Lhasa is located in the middle of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is one of the cities with the highest altitude in the world. Many tourists who travel to Lhasa do not know what to bring to Tibet. You can refer to the following Tibet checklist, which I hope will be helpful to you.
1. ID card, bank card (it is recommended to bring Postal and Agricultural Bank of China, as they have more branches). If you have a student ID, teacher ID (including school work ID), military ID, etc., it is recommended to bring them as well. You can get ticket discounts at some attractions.
2. Rhodiola rosea (take at least seven days before entering Tibet to prevent altitude sickness), Gaoyuan An (to treat altitude sickness), antidiarrheal drugs, cold medicines, antipyretics, common anti-inflammatory drugs, Band-Aids and other commonly used personal medicines.
3. Lhasa has a dry climate and strong ultraviolet rays, so you need to bring lip balm, moisturizer, sunscreen (sun protection index 50 times or above), a moisturizing mask, sunglasses, sun protection clothing, and a hat.
4. Daily necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrush, face towel or disposable face towel.
5. The clothes you bring will vary depending on the time you go to Lhasa. If you travel to Lhasa in spring or autumn, the temperature in the morning and evening is still a little low, so you can bring a thick down jacket, thick pants, and a few long johns. If you travel to Lhasa in summer, bring a coat, which you can put on when the temperature is low in the morning and evening. It is not recommended to bring short sleeves and shorts because Lhasa is too sunny. If you travel to Lhasa in winter, bring a thick down jacket, thick sweater, thick pants and long johns. When traveling in Lhasa, you can wear ordinary sports shoes or casual shoes.
6. You also need to bring a mobile phone, a power bank, a data cable, a small backpack or shoulder bag, some cash (coins are not used in Tibet), and wet wipes. If you take a train to Tibet, you also need to bring some food, after all, the food on the train is a bit expensive.
The above are the things you need to bring when traveling to Lhasa . Are you clear?

Things you don’t know about Tibet
Why can’t the water boil in Tibet?
The boiling point of water changes with altitude. The boiling point of water in the plains is 100 degrees. In the high altitude areas of Tibet, the atmospheric pressure is low and the boiling point of water is only 91 degrees. In other words, water boils at 91 degrees in Tibet. Therefore, water cannot be boiled in Tibet.
