Travel Tips: What should I pay attention to when going to Tibet?

Matters needing attention in plateau tourism: the air pressure in plateau area is low, the air density is low, the oxygen content is 25% to 30% lower than that in inland plain, and the sunshine is strong, with an average annual sunshine of 3000 hours. Winter is long and cold, and there is no summer. When working, living and traveling in the plateau, we should pay attention to several problems: 1. Wear loose and warm clothes when traveling. Because of the strong sunshine in the plateau, people had better wear sunglasses, sun hats and sunscreen to prevent ultraviolet rays from burning their skin. Don't eat too much when you first arrive at the plateau. You can eat more vegetables, fruits and water. You can drink enough water before morning exercise. It's best not to smoke or drink. In addition, open the window at night to keep the air circulating. What about severe altitude sickness? Areas above 3000 meters above sea level are called plateau areas. It is characterized by low air pressure and low oxygen concentration in the air, which easily leads to hypoxia in the human body, thus causing altitude sickness. The common symptoms of altitude sickness are vomiting, tinnitus, headache, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, fever and drowsiness. In severe cases, there will be dullness, mood swings, hyperactivity, memory loss, hearing, vision, smell, taste abnormalities, hallucinations and so on. Edema, shock or spasm may also occur. 1. For patients with altitude sickness, oxygen supply and altitude reduction are the most effective first-aid treatments. If there is shock, we should give priority to complications such as hypothermia. 2. The patient should be moved to a windless place, and immediately stay in bed, pay attention to keep warm, prevent upper respiratory tract infection, and prohibit drinking a lot of water. If the pain is severe, you can take painkillers to relieve the pain. If you still can't adapt, you need to lower the height until the patient feels comfortable or the symptoms are obviously relieved. Generally speaking, patients with altitude sickness can be cured after landing. Even so, critically ill patients still need to be sent to hospital for treatment. What should I do if hypoglycemia occurs? 1. Whether traveling or sightseeing, it's best to put some candy, chocolate and fruit candy in your pocket. Eat breakfast on time Once you have to skip breakfast or eat too little breakfast, and feel flustered and hungry before lunch, eat a few sweets immediately, and it will return to normal after about 10 to 15 minutes. If possible, you can drink a cup of concentrated sugar water immediately. If you don't bring any candy on the trip, you can drink some sugary drinks or eat some other food, and you can return to normal, but the time is a little slow. 3. If the traveling companion has hypoglycemia and suddenly fainted to the ground, he should lie on his back immediately, unbutton his clothes and belt, and let him take some concentrated sugar water or sweet drinks, fruit juice, etc. Generally, it can be relieved quickly. If the above measures can make the symptoms of hypoglycemia disappear, you should consider suffering from other diseases and send them to the local hospital for treatment without hesitation. What if the legs and feet are swollen? When you first arrive at the plateau, because of the high altitude and tight schedule, people may have swollen legs and feet. Don't panic at this time. The following methods can appropriately reduce or alleviate the degree of swelling: 1. Arrange the travel time and route reasonably, don't walk too fast, take a rest after visiting a scenic spot, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. 2. Pay attention to the change of posture on the way. After standing and walking for a while, sit or lie flat for a while and cross your legs. When riding for a long time, you should raise your legs to facilitate the venous blood return of your legs and feet. When traveling for a long time, it is best to wear tight leggings, or wrap a wide cloth belt around your calf and fix it with a pin. 4. After traveling every day, burn your feet with hot water to dilate the blood vessels in your feet and facilitate blood return. What should I do if the car breaks down on the plateau under special circumstances? 1. If my car encounters an accident such as breaking down on the plateau, I should report it to the relevant departments through mobile phones, maritime satellite phones and other communication means in time. If my mobile phone has no signal, or I don't carry other means of communication, I should actively expect the coming vehicles to warn me. If I wave and ask the car behind me

3. When waiting for rescue, the trapped person should keep the air circulating in the carriage, and move his limbs every once in a while, such as moving his toes, turning his wrist and stretching his shoulders and neck to promote blood circulation. Don't turn on the radio or light often to save battery power. If the climate in this area is cold, it is suggested to start the engine warm air 10 minutes every hour, which not only saves fuel, but also is more important because the engine starts for too long, and the risk of tail gas pouring into the car is greater. At the same time, too warm environment will also make people who have just traveled to the plateau feel sleepy, and some people may have altitude sickness. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitation, nausea and vomiting, cyanosis of lips, insomnia, dreaminess and possible increase of blood pressure. These symptoms are more obvious in the first two days, and then gradually reduce or disappear. However, due to fatigue, colds and upper respiratory tract infections, the symptoms of a few people gradually worsen and develop into high altitude pulmonary edema or high altitude cerebral edema. So, how to reduce altitude sickness during travel and how to prevent altitude sickness? The suggestions are as follows: 1. Patients with heart, lung, brain and blood system diseases should not enter the plateau. Usually people have good physical fitness, and altitude sickness is relatively light after entering the plateau. However, before entering the plateau, it is best to ban smoking and alcohol, prevent upper respiratory tract infection, prevent overwork, and take necessary first-aid drugs. Second, we should have a good psychological quality and remain optimistic. Otherwise, excessive worry, anxiety and poor sleep will increase the oxygen consumption of brain tissue, leading to or aggravating altitude sickness. Third, altitude sickness can generally heal itself. If the symptoms are serious, you can give symptomatic treatment. For example, oxygen inhalation, analgesia, oral painkillers and diazepam, Tibetan medicine rhodiola GT; Oral liquid can relieve altitude sickness. Rare patients with high altitude pulmonary edema and high altitude cerebral edema need a lot of oxygen, and they are quickly transferred to low altitude areas during drug treatment, and the treatment effect is good. Fourth, the plateau