2025 Gyantse Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Today, let’s take a journey to discover Tibet! Traveling there is no longer as difficult as it used to be. You can fly directly to Lhasa Gonggar Airport (LXA) or take the scenic train ride on the Roof of the World Railway. Embrace the Himalayas Adventure in the land of the Roof of the World A land filled with faith, culture, lifestyle, and spiritual essence. A land perched high above the clouds, earning its nickname as "The Roof of the World." Tibet, the Roof of the World A city embraced by the majestic Himalayas A destination many dream of visiting at least once in their lifetime. A trip to Tibet is one of the most joyful and memorable experiences. Being amidst this enchanting land, known as "The Roof of the World," is truly captivating. From its unique natural beauty to its architecture, people, and culture, everything reflects a profound spirituality and unwavering faith. The Potala Palace, perched on the Red Hill, is absolutely stunning! Covering over 360,000 square meters with more than 1,000 rooms, this palace was once the residence of Tibet’s spiritual and worldly leader, the Dalai Lama. Imagine the level of faith required for a spiritual leader to also govern the land! Temples and monasteries are abundant throughout the country, with monks (Lamas) and nuns residing in them. You can often witness devotees performing the "Ashtanga Pradakshina," a gesture of utmost reverence where the body touches the ground in eight points (almost lying flat). Some even perform this gesture with every step they take. The Himalayas, snow-capped year-round, are truly magnificent. Towering high above the clouds, they offer breathtaking views, especially when standing face-to-face with Mount Everest. At night, Everest glimmers under the starlit sky, and at dawn, it radiates with the morning sun—a sight that leaves you in awe. Sacred lakes are vast and stunning, with turquoise waters that are simply mesmerizing. Iconic Tibetan animals like yaks and Tibetan mastiffs are adorable and endearing. The Roof of the World Railway offers scenic views of snowy mountains, glaciers, and lakes, beautifully narrating the story of Tibet. The beds are comfortable, though sometimes the journey can feel a bit uneventful due to the lack of activities. Most of the food is Chinese cuisine, known for its meticulous preparation and delicious flavors. Many dishes feature yak meat, which might make you feel a bit sorry for the animal, considering it provides milk, labor, wool for carpets and clothing, and is also consumed as food. Traveling to Tibet is not as challenging as you might think. Roads leading to rural areas are now much improved, so you don’t necessarily need to trek to explore Tibet. And that’s the essence of Tibet: "The embrace of the Himalayas, the breath of the mountains, the land of faith on the Roof of the World." One important note: the biggest challenge is altitude sickness (Acute Mountain Sickness, AMS), caused by the thin oxygen levels at high altitudes. #TravelTibet #Karola

#Chinese Architecture The Baiju Monastery in Rikeze City, Tibet, consists of a monastery, auspicious multi-door tower, a zacang and a wall. It is a Ming Dynasty building. In plateau areas, it is recommended that you walk slowly and adapt gradually, especially when doing Jixiang Duomen Pei, as it is easy to get dizzy from turning around. There are a total of 108 doors on the entire tower. Pay attention to the wisdom eyes of Lord Shiva on the lintel of the Buddha Hall inside the tower, and the Tsokchen Hall is right next to it. #trip #relax #china #mainlandchinaattractions #tibet #chinatravel #tibettravel

Tibet, this mysterious and magnificent land, boasts enchanting scenery. Careful planning before embarking on the journey is crucial to avoid wasting precious time. Budget and Preparation It is recommended to reasonably arrange your budget according to your situation. Do not be too frugal, as traveling in Tibet can be relatively expensive. If you choose to fly, immediately go to a clinic or hospital for oxygen and medication if you experience altitude sickness. Do not hope to recover by just sleeping; early treatment ensures a pleasant subsequent journey. Ways to Enter Tibet If you have ample time, a train sleeper is a good choice. Avoid hard seats to ensure good rest and reduce the risk of altitude sickness. After arriving in Lhasa, rest at the hotel first. Avoid excessive exercise, walking, washing your hair, bathing, and drinking alcohol to prevent altitude sickness. Food Experience Tibet's sweet tea is sweet and delicious, while butter tea has a salty flavor. Some friends may not be accustomed to the taste of butter tea, so try it cautiously.

