When is the best season to travel to Lhasa?

1, the best time to travel in Lhasa is summer and autumn. At this time, the climate is warm and humid, not as dry and windy as in winter and spring. Lhasa is known as the "Sunshine City", with long sunshine hours, mild climate, no heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. The highest temperature in the whole year is June in summer, and the lowest temperature is June+10 in winter. There is little rainfall in Lhasa, but it is obvious in both dry and wet seasons. Rainfall is mainly concentrated in July, August and September, mostly at night.

2. When you go to Lhasa in summer and autumn, you can visit the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, drepung monastery and other Tibetan palaces and temples during the day and feel the mysterious religious atmosphere. In the evening, you can soak in Tibetan bars and experience the unique Tibetan customs. Although this season is the rainy season, it usually rains late at night, and it will clear up after waking up in the morning, which will not affect the trip. If it coincides with the Lhasa Snow Festival in July 1 day of Tibetan calendar (August of Gregorian calendar), you can not only enjoy Tibetan opera performances, but also have the opportunity to visit the Buddha-drying site in drepung monastery to see its splendid and spectacular scene.

Going to Lhasa in winter and spring can not only enjoy the discount of off-season tickets, but also be the best time to experience plateau hot springs (winter) and try to climb snow-capped mountains (spring). Soaking in hot springs in winter can not only overlook the snow-capped mountains, but also have the opportunity to witness the beautiful scenery of flying snow and feel the indescribable romance and comfort; Spring is the time when the windy season and rainy season alternate in Lhasa, which is most suitable for mountain climbing. In addition, there are many peaks for beginners to explore, so it would be a pity not to try. ?
