  • Question 2

    What is the climate in Tibet?

    The climate of Tibet is unique and complex, influenced significantly by the topography of the plateau and atmospheric circulation. The general trend is cold and dry in the northwest and warm and humid in the southeast, with significant vertical climate zones. Because of the high altitude, the air is thin, the air pressure is low, and the oxygen content is low, so the temperature is generally low, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. The rainy season in Tibet begins in April and May, and gradually expands westward from Tsatsumi and Mutuo in southeastern Tibet, until the whole of Tibet enters the rainy season in July. During the rainy season, the night rain rate is generally high in all parts of Tibet, especially in the Yarlung Tsangpo River valley. The night rain rate in Lhasa is as high as 85%.

  • Question 3

    What's the best time to visit Tibet?

    The best time periods to visit Tibet are spring (March to May) and fall (September to November). Spring, especially from March to May, is another peak period for Tibet tourism. During this period, Tibet has a pleasant climate and high oxygen concentration, which is perfect for enjoying the scenery of Lhasa city and the surrounding natural landscapes. In addition, the peach blossoms in the Linzhi area bloom in spring, adding endless charm to the season. Spring is also a good time to experience religious activities such as the Tibetan Pilgrimage Festival. During this season, Tibet's pleasant climate and high skies make it an excellent time to enjoy the autumn colors of the plateau. Religious festivals in the fall are also a major attraction, such as the Ghee Flower and Lantern Festival in Lhasa, which adds more cultural experiences to the season2.Religious festivals in the fall are also a major attraction, such as the Ghee Flower and Lantern Festival in Lhasa, which adds more cultural experiences to the season.

Special thanks to my guide, Sofia. It's really hard for me to find a Spanish tour guide. She is professional and I have a good understanding about the China culture under her guide. During the Xi'an trip, I was shocked by the strong atmosphere of culture. I hope I can go next time, really love it.

Independent travel by train in China…
Independent travel by train in China can be daunting ordeal. We decided to use Intoexplore for booking the trip and are very happy we did. It almost felt like Norman was a family member guiding us through how to use Alipay for payments in China to where to find the ticket office in the train station to convert digital tickets to paper. He was always available (sometimes at 6 am!) to answer any question and solve any problems that arose .. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about independent travel to China .
