Some of the famous scenic spots are overloaded (the tourism resource allocation in an exceptionally tense condition for the supply is inadequate to meet the visitors' demand) since most of the visitors tend to travel to the plateau in summer. Some of the visitors were burdened with this situation. That dropped the recognition and experience of the travel to Tibet. In light of this situation, Tibet Autonomous Region Tourism Bureau planned a "winter travel route" for the visitors on the basis of normal operation of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and Nyingchi Airport: take Nyingchi as the place for landing, take Lhasa as the place for experience, and take the Qinghai-Tibet Railway as the exit. Back to the solar city - Lhasa after visited Nyingchi and adapted to the plateau, the plateau effect would be greatly alleviated in their following trip.
It is reported that Lhasa, Shigatse, Shannan and Nyingchi are famous "plateau sunbelt", and they would bring the visitors more leisure and easy. Visitors could enjoy the warm sunshine in the winter in the Potala Palace Square; appreciate the red and white buildings and the golden roofs of the Potala Palace with a leisure mind, and that would make you get something special. You could also go toShigatse to admire the winter scenery of the highest peak of the world - Mount Qomolangma. The beautiful snow mountains represented by the most beautiful mountain in China - Nankyabawa Peak, the colored forests, the Tibetain stockades surrounded by forests and the flowering azaleas would make you forget that it is winter. If you have the chance to visit a Tibetain family, you could experience the customs of the plateau people. Finally, take the train leave Tibet, the glittering meadow of the plateau in the north of Tibet would stay in your memory for a long time. The hiking tour project at the turn of the Yalutsangpo River would be brought out in October 2007. The visitors would have one more place for travel in winter.
The price discounts of the flights from Chengdu, Xian, Chongqing to Lhasa are motivated by the operation of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the Nyingchi Airport, as well as several airlines take Lhasa as their destination. Therefore, the price of the travel to Tibet in winter decreases a lot.
The tourism bureau of Tibet will integrate traffic, accommodation and scenic spots to carry out Tibet tour promotions. These promotions makes you enjoy Tibetan Tour with much less cost.
There are many highlights of the travel to Tibet in winter, especially the beautiful Nyingchi Area, which is called the Hinterland of Xiangbala. Nyingchi is rich in tour resources, such as Yalutsangpo River Valley, Nankyabawa Peak and Badong Waterfall Group etc. When it is winter, Nyingchi area is covered with green grass and trees, and dotted with colorful flowers. The best time to go to Nyingchi is at the end of a year and the beginning of a new year.
Besides, there are also different culural and festive activities, such as, Randeng Festival and Tibetan New Year. Activities during the festivals are interesting and colorful. Visitors can thouroughly feel the unique culture of Tibet, religions and traditions. This will be an unforgetable cultural experiences of your life.
