よくある質問
この比較公開後に読者が最も多く送った質問。
Lhasa or Shangri-La for first-time Tibetan culture visitors?
Shangri-La — no permit required, lower altitude, easier access. Lhasa is the "real" Tibetan experience but requires a permit, 2-3 days acclimatization, and a tour. If you can handle the permit process, Lhasa is the deeper experience.
Do I need a Tibet Travel Permit for Shangri-La?
No — Shangri-La is in Yunnan Province, not the Tibet Autonomous Region. Independent travel is fully allowed. You only need a permit for Lhasa, Mount Kailash, and other remote Tibetan areas.
How long should I acclimatize in Lhasa?
2-3 days minimum. Rest on arrival, avoid alcohol, drink water, and consider Diamox (altitude sickness medication). Many travelers do 4-5 days in Lhasa to acclimatize and explore.
When is the best time for Lhasa?
April-October. May-June and September-October are the best (mild temperatures, clear skies). Winter (Nov-Feb) is cold and some monasteries close. Avoid Chinese New Year.
Is altitude sickness a real risk in Lhasa?
Yes — at 3,650m, about 60-80% of visitors experience some symptoms (headache, fatigue, shortness of breath). Most acclimatize in 1-2 days. Severe cases (HAPE or HACE) are rare but require immediate descent.
What is Shangri-La like in winter?
Cold but beautiful — temperatures: -5 to 5°C. Snow on the mountains, fewer tourists, lower prices. Some guesthouses close. The Songzanlin Monastery looks striking in snow. 2-3 days is enough.
