What customs should we pay attention to when traveling to Tibet?

Tibet, an ethnic minority in China, has many customs and habits. Before going to Tibet, we must get to know them, otherwise it will be embarrassing. Besides, if Tibetans believe in Buddhism, they should also pay attention to the taboos in their religious beliefs. If you see a Tibetan sticking out his tongue at you, it's definitely not ridicule or contempt. It is a way for Tibetans to show respect, and it will hurt him if misunderstood.

A custom we are familiar with is offering Hada, which is a common etiquette of Tibetans. It means welcoming foreigners to their hometown or being glad to meet you. This is a very simple and sincere etiquette. When you go to Tibet, if someone gives you Hada, you must bow your head with a smile and let the other person help you. There is also the etiquette of toasting guests. There is a very formal drinking ceremony in the local area, that is, "three drinks and one cup", that is, the host will fill the cup before the guest finishes drinking, and the guest will knock on the cup three times and then drink it all at once. When drinking butter tea, you must wait until the host puts his hands in front of you before you can take it, so that you can respect each other. Don't be diligent to get it yourself.

Tibetans stick out their tongues just to show respect for you, without any ridicule. People who grew up on the grassland are very simple and kind, and treat foreigners with great enthusiasm and respect. When we talk to Tibetans, we try to add a word at the end of the sentence, which is more friendly and easy to get along with. Tibetans generally don't want to kill. Although they eat beef and mutton, they don't kill anything. Tibetans don't worry about eating dog meat, horse meat, donkey meat and chicken. In some places they don't eat fish, so don't be too embarrassed. Try not to let Tibetans see you when you want to eat there.

Most Tibetans believe in Buddhism. Temples in Tibet are generally not allowed to enter and leave at will, especially noble and remote temples. Tibetans believe in reincarnation, so when communicating with Tibetans, you should pay attention to what you say and respect their religious beliefs, so that you can have a good time!
