Which has the greater altitude sickness, Tibet or Xinjiang?

The Tibetan plateau has a great reaction.

Altitude sickness is a common disease peculiar to plateau area, also known as altitude sickness. Generally speaking, after reaching a certain altitude (usually above 3000), it is exposed to a low-pressure and low-oxygen environment, which is caused by changes in air drying, ultraviolet radiation and cold climate.

Let's look at the altitude of Tibet and Xinjiang.

Average elevation in Xinjiang:

The basic topography of Xinjiang is three mountains and two basins, not a whole plateau. The main scenic spots in Xinjiang are all below 3500 altitude, so it is difficult to have altitude sickness.

Let's take a look at the altitudes of major cities in Xinjiang. Urumqi 9 18m, Yili 663m, Turpan 35m, Changji 577m, Altay 735m, Tacheng 548m, Hami 738m, Artux 1298m.

Average altitude in Tibet:

Tibet is located in the west and south of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, accounting for more than half of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The area above 4000 meters above sea level accounts for 85. 1% of the total area of the whole region. It is called "the roof of the world" and "the roof of the earth" and is the highest place in the world.

In addition, Tibet has thin air, low air pressure and low oxygen content. The average air density is 60%-70% of the air density at sea level, and the oxygen content in plateau air is 35%-40% less than that at sea level.

Let's look at the altitude of major cities in Tibet. Lhasa is 3680 meters above sea level, Linzhi is 2900 meters above sea level, Ali is over 4500 meters above sea level, Shigatse is 3800 meters above sea level, Qamdo is 3250 meters above sea level, and Shannan is about 3700 meters above sea level.

Summary: It can be seen that most areas in Tibet are above 3000 meters above sea level, while Xinjiang is just the opposite.

Ways to relieve hyperreflexia:

1, oxygen inhalation

When altitude sickness occurs in the plateau area and you feel uncomfortable, you can take oxygen by yourself to increase the oxygen content in your body.

Step 2 pay attention to rest

When altitude sickness occurs, the first thing to do is to have a good rest. Don't feel that you don't need a rest if you are not tired. Be sure to ensure adequate sleep time, so that the body has a process of adaptation.

Step 3 don't exercise

In plateau areas, it is best to sit and rest, don't walk around excitedly, and don't do heavy physical labor.

4, pay attention to keep warm

Put on more clothes. There is usually a great temperature difference between day and night in plateau areas. Be sure to do your own warm work to prevent colds.

I have been to Yili, Xinjiang once, and I didn't feel any high reaction, so the altitude sickness in Tibet is greater than that in Xinjiang.
