At the same time, don't forget to bring a carefree heart.

The space on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway train is small and cannot accommodate large suitcases. It is also inconvenient to move large suitcases around on the train during the journey.

Three principles of luggage preparation
1. Keep warm: The temperature difference in Tibet is large, so be sure to bring enough warm clothes.
2. Moisturizing: The plateau area is dry, so moisturizing products are essential.
