Just got back from Tibet, and the aftereffects are so strong I want to go again

Just got back from Tibet, feeling like my soul is still lingering in that pure blue sky. I quickly put together a must-see guide for those planning to visit Tibet, to give you a bit of a shock and let you experience the beauty of Tibet—it's so beautiful it leaves you speechless!! Every frame looks like wallpaper, and I've also included accommodation recommendations and important tips 👏 Highly recommend liking and saving this 📸 Must-visit divine scenery Yamdrok Lake: Like a flowing sapphire under the sun 💎, beauty that cameras can't capture! Namtso Lake: 4718m "Heavenly Lake" 🌊 + snowy mountain backdrop, super windy but breathtaking (wear your down jacket tight!) Potala Palace: Majestic by day, lit up at night like a miracle ✨ (book 7 days in advance! 10) Barkhor Street: Follow the crowd of prayer wheel spinners, sunbathe at a sweet tea house ☕, full of Tibetan flavor! ⚠ High altitude sickness pitfalls and hard-earned experience 1⃣ Take Rhodiola 7 days in advance! Carry glucose + ibuprofen, and ladies bring heat packs during your period! 2⃣ Don’t shower or jump around on your first day in Lhasa! It’s easy to get too excited and end up with a splitting headache at midnight 😭 3⃣ Don’t tough it out without oxygen: buy portable oxygen bottles in the city (20 yuan/bottle), rent steel oxygen tanks for Yamdrok/Namtso (200 yuan/day), life-saving is key! 4⃣ Highly recommend accommodation 👉 Shangli Sunshine Ruixi Oxygen Hotel (Barkhor Street branch)! For those just arriving in Lhasa, choose a hotel with oxygen supply to help your body quickly adapt to the plateau environment and get enough rest. This hotel not only has a great location and facilities but also excellent service! ✅ 24-hour oxygen diffusion! Free airport pickup 🚗, so you can breathe oxygen as soon as you get off the plane—super reassuring~ ✅ Tibetan light luxury style! Traditional Tibetan murals, smart room controls, lie down and watch the Potala Palace night view 🌃 ✅ Prime location! 10 minutes walk to Jokhang Temple, 8 minutes taxi to Potala Palace, surrounded by Tibetan restaurants 🚗 Transportation & Documents In Lhasa: Taxi starting fare 10 yuan, or rent an electric scooter—super convenient 5 Surrounding tours: Rent a car with Tibetan AL license! 4 people share a 7-seater, driver also acts as guide—super worry-free~ No self-driving! Mountain roads + high altitude sickness, extremely dangerous ❌ Border permit: Must for Everest/Ali! Can be arranged at your registered residence or Lhasa travel agency (agency fee 100 yuan 8) 📌 Life-saving tips Sun protection trio: SPF50+ sunscreen + sunglasses + face scarf ❗ or you’ll instantly get high-altitude redness 8 Hydration fanatic: face masks + lip balm + body lotion! Tibet is so dry it cracks your skin 😫 Respect customs: No photos or hats in temples ❌, walk clockwise around prayer wheels~ 💡 Final ramble I slept so well those days at Ruixi 😴, oxygen room + Tibetan experience (free Tibetan costume photo shoot!) totally saved my plateau soul! Body in hell? But standing in front of the sacred lake at that moment—all worries felt tiny ✨ 📍 Hotel directions: Dongjin Shangli Sunshine · Ruixi Oxygen Hotel (Lhasa Barkhor Street Jokhang Temple branch) 🔍 Address: No. 26 Jiangsu East Road, Chengguan District