Precautions When taking photos with Tibetan mastiffs, lambs, and yaks by Yamdrok Lake, remember to negotiate the price with the herders in advance. Be sure to take sun protection measures when traveling, as the ultraviolet rays in Tibet are very strong. May you have an unforgettable and wonderful journey 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) #travellater #travel #tibet #explore #summervacation #summertrip #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #bucketlist

The finale of my Tibet trip during the new year holiday in the year 2022 was with visits to Rabse Nunnery in Gyantse, Karola Glacier, and beautiful Yumdroke Lake. As much as I enjoyed this beautiful nature, felt awfully sorry for the generations to come as there might be a little chance for them to enjoy what I enjoyed today with melting glaciers due to climate change. Being reminded again of the importance of #sustainabletravel. #tibet #2022 #nature #climatechange #sustainability #responsibletourism

📍Attraction address: Tibet 🚗Attraction Transportation: 🚙Self-driving: It is not recommended for friends who come to Tibet for the first time and have no experience driving on the plateau💦. The attractions in Tibet are far apart. Self-driving is not only easy to get lost, but altitude sickness for the driver is really terrible😖. The roads in Tibet have unexpectedly large curves, and some sections are very rugged. It is easy to get into trouble if you are not familiar with the road conditions. 👍️Must-see attractions: 📍D1: Lhasa → Lalin Mountain → Flower Sea Horseback Riding and Archery → Sejila Mountain to see Nanga Parbat 📍D2: Yarlung Zangbo River → Gongdelin Grassland → Dagu Canyon → Monkey Watching Platform → Shannan 📍D3: Shannan Museum → Gangbala Mountain → Yamdrok Lake → Karola Glacier → Gyantse Plain → Shigatse 📍D4: Gangbala Mountain → Qilin Canyon → Dingjie Wetland → East Slope of Mount Everest → Mount Everest Base Camp 📍D5: Mount Everest Base Camp → Gawula Mountain Pass → Shigatse → Damxung 📍D6: Northern Tibet Grassland → Nagela Mountain → Namtso Lake → Lhasa 💗Other tips: 1️⃣Wear comfortable shoes. Many attractions in Tibet require hiking, and uncomfortable shoes can easily tire your feet. 2️⃣Bring a windbreaker to protect against the wind. The wind here can be strong. It is best to bring a furry hat. 3️⃣It is recommended to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, moisturizing face cream, body lotion, etc., because it is really dry here. 4️⃣Bring as little makeup as possible. As the altitude increases, many cosmetics will become inflated, so be careful when opening them. ✅Things to note to relieve altitude sickness 1. Don't use oxygen as soon as you have a headache😘. It is easy to become dependent on oxygen tanks, and you will not be able to leave the oxygen tank for the entire trip. 2. It is recommended to stop aerobic exercise one month before entering Tibet😉, because the body's dependence on oxygen cannot be changed in the short term. 3. Don't jump around as soon as you land. If you don't have altitude sickness temporarily, you will regret it later😱. 4. Relax, take your time, and don't keep talking about altitude sickness. ✅Tibetan Specialties 1. Nimu Tibetan Incense: Tibetan incense produced in Nimu County, Tibet Autonomous Region 2. Tibetan silver: The name of an alloy, which is actually cupronickel 3. Yak jerky: Yak is one of the characteristics of Tibet 4. Saffron: A precious medicinal material that promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, and relieves pain💊 5. Thangka: One of the main forms of Tibetan local painting✍🏻 art

#discoverchina Standing at 5,560 meters, the Karola Glacier took my breath away—both literally and figuratively. As our car wound through the harsh, high-altitude deserts of the Tibetan plateau, sudden flashes of electric-blue ice appeared like a mirage against the barren mountains. Stepping out, the viewing platform is at 5020 meter above Sea level, the wind whipped with icy intensity, yet the glacier’s sheer scale left me awestruck. Its jagged crevasses glowed under the piercing Himalayan sun, while prayer flags fluttered wildly, tying earth to heaven. Local Tibetan vendors in thick coats sold yak wool scarves, their smiles warm despite the freezing air. I pressed my hand to the ancient ice, feeling millennia of frozen history. The silence was profound—broken only by distant avalanches rumbling like thunder. In that moment, humbled by nature’s raw power, I understood why Tibetans revere these landscapes as sacred. A fleeting encounter with eternity. #china #travel #tibet

