Guide to Tibet self-help tour: prepare thick clothes, prevent altitude sickness, bring sunscreen and plan the route.
1. There is a large temperature difference between day and night in Tibet. The annual average temperature is-2.4 C-12.1 C, decreasing from southeast to northwest. The monthly average temperature is the highest in June or July, and the lowest in January. The daily temperature range in most areas is above 15°C, which is larger in winter and smaller in summer. It is recommended to bring some clothes.
2. It's actually very convenient to withdraw money in Tibet, but it's recommended to use postal savings. The most convenient bank, such as China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China and China Bank, is also available, but some small places may not have their outlets, and some county towns often close their doors, but generally there are ATMs, while others, such as China Everbright and Communications, are not available in Tibet.
3. Tibet's ultraviolet rays are very strong, so we must not take them lightly. Lhasa, in particular, is a "sunshine city" with high altitude. Pay attention to take sunscreen and protect your skin. In addition, you'd better take sunglasses and sun hats, otherwise your skin will be unbearable and your eyes will be uncomfortable at the end of the day.
4. Tibet has many good points. You can see which places you are interested in and then make your own itinerary. Like Potala Palace (3 hours)? →? Zongjiao lukang park (1 hour)? →? Jokhang Temple (1.5 hours)? →? Barkhor Street (2 hours).

Notes:
1. The air in Tibet is thin, with low air pressure and low oxygen content. The average air density is 6%-7% of that at sea level, and the oxygen content in plateau air is 35%-4% lower than that at sea level. The solar radiation is strong and the sunshine time is long. When you go to Tibet, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, pay attention to national unity, respect the Buddha statue, and you can't touch it with your hands. In addition, you can't touch the head of Tibetans. This is taboo.
2. When you go to Tibet, you can stay in a family hotel or something, which has a Tibetan flavor, is not expensive and is very comfortable. There is no need to worry about personal safety. Tibet is very safe, and many armed police patrol the streets. There is no need to worry at all.
