This route is the famous Qinghai-Tibet Line, along the Qinghai-Tibet Line of National Highway 109, passing through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Kunlun Mountain Pass, Tanggula Mountain Pass and Naqu, and finally reaching Lhasa. Because it's a long way. I hope everyone will put safety first and not pursue speed. The journey takes about three days. The Qinghai-Tibet line drives by car. The main safety problems may be frozen roads and trucks, as well as tourists traveling. I suggest you pass through the high altitude area as soon as possible to remind you of driving safety again. When driving, you should prepare some commonly used drugs such as hyperreflexia and gastrointestinal drugs. You also need to prepare enough oxygen, food, sunscreen products and warm clothes.
There is a very precious intangible cultural heritage here. There are Tibetan paper, Tibetan incense, murals, Tibetan calligraphy, Gesar epic, etc. There are also local products, such as Linzhi honey, Linzhi apple, Tibetan medicine toothpaste, Yadong auricularia auricula and so on.
On the first day, you can go from Golmud to Tanggula Mountain City. Pack your bags and start from Golmud. The driving time is about eight hours. You will pass the Kunlun Mountain Pass. Kunlun Mountain Pass is located in the southwest of Qinghai. 0/60km from Golmud City/Kloc-. Kunlun Mountain is the symbol of the Chinese nation and the cradle of China myths and legends. There are many supplies along the way, so you don't have to worry too much about refueling during the trip. The recommended specialties are cheese, dried yak meat and butter tea.
The next day, the journey time from Tanggula Mountain City to Naqu is about ten hours. Be careful not to drive tired. It is recommended to take turns driving with fellow travelers. On the Qinghai-Tibet line, you can see towering snow-capped mountains and endless grasslands along the way, enjoying the unique scenery. There is Tanggula Pass, and Tibetan is a mountain on the plateau. It's windy and snowy all year round, so it's called a snow barn. Tanggula is the dividing line between Qinghai and Tibet, the only place where the Qinghai-Tibet Highway enters Tibet, and the birthplace of the Yangtze River.
On the third day, there may be some fatigue or altitude sickness during the two-day trip from Naqu to Lhasa. Remember to rest in time. It is about seven hours' drive from Naqu to Lhasa. The most recommended scenic spot here is Potala Palace, which is an outstanding representative of Tibetan architecture, a palace fortress-style building complex and the quintessence of ancient architecture in China. It is an outstanding architectural representative of thousands of Tibetan Buddhist temples and palaces, a unique model in China and even the world, and one of the first national key cultural relics protection units in the State Council. 1994 was listed as a world cultural heritage. The recommended food is roast lamb chops.
When you come to Tibet, remember to take off your hat and bow when you meet elders or respected people. If you have a hat in your hand, put it close to the ground and bend it 45 degrees. For ordinary people or peers, be polite, wear a hat on your chest and keep your head down. Bow your head and nod to the venerable one, and so does the gesture of returning the gift. There are many Tibetan ceremonies. The etiquette here is also closely related to Buddhism.
Offering Hada is a ritual for Tibetans. Whether it's weddings, funerals and celebrations, visiting elders, paying homage to Buddha statues, long-distance farewell, etc. Offering Hada is a habit. When welcoming guests in Tibet, you should not only touch the wine three times, but also catch some highland barley and throw it into the air three times. At the banquet, the host drinks the glass first, and then drinks it all at once, so that everyone can drink freely. Remember, when drinking tea, guests have to wait for the host to bring the tea to them before reaching for it. Otherwise it will be considered impolite. Long kowtowing is a special and pious worship ceremony for Tibetan Buddhist believers to realize their beliefs.
