriptures or take photos without authorization. Some places are not allowed to travel counterclockwise, and some secret places are forbidden to women.

3. When stepping into Tibetan tents and bedrooms, don't step on the threshold with your feet, and don't spit in front of others.

4. Tibetans stick out their tongues to show respect, not ridicule; Folding is a kind of etiquette.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) about smoking:

A, Lhasa sells all kinds of cigarettes, and the authentic rate is similar to that in the mainland. There is a wholesale cigarette market in the free market in the east. It is cheaper to buy strips. It is two yuan more expensive than the mainland.

B, sports car drivers all over Tibet generally smoke clouds or flue-cured tobacco, but Tibetan drivers are not used to foreign cigarettes, and mainland drivers like to smoke. When hitchhiking, offer cigarettes, such as "Red River", "Red Plum" and "Stone Forest".

C. Tibetan lamas don't smoke, and neither do temple areas.

D, women and even girls in pastoral areas often smoke, and it is polite to ask for cigarettes, drink tea and worship cigarettes.

E, there is little oxygen at high altitude, so it is best to smoke less and breathe more air.

6. Be careful not to catch a cold before entering Tibet. If you catch a cold, you'd better postpone entry, because catching a cold on the plateau is not easy to recover, and it will also cause complications such as pulmonary edema. Therefore, it is very necessary to prepare some cold medicine and gastrointestinal medicine.

The climate in Tibet is characterized by dryness, lack of oxygen and low pressure. Therefore, carrying some nasal ointment and throat tablets with you before entering Tibet can relieve the discomfort of nose and throat caused by dryness.

8. Due to the strong ultraviolet radiation in the plateau area, it is estimated that the annual average radiation value is between 6,000 and 8,000 MJ per square meter, so it is appropriate to bring a sun hat, sunglasses and sunscreen oil.

About celestial burial: The Tibetan government and tourism agencies do not encourage tourists to watch celestial burial, and Tibetans, especially the families of the deceased, do not want Han people to watch it. This is a national habit and human nature. Please respect your words and deeds if you have the opportunity to meet.

Don't buy any wild animal fur, horns of wild Tibetan antelope, skulls of wild yaks, etc. In Tibet. This is tantamount to supporting the increasingly rampant poaching of wild animals in Tibet. In fact, if you are found carrying these items when you leave Tibet, you are likely to face great trouble yourself.

1 1. Don't pay the locals you shoot, and don't force them to shoot what they don't want you to shoot. You can send them some food or medicine to increase their trust in you. Don't try to help foreigners enter Tibet without legal procedures. Every tourist should know that there are regulations in the country that foreigners traveling in Tibet must obtain the approval of the tourism or foreign affairs departments and apply for travel documents. At the same time, you must be accompanied by a tourist vehicle and a tour guide and travel within the scope permitted by the certificate.