climate is changeable, especially in the morning and evening. Generally, the temperature drops by 6 degrees Celsius at the altitude of1000 m.. Be sure to keep warm after entering Tibet. Even in summer, mainlanders must prepare sweaters, thermal underwear and so on. The temperature is low in winter, so we should pay more attention to cold and antifreeze. The sunshine on the plateau is strong, so you should wear sunglasses and sun hat outdoors to prevent ultraviolet rays from damaging your skin. If you want to explore or climb mountains, you should carry out phased adaptation exercises in a planned way, and don't venture into areas above 5000 meters above sea level to prevent accidents. Five, diet should choose high calorie digestible food, not overeating, especially at dinner, so as not to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, so that the heart and lungs are compressed, causing chest tightness and palpitations. You can sleep in a semi-recumbent position to reduce the burden on your heart and lungs. Credit card: Daocheng now has universal bank: China Agricultural Bank Jinsui Debit Card; There is also a postal green card, but it should be noted that Daocheng is different from the outside business. Without ATM, festivals such as the Spring Festival will be closed. Therefore, tourists who travel to Daocheng on holidays must prepare cash in advance. Power supply: the power supply along the line is not enough, and the hotel air conditioner is switched on and off regularly. At present, no wires have been laid in Aden, but there are generators in Longlongba and Luo Rong Niuchang camp, and you can still feel the lights at night. Self-driving: As the plateau area is sparsely populated, self-driving tourists should fill every county as much as possible to avoid embarrassment on the way. Wear snow chains when driving in winter. Don't drive too fast on the icy road. Safety comes first. It is best not to drive at night! Riding: It takes a long time to ride in scenic spots, so you should choose suitable horses and saddles, pay attention to safety and follow the guidance of service personnel. Take your documents and articles with you: ID card or passport, border card (to Everest), please apply for border card locally. A big backpack and a small backpack: S.

Sun protection: Because of the strong sunshine, you should bring sunglasses, sun hat and sunscreen oil when you go out. Girls should wear high sun protection. Medicine: Because of lack of oxygen and low air pressure, boiled water is often not cooked thoroughly. I will have diarrhea when I first come here. You should prepare laxatives such as berberine. In addition, you should bring heat-clearing drinks, such as chrysanthemum tea, summer mulberry chrysanthemum and American ginseng granules. Vitamin C can strengthen the body, and lipstick can prevent chapped lips. Because mountain sickness is often accompanied by severe headache, please prepare betrayal, painkillers, headache powder and other painkillers. High-calorie foods such as chocolate, anti-hypoxia drugs such as rhodiola, glucose and other climatic characteristics: the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is characterized by high terrain, cold and hypoxia, long winter without summer, and spring and autumn are connected; Strong solar radiation and long sunshine time; Rainfall is low and dry; Climatic characteristics of large temperature difference between day and night. The best travel time is from May to 10 every year, in which August and September are the golden seasons for tourism and are summer resorts with mild and pleasant climate. Due to the above climatic reasons, please pay attention when choosing a trip to Qinghai-Tibet: (1) You must choose clothes with good warmth, and it is best to prepare sunscreen skin care products such as sunglasses and sun hats to avoid being damaged by ultraviolet rays. (2) Standing medicines: please bring your own common cold medicines and gastrointestinal medicines; As the air is dry, please prepare throat lozenges and sugar. Distant and mysterious Tibet is located in the southwest of China, and its unique style attracts more and more people to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. So what's the climate, customs and customs in Tibet, and what health care issues should be paid attention to when traveling? Let's listen to the opinions of doctors who have supported Tibet for more than ten years. Areas above 3000 meters above sea level are called plateau areas. Tibet has an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters, which is characterized by low air pressure and low oxygen content, which easily leads to human hypoxia. If the preventive measures are not appropriate, it will cause the plateau not to adapt. Include acute altitude sickness, altitude pulmonary edema, altitude coma, chronic altitude sickness, altitude heart disease, altitude hypertension, altitude hypotension and altitude polycythemia. People who enter the plateau for the first time or re-enter it for a long time should pay attention to the following problems. First, people who enter the plateau should have a strict and comprehensive physical examination. Anyone who has obvious visceral organic diseases such as heart, liver, lung and kidney and has blood pressure above phase III is not suitable for entering Tibet. Second, people over 40, overweight or weak should not go. Obesity will aggravate altitude hypoxia and easily stimulate altitude heart disease. Third, if you have a bad cold, you'd better recover in the plain before entering Tibet. Otherwise, it will aggravate the mountain reaction and even induce pulmonary edema. Fourth, people who go to the plateau for the first time, it is best to go to Tibet in summer and autumn, because this can greatly reduce altitude sickness, and the cold in winter will aggravate the body's hypoxia. S better to go to Tibet by bus and get used to it. 5. After just arriving at the plateau or intermittently entering the plateau, you should stay in bed for the first few days, despite avoiding strenuous exercise and activities and running less and jumping less. 6. The alpine climate is cool in the morning and evening, and it is hot even at noon in summer, so it is very important to keep warm. Wear wool trousers and cotton-padded clothes in autumn and fur coat boots in winter to prevent colds and upper respiratory tract infections. 7. People who have just entered the plateau should eat more rice. Especially sweet porridge with sugar can inhibit nausea and vomiting. Supplying acidic drinks helps to correct alkalosis and replenish energy and water. Because the climate is dry and the body is in urgent need of water, you can often drink some tea or juice drinks. Drink 1-2 mouthfuls each time, and drink several times more. Camellia oleifera can effectively resist the harsh climate in high mountains. You should also eat foods rich in vitamins, protein and high calories, such as vegetables, fruits, lean meat and chocolate candy. Eight, tourists should also prepare sunglasses to prevent sand and sun. Plateau direct sunlight and strong ultraviolet rays will cause different deg.

