Since 1956, shipping since there has not been a big air accident.Gonggar airport is located 100 km southeast of Lhasa Gonggar County.

Taking into account the way early, when the airport is easier to traffic accidents, the proposed tourist shuttle bus or take the air relatively safe.Plane to Tibet's biggest advantage is fast, but relative to the land, there are several drawbacks: high cost of travel and adapt to a short time. Do not think that plane for a few days time, Mainland who first flew to Lhasa, we must quietly take a break two days before engaging in activities. Because the aircraft in a sudden rise in altitude within half an hour more than 3,000 meters, the body would find it difficult to adapt. If not pay attention to rest, will have altitude sickness, or even damage to health. General travelers to Tibet, is the health of their confidence. Difficult one to Lhasa to sit tight, eager to begin traveling. Special as altitude sickness is a "striking", generally occurs in a few hours or ten hours later. True to the splitting headache, vague aches and fatigue when must travel was no, sorry too late! No long-distance travel experiences and feelings. Although air travel can save a lot of fatigue, but a lot of scenery and travel experience also are "removed" the. So, if enough time, can be considered by land.

Along the elevation difference between the larger roads are mostly winding and built, rugged steep but scenic road, July-August rainy season Banda - Basu and Bomi - Bayi Town, and several other sections often landslides, blocking roads, the best season 5 - June and September to October. Many towns along the way, no worries about food and drink, mainly in Sichuan.

Best time from August to October. Yunnan Province accommodation with better conditions, to enter Tibet Salt and Markham have sent.Transportation: Yunnan-Tibet Highway is no direct bus, along the way need to change trains several times, but there is no bus between Deqin to Markam, only to take the truck.3, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway (State Road 109)Xining-51km-Huang source-51km-daotanghe-34km-accountant Hotel-82km-black horse-80km-Chaka-131km-Dulan-353km-Golmud-90km-Nachitai-30km-Xidatan-40km - Kunlun Pass-110km-five beam-83km-two Zhen-67km-Tuotuohe town-92km-Yanshiping-100km-Tanggula - 89km-Amdo-138km-Nagqu-164km-When the male-75km-sheep eight well-87km-Lhasa, length of 1142 km.
Qinghai-Tibet Highway is the safest and most busy of a road, is the world's first alpine permafrost in the black level of the road all paved road, known as the "roof of the world on the Suez Canal", to carry forward 80% possession of goods and materials. Across the board average elevation of 4,000 meters. Acts in the Qinghai-Tibet line, that vast winding of the Kunlun, the limitless prairie, Xin Jing will make you sway, but beyond a natural self-rising feeling, bound to accompany your journey long and long. Although the elevation is high, but the Department of the ancient lake surface plateau landform, undulating gently, for a variety of vehicles. The opening of the year. Eat along the way, very convenient fuel, restaurants, mostly Muslims are open.Transportation: Most of the Golmud to Tibet by the departure of vehicles a day, Qaidam passenger transport companies and Tibet bus companies have several classes (domestic cars, imported cars and luxury sleeper car) sent to Lhasa. Road passenger transport company in Beijing in Tibet, a sleeper car from Golmud to Lhasa is 172 yuan. Opposite the train station is also a car seat. Every day at four o'clock start, capped 170 million, lower berth 180. Private car 1 30 140 dollars, but more dangerous. Tibet transport in Golmud to Lhasa station, there are many trucks, which can take a ride with the driver Negotiable price. Can also go to West Group in front of the intersection of agricultural and other goods, especially in the