Tibet Wedding Photoshoot

Recommended tourist attractions in Tibet! Wedding photos in Tibet! [Explore Tibet for just CNY 3,000 per person! A tried-and-true 7-day budget travel guide, including tips to avoid tourist traps] Just back from Tibet! My friends keep asking me about my money-saving travel tips. Students and working professionals, take note of this real experience report👇 🌄[Must-visit attractions review] 1️⃣Potala Palace (Tickets: CNY 200) - Money-saving tip: Book 7 days in advance through the mini program. Free admission in winter! Renting an audio guide (CNY 30) is more cost-effective than hiring a tour guide. - Recommended photo spots: Yaowang Mountain Observation Deck (free), Potala Palace Square reflection (bring your own mineral water to splash on the ground). 2️⃣Jokhang Temple + Barkhor Street (Combined ticket: CNY 85) - Be sure to walk the kora with the locals (free experience). The aroma of yak butter tea mixed with chanting in the early morning is so soothing. - Bargain for Tibetan clothing photoshoots down to CNY 299, including makeup and styling (don't choose the CNY 199 option, the cosmetics are of poor quality). 3️⃣Namtso (Carpool: CNY 200/person) - The lake thaws in May and is incredibly beautiful! Avoid the CNY 680 group tours; carpooling from hostels is more affordable. - Stay in Tibetan homestays in Damxung County (CNY 80/person), which is half the price of those in the scenic area. 4️⃣Yamdrok Lake (Chartered car, shared cost: CNY 150) - The most stunning of the three holy lakes! No need to buy the CNY 60 observation deck ticket; drive 2 km down for free photo opportunities. 5️⃣Mount Everest Base Camp (4-day carpool: CNY 1,800) - Remember to bargain for stargazing tents down to CNY 80/bed. Take free photos of the Milky Way after 10 pm. - Apply for a border permit in advance at your registered residence (free). Don't pay for agency services! 6️⃣New ways to explore Nyingchi (Bus: CNY 120) - Stay in a Tibetan home in Suosong Village during the Peach Blossom Festival in March (including breakfast and dinner: CNY 150/day). - Hike through Gang Spruce Forest for free in September and encounter wild macaques. 🍵[Local food list] ✔️Guangming Tea House: CNY 1 sweet tea with unlimited refills (bring small change). ✔️Seasonal Tibetan Set Meal: CNY 58 matsutake mushroom chicken soup noodles, super tasty. ✔️Adia Milk Tea: CNY 22 signature milk tea, a must-try, more cost-effective than a certain brand. ✔️Roadside tsampa CNY 3/piece with butter tea, a remedy for altitude sickness. 🚌[Transportation tips to avoid scams] ▶️Take train Z164 (Shanghai-Lhasa) for the most scenic route into Tibet. ▶️Didi is 30% cheaper than taxis within the city. Public transportation is CNY 1 for the entire city. ▶️Don't fall for the "private viewing platform" fee scam when going to Yamdrok Lake. 🏠[Recommended hostels based on personal experience] ➰Five Years and One Day (Potala Palace Branch): CNY 50/person, rooftop access for night photography. ➰Pingcuo Kangsang: A gathering place for literary youth, with plenty of carpooling information. ⚠️Real and painful lessons learned 1️⃣Don't take a shower on the first day! I stubbornly did and suffered from altitude sickness, ending up in a clinic. 2️⃣Don't touch jewelry casually! Street vendors have many tricks to force sales. 3️⃣Buy oxygen tanks at pharmacies for CNY 15. Prices triple in scenic areas. 4️⃣Visit Zaki Temple on Wednesdays for wealth blessings. White wine + khata only cost CNY 20. The highland wind awakens the soul. Every frame here is like a palette overturned by the gods. Youth is priceless, take a hard seat train straight to Lhasa.
