318 National Road 5,000 km Monument Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Beautiful Sichuan-Tibet line, the magical snowy plateau. Many travellers always yearn for Tibet, and many photographers come here with heavy equipment. There are photographers' paradise Xinduqiao on the Sichuan-Tibet line. There is the world's highest city, Litang, there is the Miwu Lake, and there are Linzhi, which has peach blossoms. If you can, you can go to Daocheng, Aden.
Find a group of friends and drive a car. Self-driving 318, all the way to Yangge photography, it may be a very happy thing. The blue sky, the golden meadows, the yak and the beasts on the road, the Tibetan-style buildings, are curious about these strange and magical elements.
Because the poster is high, you can see the starry sky when you look up at night. Even if it is a mobile phone, you can take good-looking photos. If you have time, you must take the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line.
Karuola Glacier Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Stunning Glacier in Tibet
On our drive through Tibet we stopped to see Karola Glacier. This glacier has a peak elevation of 5560 meters and had so much snow in early October. It is located in Shigatse in the Tibet Autonomous Region and is located close to Mount Naiqing Kangsang, which is one of the four tallest mountains in Tibet.
We passed here after spending our morning viewing the stunning Yamdrok Lake and then continued on our way towards the highlight of our trip…Everest Base Camp!
Admission price: 5 RMB (≈$0.80)

Everest Five-Day Tour | Five-Day Tour in Tibet | Travel in Tibet | Small Group in Tibet
Don't miss these stunning sights!
⭕ Essential luggage before entering Tibet 🧳✈️
Stepping on the journey to Tibet, my luggage list is appropriate! Choose a 24-inch suitcase, convenient and practical. Don't forget down jackets, knitted hats, warm gloves🧤, scarves🧣, and pants👖, warm babies are enough, if you are afraid of cold, you can bring more. Don't forget sunscreen, lipstick, face cream and other skincare products. In addition, I also prepared glucose, motion sickness medicine and Baoji pills. Everything is for a comfortable journey!💄✨
⭕ Transportation to Tibet 🚗✈️
I chose to fly directly to Lhasa, which is time-saving and convenient! If you are not a poor traveler, the plane is the first choice, and the train is too patient. Sisters who like to enjoy the scenery along the way can also try the train, but remember that the budget is limited. High anti has nothing to do with transportation, so choose according to your own budget!🌍💸
⭕ Local transportation 🚗🛵
The transportation in Lhasa city is convenient, with shared electric cars🛵, buses and taxis (starting at 10 yuan), which are convenient and fast. It's a different taste to travel freely in the small town!🏞️🚖
⭕ About high anti 🏔️💊❗
Eat Rhodiola a week in advance to prevent high anti. If you feel uncomfortable, rest in the hotel on the first day, don't resist high anti! Oxygen absorption is a good idea, my small group also gave 10L of oxygen, basically enough. But if the high anti is serious, you still have to go to the hospital for registration, safety first!🌬️🚑
⭕ About my Tibet itinerary 🗻🌄
On the first day, visit the Potala Palace, Yaowang Mountain and the reflection of the Potala Palace Square, immersed in this magical atmosphere.
On the second day, visit Nanshan Park and spend a leisurely day.
From the third day, start the group itinerary, cross Lhasa to Yang Lake, and appreciate the beauty of Karola Glacier and Manla Reservoir.
On the fourth day, visit Shigatse, Tashilhunpo Monastery, Jiacuola Pass, Gaur Pass and Everest Base Camp, and experience the wonders of the snow-capped plateau.
On the fifth day, explore Everest Base Camp, Longren Mountain, Rimana Snow Mountain, Qudengnima Glacier, Qomoyongqing Snow Mountain and Kongma Prairie, and appreciate the beauty of nature.
On the sixth day, visit Shigatse, Nyingchi, Wild Hot Springs (boiling eggs, foot baths) and Selincuo, and enjoy the gifts of nature.
On the seventh day, cross Bangor to reach Bamu Wrong, Namtso 1.2 viewing point, Nalagen Pass and Nyainqentanglha Mountain, and successfully end my Tibet trip.🌈🗺️
⭕ Tips some suggestions 🤔💡
Tibetan attractions are scattered, the transportation time is long, remember to carry motion sickness medicine💊, Rhodiola and glucose. Carry your ID with you for all safety.
For the first time, it is not recommended to drive by yourself, the terrain is complex, it is best to choose a local small group, especially with oxygen supply. Many low-cost groups will force you to buy oxygen, choose carefully.
Have a nice trip, don't forget to leave beautiful memories! Everything on the way is worth looking forward to, let go of your mood to feel it!🌟🤗

