[Travel Note Sharing] Singles Traveling to Tibet in September, Continued (Part 3)

I signed up for a seven-day tour with a full itinerary on Fliggy. It was the most difficult tour I have ever participated in in my life.

Qinghai-Tibet seven-day tour

The itinerary is roughly as follows, the price is 3980 (the store I applied for has a discount of 100).

[Travel Note Sharing] Singles Traveling to Tibet in September, Continued (Part 3)

I originally thought it was a circular route, but it was actually close to a straight round trip. I felt that this route was not that good. The stars are where I stay.

Other group members reported on Ctrip and Mafengfeng, both at similar prices. They are probably the more mainstream routes in Tibet tourism. There is no problem in a fifteen-seater car with 12 group members and a driver.

However, the scenic spots in Tibet are extremely scattered, so it takes about ten hours of driving every day. It took one hour of driving and ten minutes of sightseeing, which was a bit miserable. The driver will do whatever he can, so the seats are not rotated. Friends who want to see the scenery are advised to get on the bus as early as possible and occupy the front window and other seats. This time I sat by the window, and there was a young lady next to me, so I took turns sitting by the window, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Day 1 Lhasa-Ningchi

Tour groups usually gather at the White Tower Station on the left side of the Bu Palace around eight o'clock.

In Tibet, we can meet many people who promote cycling tours across the country, and I also met them today.

As soon as we got in the car, the driver started nagging about how high the price was. High-resistance can be said to be a common topic for everyone. Except for the last few days, it basically runs through the whole situation and is talked about by everyone. The driver’s theory about high fever is very simple: Any physical discomfort you have when you come to Tibet is because of high fever. The more you take medicine for high fever, the worse it becomes. Only by inhaling oxygen can you solve the problem of high reflexes. Oxygen from small bottles is useless and can only be used as a placebo. If you want to inhale, you have to inhale oxygen from large cylinders. Oxygen in large cylinders is very useful. One bottle can last for seven to eight hours. Everything can be solved after breathing oxygen. One bottle is worth 600 yuan.

In short, this guy is trying to induce group members to buy oxygen on all topics related to anti-religion. If you meet someone who says similar things, you'd better be wary. Either I am trying to sell you oxygen, or I am believing what the driver said. In short, I am either bad or stupid. The oxygen worth 600 looks like this. It takes up a lot of space and cannot be carried around.

There must be students here who want to ask, so how do I judge that I am a high-religion student? The standard answer is probably to see a doctor, haha. How to judge without seeing a doctor? On the first day I joined the group, I encountered a pretty standard answer: Blood oxygen saturation. At lunch that day, when an elder brother and elder sister were talking about high fever with a Cantonese girl, they naturally talked about their respective blood oxygen saturation values. Big brother "I'm over 90, I don't feel anything at all", Little sister "I'm over 80, I feel okay", Big sister "I was a little uncomfortable last night. I looked over 70 now. It’s not bad, there are more than eighty”.

As a pollen, I knew about this function, so I immediately understood the conversation, while the other friends looked confused. I quickly explained to others, "Blood oxygen saturation is the oxygen content in the blood. The normal value is about 95%. " After finishing speaking, Dingqing took a look and saw that the elder brother and the younger sister were all wearing Huawei watches. , the eldest sister is wearing a Huawei bracelet.

My own Honor Band 4 does not have a blood oxygen function. At the time, I thought this function was a bit useless, but I didn’t expect that it would become very useful when I came to Tibet. After that, the elder brother took off his watch and passed it to other group members to measure it. The values of the energetic ones were also relatively high, while the values of the less energetic ones were not that low.

Later, a girl from Guangdong suffered a severe high fever at Shengxiang Tianmen. According to her, her blood oxygen saturation dropped to over 60 and she was extremely uncomfortable. She was so frightened that she quickly spent 900 to buy a bottle of oxygen. After inhaling, the value increased and her symptoms were relieved. So I think this high reaction can be judged by the value of blood oxygen saturation.

The new Apple watch has also added this function. People who are considering going to Tibet can get a Huawei bracelet or buy a new Apple watch. The values are relatively objective and there is no need to be suspicious.

Let’s talk about travel. The first scenic spot of the day is the lake called Sijinlacuo. Licuo means lake in Tibetan. When we get to a bunch of lakes in the back, everyone likes to talk about measures. When I first started saying it, I thought it was pretty cool, but after I said it more, I felt it was better. Looking back now, the lake itself really has no characteristics, except for the many stone towers on the lakeside, which are piled very high.

Encountered an army of Porsches at the rest stop.

Passing by Mira Pass, the altitude is a little over 5,000, and I can't stop breathing when I move.

The confluence of the two rivers of the Brahmaputra River has obvious color stratification.

As for the important scenic spot Nangagbarwa Peak, we didn’t get there before dark, so naturally we didn’t get to see it. On this day, it was said that the originally booked hotel would not handle our business, so we were arranged to a hotel in a very rural area, which was eerily quiet. The lights in a groupmate’s room would turn on automatically after being turned off for a while, which was extremely weird. I turned off the light in my room while saying it was so scary, so scary, and then this light also came on after a while, and I couldn’t help laughing.

Because it's relatively rural, you can see a bit of the Milky Way.

Day 2 Nyingchi-Lhasa

That's right, go straight back, this route is stupid. I woke up in the morning and went to the observation deck. It was cloudy, and I still couldn’t see Nangagbarwa Peak. I just let the plane fly, and the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon is still pretty good to see.

Just say something to our driver. People who fly drones like me are very concerned about time. Tour guides who say they want to see the scenic spots but don’t tell them the specific time will be very offended.

As an old mage from other groups, although I also have a telephoto lens, I can’t carry it anymore, so I only carry a 24-105.

The Buddha's Palm Sand Dunes and both sides of the Yarlung Zangbo River are actually a bit desert-like. When it's dry, the wind blows and it becomes a vast expanse of white, quite reminiscent of the Western Regions.

On this day, the Lahu Lacuo Road was said to have collapsed. We were originally going to Qingpu Monastery, but our group members strongly opposed it and ended up going to Gondeling Grassland. The grassland itself is not much, but after all the second day, I still didn’t get tired of the scenery. We stopped to rest midway. Everyone was very excited to see the scenery they had never seen before, and they spread out to take photos. I flew a drone and found that yaks are quite afraid of drones, so I stopped chasing them.

I borrowed a photo from a girl in the same group to explain how ordinary people take photos in Tibet.