morning and evening and more, but best not to choose the single one, because long-distance truck is easy to go wrong. One of the few cars there take care. Drivers are mostly Muslims, do pay attention to respect for national customs. The disadvantage is a long time, about 60 hours, no insurance. Lanzhou to Lhasa has now opened a tourist car (domestic luxury sleeper car). Lanzhou to Lhasa takes approximately 50 hours and stopping at various attractions for tour passengers take pictures. Tel :0931 -8417118-242. If you're lucky, in Golmud to encounter a new car or SUV into Tibet. Soliciting on the passenger's door, you can only charge the cost of tickets, all the way to save half the time.4, Tibet line (219 State Road)Yecheng - (698) - Alexander sector Osaka - (136) - Sodom - (266) - Shiquanhe - (112) - Ge'gyai - (385) - change the - (81) - wrong hole - (184) - measures Le - (242) - Laga - (241) - Lazi - (151) - Shigatse - (91) - Gyantse - (254) - Lhasa. Total length of 2841 km. From the east by Ge'gyai Shiquanhe - change the - wrong hole - Nima to Amdo, the line across the Chang Tang plateau from Lhasa to Ali, known as the Northern Line. Kaplan and Lazi between Nepal border along a built Rapp Road, known as the South line, this line shorter duration, but in summer the water is large and more sand, can be forced through the winter and summer road is very dangerous.Xinjiang-Tibet Highway in front elevation difference between the larger, rear section is relatively flat. Most roads into Tibet, Ngari no roads in the area, no gas stations, so the local drivers to be more prepared drums of gasoline, and transportation and communication is very inconvenient. The time required for the road more than at least two weeks. Landscapes of course very exciting, across the no man's land, the rare times a day to see a pedestrian, but it is a good chance this place will see if the Tibetan wild ass, Mongolian gazelle and other wild animals in groups, the scene is very spectacular. Along the way can also enjoy the changing weather, the Karakoram, the prevailing atmosphere of Guge Kingdom ruins, mountain - Gangrenboqi, holy lakes - Manasarovar Lake, the birthplace of the Yellow Sect - Sakya Monastery, as well as soft different styles of Palkor. Xinjiang-Tibet Highway winter and spring snow mountain, impassable, the best travel season is early May each year to 10 months late. Along the bad weather and poor conditions of accommodation.Transportation: There is no direct passenger car, need to take the sub. Yecheng a Shiquanhe, about three days by car, bus from time to time. Ride inShiquanhe Yecheng or find a car transport truck ride station can also take military vehicles. Shiquanhe a Champlain, about two crane-way. To turn Ruzha Da tour, you need to travel 280 km, the journey takes about 1 day, then by the Rada to Kaplan (443 kilometers) along the way can take a truck or military vehicle. Kaplan is a border town, passing traffic more. Shiquanhe-Lhasa, about 6 crane way, no passenger traffic, vehicular traffic is very small, it takes a lot of time to come ride.
5, China-Nepal Highway (Lhasa - Shigatse - camphor Friendship Bridge - Kathmandu)337KM-Lhasa, Shigatse 157 - Lazi 135 - Tingri 152 - Nyalam 30 - camphor Friendship Bridge - Kathmandu, length of 900 kilometers.One Lhasa - Shigatse is basically asphalt road, Shigatse - Lazi - Tingri is basically dirt road, near some of the Lazi only intermittent asphalt, after a Tingri is basically a dirt road. Nyalam to the Friendship Bridge section of camphor wood is extremely bad in the rainy season. The road from Lhasa to Nepal. Domestic tourists in general is from Lhasa to camphor. Summer is rainy, a rainy season, roads are often rotten mess. Spring Day is a good view. Winter is very good from here to Nepal, all the way down, the less clothing the more off, down coat from Lhasa to Kathmandu on a short-sleeved shorts only.