. 🌞Tibet is not really hot, but it is really sunny! You can't even imagine how high the ultraviolet rays are there! 😱Taking photos by the Namtso Lake, it was really windy and sunny. As a result, my skin got tanned and peeled and became two degrees darker after the photoshoot. It felt terrible 😭. In Lhasa, the minimum skin exposure is required. If you don’t use sunscreen, you will get sunburned! You will understand if you look at how the locals dress 👍. ♥️The bitter lessons of those who have experienced it👇 When going to Tibet, you must take proper sun protection measures! I was wearing long sleeves and was lazy so I didn't wipe my neck. I took off my coat when taking photos, and in just one hour, my neck was tanned and peeling 😭. After a few days, he turned into a black-faced Guan Gong. Now I will share with you the sun protection strategy I compiled 👇 ✅Sunscreen tips👇 1⃣ Be fully equipped: sunscreen, sun protection clothing, sun protection mask, sunglasses, hat, sun umbrella, sunscreen spray, none of them can be missing! These are all "magic tools" for sun protection, and none of them can be missing😎. 2⃣ Apply sunscreen thickly: Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen spray at any time. I got tanned this time because I didn’t reapply the spray in time. It was a painful lesson 😭. 3⃣Don’t wear an open hat: Although it looks good, in Tibet where the ultraviolet rays are extremely strong, it is more important to protect your scalp. Don’t ignore protection just for the sake of looking good😅. 4⃣Long sun protection clothing: Cover from head to toe, leaving no chance for the sun, all-round protection to rest assured😃. 5⃣Diet after sunburn: Eat light food and eat more fruits and vegetables, which will help restore skin condition 🍎🥦. 6⃣Sunburn treatment: Apply ice in time, 3 to 4 times a day, each time for half an hour. Then apply aloe vera gel to promote skin repair, which can relieve a lot🌿. 7⃣Remove sunscreen: Bath oil is the best! Using oil to dissolve oil can remove sunscreen more cleanly🛁. ⚠️Travel Tips👇 1. Weld the three life-saving sets onto my body! 3-in-1 jacket + fleece liner + quick-drying pants, put them on and unlock the right to survive in the plateau (the horse-faced skirt party is ecstatic! Open the jacket next to the prayer wheel and snap it off in 5 minutes 😜) 2. Hiking boots are the best! The steps of the Potala Palace slide + the gravel road of Mount Everest, the skaters can perform splits on the spot in minutes, so you must wear hiking boots to ensure safety👢. 3. Use Rhodiola rosea to start metaphysical body protection 7 days in advance (personal experience shows that it is more effective than forwarding koi fish 😏) Don’t buy oxygen cylinders online, they are only 15 yuan on the spot, it’s more cost-effective to buy them when you arrive at the local place 💰. 4. Fill me up with medicine packs! Motion sickness medicine (the 108 winding mountain road is specially designed to treat those who are stubborn 🚗) + nasal spray (dry enough to spit fire 💧) + erythromycin ointment (a magic weapon to prevent nostril cracks 👍). 5. Be a sloth for the first two days! bath? shampoo? Da Meh! The diffuse oxygen supply room is the home of happiness, and the ICU experience card of the hospital is a warning for disco players🏥. 6. Fill your pockets with change! Use a 1 yuan note to refill lamp oil. Don’t ask why toilets charge money (if you ask, it’s a +1 merit 😅). 7. You must understand the temple rules! The short skirt shows the waist, and the sunglasses are cool and revealing! Turn the prayer wheel clockwise and point one finger at the Buddha statue, be careful or Ajia will chase you and chant sutras🙏. 🔥Mount Everest + Yanghu Lake + Namtso Lake 5 days D1: Lhasa - Gangbala Pass - Yamdrok Lake - Karola Glacier - Manla Reservoir - Shigatse.

Tibet The city of Sunshine. This is a place that has more than 300 days of sunshine a year. It is also a place that Buddhist gor for their "holy trip" other than Bhutan and Nepal. I was catching the Best Scenic Train depart from Shanghai to Tibet, which takes about 48 hours for a single journey. When changing the train at Xi-Ning, all passengers were sled-driven to clean the windows from in and out: this is because this is the most scenic way of China railway. This train pass through the rivers, the fields, and seeing the glaciers from the train window. You could also see the snow fox by chance! Yarks are all along the journey with you just outside the window! I could see the cloud is so near to the mountains, the historical Potala Palace which the Buddha in the Palace was brought by the Princess Wen-Cheng to Tibet when she married the prince of Tibet. It is also the graphic 50 Yuan when looking it from Mountain Yao-Wang. In the past, the temples in Tibet, it's not only a place to learn Buddhism, it's a school to learnt arts, science, music, astronomy, geography etc. The monks are debating to each other to share their knowledge, to discussing the knowledge they gain from books and daily life. #travel Here in Tibet, you need to slow down at leat one tone, because at the land of 4000 a.s.l, every fast pace will make you hard breathing, as the scenery are so nice, why are you rush live the daily routine? #china #discoverchina
