Tips for Visiting the Potala Palace & Jokhang Temple

Real-name reservation required; bring your original ID document and enter punctually following the guide's instructions.

Wear flat shoes and modest clothing (no shorts, miniskirts, or open-toed sandals); remove hats and sunglasses before entering the halls.

Inside the halls: no loud talking, touching artifacts, photography/videography, beverages, smoking, or open flames.

It is chilly inside the palace; bring a jacket. The main tour is limited to one hour; guides provide commentary from the outside.

Passageways are narrow and steep; move in an orderly fashion without crowding, and leave promptly after the tour.

Tips for Visiting Tibet

High-altitude travel carries risks; individuals with cardiovascular/cerebrovascular conditions, severe hypertension, or bad colds should not join the tour. Please disclose your medical history truthfully.

Ensure adequate sleep before the trip; consider taking *Rhodiola rosea* (Hongjingtian) or *Gaoyuan'an* in advance. Rest on the first day of arrival; avoid bathing, strenuous exercise, and alcohol.

Move slowly; drink plenty of water and eat smaller, frequent meals. Carry high-calorie snacks like chocolate; American ginseng is also recommended.

There is a significant temperature difference between day and night; nights in high-altitude areas like Everest are cold even in summer, so bring a thick down jacket. Power outages may occur late at night in remote areas; bring a flashlight.

Long drives and limited facilities compared to other regions; please be understanding. Bring common medications for stomach issues, colds, and minor injuries.

Time zone is Beijing Time, but daily schedules are about two hours later than in other regions. Intense sunlight and dry air; bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and lip balm.

Respect Tibetan customs: walk clockwise when circumambulating prayer wheels or visiting temples; do not photograph temple interiors; agree on a fee before photographing locals; avoid eating dog, horse, monkey, or donkey meat; handle *Hada* (ceremonial scarves) with care; avoid sensitive political topics.

Do not leave the tour group without permission; go out in pairs at night and return to the hotel before midnight. Temple opening and closing times may vary; please be flexible.
