Winter travelers, take note! Southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region has launched a four-month tourism bonanza, offering free entry to all A-level scenic spots—including the legendary Potala Palace—until March 15, 2026. ❄️📅 This initiative, mirroring successful programs from previous years, aims to boost off-season exploration while supporting local businesses through preferential policies.
Why Visit Now?
With fewer crowds and snow-draped landscapes, winter reveals Xizang's mystical beauty in full force. Travel agencies and transport services are rolling out curated packages, making it easier than ever to experience high-altitude monasteries, crystal-clear lakes, and vibrant Tibetan culture. 🧣✨
Pro Tip:
While temples remain excluded from the free entry program, visitors can still explore them at reduced winter rates. Pack thermal layers—temperatures average -2°C to 10°C this season!
