Post and Telecom
China Post in many counties and towns of Shigatse Region can provide postal and telecom service. If you like, you even can ask the clerk to postmark your postcard when you are in Everest Base Camp. Also, many hotels provide long-distance calling and local calling service. Internet can be accessed in many hotels and internet cafes.

You can use your mobile phone in Shigatse City, but it may not work in many of the more remote areas. You should consider taking extra batteries because some places may have no electricity while you are there.

Hospitals
Traditional Tibetan Hospital located in the Tashilunpo Monastery is quite special. Doctors here are lamas who use both Tibetan and western medicine. Shigatse People's Hospital located at No. 5, Shanghai Zhong Lu, Shigatse City, is the best local hospital.

Banks
There are the Bank of China, the China Construction Bank and the Agricultural Bank of China in Shigatse City. The Bank of China can provide foreign exchange service. Take cash because few banks will accept foreign checks. You can deposit your money in China Post, which has more branches than banks.