Tibet | Shigatse is more interesting than imagined!!!
Shigatse is really a surprising city.
Not only is it an important border city, but it is also an important stronghold of Tibetan Buddhism Gelug Sect, with many ancient temples, and the entire city is unexpectedly new.
BUT for drivers, there are the strictest traffic rules in Tibet here, sisters who drive by themselves must remember to abide by the speed limit, otherwise a fine of ¥1200 + 6 points is inevitable.
In fact, there are several ancient sites and temples in the surrounding counties and cities of Shigatse.
However, we stayed in Shigatse city for two nights to prepare for the border defense certificate and supplies on the weekend.
The most unexpected places we got are 1 the Tashilhunpo Monastery in the city, and 2 the Manla Reservoir, which is very photogenic and beautiful.
Karola Glacier:
The most famous glacier near Shigatse.
At an altitude of 5,000 meters, it was once the filming location of the movie Red River Valley.
The advantage is a glacier that can be reached by car, but the ice surface is actually relatively small, mainly white glaciers and bald mountains, with not many highlights.
The peak season ticket is ¥ 50, and the off-season is free. It is said that if you do not stop and just drive by, you can actually not pay the ticket.
Manla Reservoir:
I didn't expect this unremarkable reservoir to be the most beautiful place we felt from Nyingchi to Shigatse.
The real Tiffany blue, and the winter water surface is half frozen and half flowing, which is very beautiful.
You can step on the blue ice on the lake, we played by the water for most of the day, and the aerial photography can capture the layered lake surface, which is very beautiful.
There is also a prayer flag mountain nearby where you can see the panoramic view, which is also very beautiful, and the filming effect is not lost to Riyue Mountain.
Tashilhunpo Monastery:
It is very convenient in Shigatse city, and there is a parking lot next to the temple.
The temple covers an area of 300,000 square meters. In addition to the three magnificent red temples / stupas, there are many pure white lama accommodation and study areas nearby, which feels like visiting an ancient town, very comfortable.
And there are much fewer tourists than the Potala Palace, and the experience is excellent.
However, the Tashi Temple still requires a ticket of ¥ 55 in winter (peak season 100).
Although the opening hours are written as 9:30-12:30 & 15:30-18:30.
But the big temple will close around 17:30 in the afternoon.
Remember to pay attention to the time.
Mount Everest Base Camp:
The Everest Base Camp will be dismantled in winter, and there is no overnight accommodation.
You can only take a close look at Everest and the monument.
Except for the shock of seeing the snow-capped mountains at the Gawula Pass, the base camp is actually a bit boring.
Tips:
There are very strict speed limits in Shigatse city and on the way to Everest.
Violations will really be fined and deducted points.
Remember to drive in combination with navigation prompts and speed limit signs.
Pay attention to the speed camera at any time.
Shigatse can apply for a border defense certificate without a criminal record certificate, and it can be done in five minutes with an ID card, which is very convenient.
The places for the certificate are divided into
1, Shigatse Government Service Center (working day).
2, Snowy Everest Women's Certificate Room (weekend).
Friends who are going to Ali or Everest, remember to pay attention to the time of the certificate.
If you need to purchase supplies, you can buy more in Shigatse. There are large supermarkets, clothing cities, and pharmacies here, especially thick clothes and outdoor supplies can be found.
Longing for Tibet | The urge is even stronger than after a breakup
In 'Longing for Tibet', it says, 'Every time I see a scene of Tibet, I am invariably overwhelmed with emotion, even moved to tears', until I see it in person, any language in front of Tibet, all seem pale and powerless.
🤮High altitude sickness issues:
1. Rest well before departure, don't get sick. Here I don't recommend taking Rhodiola and some health products💊, those are intelligence tax.
2. Avoid strenuous exercise on the day of arrival in Tibet, drink plenty of water🍵, rest more, do not overeat or drink alcohol🍻.
🚗Travel advice:
1⃣The temperature in Tibet changes quickly, don't easily believe the weather🌧 forecast before you come, it's basically not very accurate.
2⃣Most areas of Tibet have signal, among which Telecom network is the best, Mobile is average, and Unicom is the worst.
3⃣Prepare Rhodiola, ibuprofen, motion sickness medicine and other drugs💊 before coming to Tibet, except for those with iron constitution.
4⃣Don't bring tube-shaped skincare and makeup products, try to bring bottled ones, they may swell and leak under high pressure.
❄What to prepare for a winter trip to Tibet
👉The winter temperature in Tibet is generally between -10°C~10°C, you need to bring windbreaker, down jacket and other warm clothes, scarves, hats, gloves are also must-haves, and bring warm suits.
🍲Food recommendations
🔴Meat pilaf ✔ Personally, it tastes like hot rice
🔴 Adiao is similar to Tea Yan Yue Se✔ The milk tea is sweet tea🥤
🔴 Stone pot chicken🐔 A specialty in Lulang Town
🔴 Yibi hot buns Locals love to eat it, business is booming
🔴 Tiancun sour soup yak hot pot Yak meat tastes like fresh grass and there's Tibetan folk dance💃
🔴 Cuomu cold noodles ✔ The noodles🍜 and fried potatoes🥔 inside are super love, 40 yuan for two people is super full.

✈️🚗🚄Transportation
Airplane✈️, train🚞, self-driving🚗. Flying into Tibet is convenient and fast, but it is recommended to choose Nyingchi as the first stop, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Xichang direct flight about 2h, Nyingchi altitude is relatively low and the oxygen content is higher, can provide a process of adaptation for the body; Train into Tibet can currently only go to Lhasa, Lhasa transfer train direct to Nyingchi about 3h, Nyingchi railway is under construction; If time permits, self-driving into Tibet can enjoy the scenery along the way, and the slow rise of altitude makes the body's adaptability to the plateau better.
Self-driving into Tibet
It is recommended to self-drive🚙 off-road vehicles or four-wheel drive suv, do a good job of vehicle maintenance in advance and must be prepared with anti-skid chain and replace snow tires.
A must-visit place in Shigatse - Manla Reservoir
Manla Reservoir is located in Longma Township, Jiangzi County, upstream of the Nianchu River. Similar to Yamdrok Lake, it is a clear pool embedded in the mountains. Although it is an artificial reservoir, the green lake water reflects the distant mountains, making it particularly beautiful. When traveling from Jiangzi County to Yamdrok Lake, you will pass by here. There is a small pavilion on the roadside where you can enjoy the view of the reservoir from a high place and take a rest.
[Ticket]Free, specific charges subject to on-site announcement.
[Opening Hours]Open all day.
[Note]In high-altitude areas, pay attention to your own condition.
