Travel Tips to Visit Tibet One

Tibet captivates many tourists, with its unique natural landscape and distinctive local customs. Its highlands and snowy sceneries set the region apart from all other tourist destinations. As a travel agency that has arranged countless trips to Tibet, the Shanghai Focus travel agent has many tips for tourists to ensure a pleasant journey in Tibet.
When is the best time to travel to Tibet? How's the weather there?
It's advisable to make a trip to Tibet during July to September. The region has a long sunshine duration, and the temperature drops as the elevation increases. It gets dry, cold and windy during the winter, and turns cool and rainy during the summer months. Therefore, it's necessary to avoid the rainy season and freezing winter.
Are there any places or things in Tibet that truly impress you?
I spent a month there, but many things were unforgettable. When I stood at the gate of the JokhangTemple at five in the morning, it was spectacular and overwhelming to watch many pious local people genuflecting and worshiping the Buddha. While heading toLhasa, I ran into pilgrims who were covered in mud and genuflecting every three steps on the way. It would take them months or even a year to get to Lhasa. A little girl told me that one needs ten thousand genuflections to be considered pious.
Can foreigners go to Tibet alone?
Foreign tourists need to have a Tibet travel permit, which can be obtained with the help of travel agencies. Foreigners must sign up on an organized tour during their visit. At the same time, foreign journalists and diplomats can't enter Tibet as tourists.
Will everyone suffer with altitude sickness? How should tourists deal with it?
Most people will have altitude sickness when they arrive for the first time. The best way to avoid or alleviate it is to keep a positive attitude, because many of the symptoms are induced mentally. 
If you feel a bit uncomfortable, it's better to take more rest and maintain a regular diet. If the conditions get worse, you should go to hospital. In addition, it's better to stop all intense exercise half a month before traveling to Tibet, because intense exercise causes more oxygen consumption and strains the heart, which is more likely to cause altitude sickness.

China New Travel Policy

Have you ever known the new visa policy of China already?                            
According to the new policy for tours, Shanghai is trying to consolidate its status as a global hot spot by allowing visitors arriving by passenger liners to spend three days in the city without a visa.
Pending approval from the central government, the city plans to extend the visa-free policy at its two airports to the cruise terminals, and set up duty-free stores and tax-refund outlets there, the Shanghai Municipal Tourism Administration said on Tuesday. 
The policy, first raised in a proposal by Shanghai Deputy Mayor Zhao Wen to the national political meetings in March, will hopefully be in place within the year, the administration added. 
Tourists holding third-country visas and plane tickets are allowed to apply for visa-free transit at the city's Hong-qiao and Pudong airports. Before this, Shanghai had been carrying out a program for years to allow visitors arriving from 32 countries by air a 48-hour visa-free stay.
As for how, or to what degree, the new program will benefit the tourism sector, Chen said it is hard to estimate because unlike business travelers taking airplanes, tourists arriving in liners set their itineraries far in advance. 
But the policy corresponds to Shanghai's plan to develop its tourism and cruise industry, Chen said.
Developing the cruise industry - which has changed from the days of transoceanic transportation and tropical vacations only available to society's elite - has become an important strategy for seaside cities like ShanghaiTianjin and Sanya to boost tourism.
The National Tourism Administration in September approved Shanghai as the first experimental zone for the development of China's cruise industry.
The number of passengers at Shanghai's cruise terminals has surged this year, thanks to the city's policy support and public interest in a vacation option now affordable for ordinary people.

China Travel Plan in 2013


Life is a process to get pains and sweets to grow old and become mature. Just as what I always say that life is an experience, just like travel. The goal of people’s dream to travel around the world is just to experience more things and challenge themselves to find more.
 
According to the polls, most visitors come to China to explore the mysterious old oriented Chinese culture of almost 5 thousands years. They are interested in the old culture relics and the famous huge mountains and glorious waters. Just as we Chinese people love to travel in European countries, we are all fresh to the world that we don’t touch.

As the international city of ChinaShanghai is the first station for foreign people to arrive in. The international airport Hongqiao and Pudong are famous for people. In Shanghai, there are many visitors walking along the Bund district, where is the best proof of western influence on this oriented city. The Bund is one of the must-to-go attractions in Shanghai, just like the Great Wall in Beijing. Here are a district of European-inspired architectures built several decades ago. 

As we all know, China is famous for the longstanding history and old oriented culture deposits. And what’s more, as the development of the society and economy, Shanghai City has become a modern and international city in China. Many foreigners are interested in the decorations in delicate Chinese handcraft and some small things.  

Who will travel with you?
The person who can keep company with you is the one understand you and care about you. This one can be your best friends, your sisters, brothers, parents and your honey beloved. But keep in mind that find someone who have the same interests and same destination to travel with you. After all, you should relax your heart and mind on the journey.
