1. Taking flight is not suggested. The best way is to take train from Xining to Ge'rmu, then take bus to Lhasa along the Qing-Zang Highway. Better for you to adjust the high altitude.
2. Bring some fruit or bread which can stimulate your appetite. Also mineral water is a must. Travelers who visit Tibet for the first time may encounter serious altitude stress and throw up badly. Water is quite helpful.
3. Some necessary medcine should be taken with you, including rheum pills, antibiotics, anti- diarrhoea pill, anti-inflammation pills and band-aid. Take the pills once you feel uncomfortable.
4. Some must you should pay a visit in Lhasa: Potala Palace, Johkang Temple, Drepung Monastery, Barkhor street, Sera Monastery, the Norbulingka Park. If you have enough time, drive to Shigatse, then to see Mt. Everest and Yamdrok Yumtso Lake. Heavenly Lake Namtso is a must so long as your vocation is long enough.
5. The temperature difference between daytime and night is huge. Wear more in the morning. You can take off the sweater at noon, as it will be also needed in the evening.