Hire off-road vehiclesAccording to the characteristics of tourism resources in Tibet, Tibet tourism tourists in general have adopted the most convenient, time saving, chartered the safest way to travel. Under normal circumstances, Tibet chartered reference price (seasonal fluctuations):Normal imports of off-road vehicles :3.00-3.50 yuan / km;Luxury Import SUV :3.50-4.50 yuan / km;For 20-passenger mini-bus :5.50-6.50 yuan / km;For 40 people riding the bus :7.00-8 .00 a large yuan / km.As the terrible road conditions in Tibet, it is clear that a lot of places you want to go off-road vehicles can only reach. Of course, off-road vehicles are rented with driver, car hire is also included in the gasoline and maintenance, but also responsible for the driver's accommodation costs.Introduction: Although many off-road vehicles with good durability, but in Tibet, only one car can dominate locally. Land Cruiser is the most common travel in Tibet is one of the most practical vehicles. Generally known as the Land Cruiser, the locals tend to direct called "Toyota."Style: Land Cruiser has many models, from the earliest type of 60, 62 until 75,80, and later more luxurious 4500. Travel in Tibet is now in the run up to 62 or 60 and Toyota, both truck and then the new 4500, although not as comfortable, it is a steel suspension system, so it is more suitable for someone like Ali, Qamdo, Nagqu so bad route. 60, 62 Toyota in Tibet, their prices are generally within the local Bin is 3.0-3.5 yuan / km up and down.In general, travel agencies have their own car, but travel directly to trucking company (or team: for example, two Tibetan Hotel) price can be negotiable on the larger point. 75 Toyota Land Cruiser is a very good, especially the addition of dual-fuel tank, more suited to run Eli Nan line, twin lakes of northern Tibet is not so easily added to the oil line. However, the number of Tibet 75 Toyota very little harder to find. Some tourists said they rented off-road vehicle drivers drinking and driving behavior, especially during the festive season. Taking into account the poor road conditions in Tibet, this would be worse. I suggest you make this in the car rental contract constraints.If tourists pay attention to their driving, pay attention to your car an oil tank can run far, because in all the end-result is less likely to have between refueling points. Most small town to repair the car are there, the standard uncertainty, oil in some places you can buy at the gas station, gas station when necessary but not from the hands of the local oil traders to buy high-priced oil, and there are similar problems can be to the local small shop or restaurant owner to sell, where to find out.
Tibet TransportationCoachNow Tibet, in addition to Ali and Qamdo, other areas are typically the bus pass to County. Of course, the bus is not there every day, usually very little time that conditions are relatively poor, prepare yourself mentally. From Lhasa to Bayi town of Lazi and Nyingchi, with long-distance passenger bus transportation more convenient. But in other places (such as to Namco lakes, Tingri to see Mount Everest, or even travel Ali), the only car rental.Time to make arrangements for the frequency region: Lhasa - Bayi, 8:30 start, 153 yuan; Lhasa - Nagqu, 8:30 start, 44 yuan (hard seat), 80 (sleeper); Lhasa - Shigatse 9: 00 grid, 38 yuan: Lhasa - Shannan 9:00 start, 27 million; Lhasa - Shannan, 10:00 start, 20; Lhasa - Shannan 11:00 start $ 20; Lhasa Qamdo: 10:30 departure, 230 (monthly 5,15,25 days); Lhasa - Yadong, 9:00 start, 88 yuan (Mondays); Lhasa - camphor, 11:00 start, 113 yuan (month, 11, 21 days).CharteredAccording to the characteristics of tourism resources in Tibet, Tibet tourism tourists in general have adopted the most convenient, time saving, chartered the safest way to travel. In Lhasa tourism transport companies, to undertake business travel most of the team's car is not equipped with ready-made rental contracts. Ali's trip to and from about 4,000 km trip of 15 days, up to the jeeps and trucks (gasoline and supplies pull) formed the team. Have to be at least two cars, each car rental of about 17,000 yuan. Including petrol, the team's master when the driver has any of the wizard. Tourist accommodation with the master driver, the expense of the tourists out. For security reasons, do not send bike. Ali owned vehicles into the travelers to pay attention, the Lhasa last refueling point in Lazi. Ali in the territories, from about 1600 km Lazi to Shiquanhe no gas station! If no spare barrels, you need along the way to the Tibetan people, hotels, and all long distance freight drivers may find a place of gasoline for help to buy expensive gasoline, at least more than twice as expensive, and oil is not guaranteed.Tibet chartered reference price seasonal fluctuations: common type imported off-road vehicles, 