A trip to the sacred lakes of Tibet, don't miss the mysterious Mani stones.

I've lived in Tibet for 5 years 🙏 Here are my travel tips for Tibet... Take my advice! Make sure to do your research before traveling to Tibet! Otherwise, you might not have a good time 😭 If it's your first time in Tibet and you don't know what to do, check out this guide, which includes tips on what to avoid. 🎒 Packing 1⃣ A 24-inch suitcase and a lightweight backpack are perfect (if you're flying, remember to check the airline's baggage policy) 2⃣ Don't forget your ID card, student ID (a must-have for discounts), tour guide license, and border pass 3⃣ Bring squalene, glucose oral solution, regular medicine, motion sickness patches, and aspirin in case of emergencies 4⃣ Clothing: long skirts, long pants, T-shirts, down jackets, long socks, hats, comfortable shoes, 3-in-1 jackets, sun hats, warm wool hats 5⃣ Skincare: toner, lip balm, face cream (a must-have for dry skin), sunglasses, sunscreen, erythromycin ointment 6⃣ Electronics: charger, power bank, headphones, don't forget any of them 🚫 Tips on what to avoid ❌ In Lhasa, taxis are cheaper than Didi, and shared electric cars are a great way to get around the city ❌ The roads in Tibet are complicated, so new drivers should avoid driving themselves to avoid getting lost or breaking down ❌ Barkhor Street is full of handicrafts, but the prices are inflated, so don't touch the samples ❌ At the sacred lakes, don't take the Mani stones, and don't offend the sacred cattle, sheep, and dogs ❌ In front of the Potala Palace, there are many cheap photography traps, so be careful of extra charges after taking photos ❌ At Yamdrok Lake and Namtso Lake, taking photos with Tibetan antelopes and yaks is more expensive, so make sure to ask about the price 🗺️ Three-day tour 📍D1: Lhasa—Yamdrok Lake—Karola Glacier—Shigatse 📍D2: Shigatse—Border pass application—318 Monument—Gyatso La Pass—Mount Everest 📍D3: Mount Everest—Gawu La Pass—Dingri—Shigatse—Train back to Lhasa 🍽️ Food 🔅 Butter tea: A traditional Tibetan drink, rich and refreshing 🔅 Tsampa: Made from barley, a staple food of the Tibetan people 🔅 Tibetan pork: Delicious and fatty but not greasy 🔅 Matsutake: A rare mushroom with high medicinal value (Note: The entire article is within the original word count, and the season has not been rewritten, as the original text does not specify a specific season.)
