First time to Tibet, Nyingchi or Ali, which one should I choose?

👉First time to Tibet, how to choose between Nyingchi and Ali❓|||💰Total cost for seven days and six nights in Tibet: 5500+ (student-friendly version) 🚩【Regional division of Tibet】 Tibet is divided into seven major regions - Lhasa, Nyingchi, Shannan, Shigatse, Ali, Nagqu, and Qamdo. For your first trip to Tibet, it is recommended to choose the "Low Altitude Jiangnan" Linzhi Line or the "Classic Loop" Lhasa + Shigatse combination! 🌟【Linzhi VS Ali, how to choose】 📍Linzhi line (2800-3500m above sea level) ✅Suitable for: parents/children/people prone to altitude sickness 🔥Must-see attractions: ✔Namjagbarwa Peak (a peak that only nine out of ten people see) ✔Basongcuo (breathtakingly beautiful blue-green lake) ✔Lulang Forest Sea (Little Switzerland in the East) ✔Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon (the deepest canyon in the world) 💡Advantage: high oxygen content! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Don’t wash your hair on the first day in Lhasa (don’t ask me how I know 😭) 2⃣ Dressing tips: three-piece jacket + bright scarf = photogenic!