3-3.5 yuan / km; imported luxury SUV, 3.5-4.5 yuan / km; for 20-passenger mini-bus, 5 .5-6.5 Yuan / km; for 40-passenger bus, 7-8 large yuan / km. In addition, visits to remote areas, or no man's land, adventure, travel must be equipped with back-living vehicles (such as trucks). On the one hand for food, tents, fuel and other goods and materials. In addition, when the real spin the vehicle in distress relief.Self-drivingMotorists who travel from Tibet, followed a familiar route, strange road, but also have to travel by car, but also in a hurry, by the route of the traffic situation is not familiar with the road do not understand, especially the mountain roads is danger. Therefore, we must pay attention to traffic safety, not to fatigue driving. In the road, be sure to repair, maintenance and careful inspection of the vehicle, and add a little oil, gasoline, water, good check "brake lights horn", with good tools and the necessary vehicle spare tire well.Single long-distance bicycle travel in Tibet without back-faced self-help capacity is relatively low risk, we recommend people to come along. At the same time to rent a car, accompanied by supply, cost sharing is not expensive down, tired, you can also go by car, there is a sudden Ye Hao processing, you can also put your luggage on the car. Rent to buy a bike, has a direct buy in Lhasa, but also from the mainland to the Lhasa. There are also shipped from Nepal to Lhasa. In Lhasa, the rent is generally 28 Flying Pigeon bicycle car, the price of 2 yuan / hour or $ 20 / day eight Lang science and other hotels have, some hotels have mountain bike rental, usually $ 60 / day. Weekend morning in Lhasa Municipal Stadium (near Tibet University) has a market, where many travelers to sell his car. Also near the Potala Palace in Beijing on the road can also buy homemade mountain bike, about $ 500, must be carefully selected.RideTravel by car to save money but time-consuming. Tibet from Lhasa to other parts of the center of the base has a long-distance bus. But then another place would have needed a ride. Ali, only to ride back and forth to 1,500 yuan, while chartered to nearly 4,000 yuan. Short ride line price is 10-20 yuan / 100 km / person. In the depot, the driver frequented hotels, restaurants, bridges, ferries and so easier to take to the car, but the key is to look at whether there is space on board as well as your personal charm. In Tibet, the biggest obstacle is the language of free-rider problem, it is best to learn some simple Tibetan language. At least know how to say the place to go. And drivers and the locals live and eat together for many travelers is also a huge test.BicycleBicycle travel in Tibet is different from other parts of China, climate variability, a great temperature difference between day and night, the road is often steep slope. In addition to carefully selected car ride in Tibet, but also carefully plan and control the trip, learning repair techniques to enhance physical fitness and so on.ShippingTibet's rivers and waterways developed, only the Brahmaputra River gully Lazi to Shigatse, Qushui to Zetang and Nyang Qu. Lhasa River, a section of a leather boat traffic; Millington, steamship voyage to the school district. While in Tibet, some of the ferry or motor boats and the resort has a large wooden boat, but the majority of farmers and herdsmen still use home-made leather ships engaged in transport. In the Nyang Qu, Nepal river sediment, Shiquanhe and Brahmaputra, the Lancang River, Nu River. Can see the leather boat. Standing on the bridge Nianchu Shigatse, you can see a shipment of leather is only manned ship cruising in the river, called the plateau spectacle.FerryAnd go to the Samye Monastery in Ali, Nyingchi crossing the road there are some people or vehicles crossing charges are not expensive. In the Samye ferry, Asaka's recommendation and go with the boat people. Another. Ferry is generally time-limited, generally only the morning at Caixing.Leased cattleTibet on foot in some places do, you need to rent in the local yak or rent a horse. In general, in northern Tibet, the cost of rent horses Qamdo more off the mark. In Nyingchi would be much better. From Ganden to Samye Monastery there is a good foot line is sure to rent yaks. Of course, the rent of these primitive means of transport when you know there must be a local language translation.When riding the four animals tragedy: fear when riding uphill encounter poor road conditions, under the rain and snow, wind. Poor road conditions cause your internal organs roll, nausea vomiting, depressed people long uphill, riding a fixed time to rely on their hands to push. When a large rain and snow, wet underwear sticky taste in the body is really having a hard time to the destination the first thing is to find the fire. Wind big time downhill had to bother to tread.