Medical staff should also be healthy. Scientists say the plateau above 3000 meters above sea level. Because when the altitude reaches this height, its climate characteristics (such as hypoxia, hypoxia, high radiation and high cold) are obviously different from those in the plain. In such an environment, people have to make a series of physical adjustments to adapt. Therefore, people who have just entered or even lived in the plateau must guard against the occurrence of acute altitude sickness from many aspects when they return to the plateau from the plain. 1. People with the following diseases should not enter the plateau. If you have never been to the plateau, you must have a strict physical examination before entering the plateau. If you find that your heart, lungs, brain, liver and kidney have obvious lesions, severe anemia or hypertension, please don't blindly enter the plateau. If it is just a common disease, you must take necessary preventive measures in advance, such as carrying oxygen with you. Two. After arriving at the plateau, pay attention to the matters. When you first arrive at the plateau, everyone will feel different degrees of chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and other hypoxia symptoms. But that doesn't mean you can. I am not used to the plateau. If you can protect yourself correctly, the above symptoms can generally be improved or disappeared after 5-7 days. People often advocate oxygen inhalation to relieve discomfort. Of course, oxygen inhalation can temporarily relieve chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea and other symptoms, but after stopping oxygen inhalation. This has delayed the time to adapt to the plateau. We insist that if the above symptoms are not serious, especially during rest, you'd better not take oxygen. This will enable you to adapt to the plateau environment quickly. Just entering the plateau, don't overeat, so as not to increase the burden on the digestive organs and make them adapt to this environment well. It's best not to drink or smoke. Eat more vitamins such as vegetables and fruits, but it must also be noted that if you enter the plateau, the above symptoms will become more and more serious, especially at rest. You should take oxygen immediately and go to the hospital for treatment. To prevent the adverse consequences caused by acute high altitude pulmonary edema. When you first arrive at the plateau, don't walk, don't run, and don't do manual labor. After a week's rest, you can gradually increase a certain amount of labor. This is the theoretical basis for going to work a week later, from the plain to the plateau. When you first arrive at the plateau, you should prevent colds caused by catching cold. It is one of the main causes of acute high altitude pulmonary edema caused by cold. Everyone is eager to climb the Range Rover. For those who like to climb high, they must be prepared in advance before going to the plateau. First, the mountain reaction is not obvious to most people. A few people have altitude sickness above 3000 meters, and altitude sickness occurs 6- 12 hours after entering the mountain. A few people 1-3 days later, usually return to normal in 3-7 days. Proper exercise should be combined with symptomatic treatment. 1. Proper oxygen inhalation is effective for dyspnea and chest tightness caused by altitude sickness. 2. Take painkillers to relieve headaches. 3. Take gastrointestinal medicine to treat loss of appetite. 4. For insomnia, diazepam should be used. When you first arrive in the mountainous area, you should actively adapt and reduce physical exertion. Also pay attention to strengthening nutrition. When you have a bad appetite, you should eat and drink more liquid foods, such as milk and juice. Second, alpine pulmonary edema Pulmonary edema is a common mountain disease. It occurs at an altitude of 2250-4000 meters. 1. If you have a bad cough, don't. Don't lie flat when you have difficulty breathing. 2. When the lips and forehead are blue and purple, they should be transferred to low altitude areas in time. 3. After onset, stay in bed and keep warm. Third, the prevention and treatment of frostbite is to have complete equipment to keep clothes dry and soft. Wipe your hands and face constantly when you walk. Don't just sit on the ground and rest. 1. It needs to be heated quickly after frostbite to reduce the damage of frostbite to tissues. 2. After the occurrence of mild frostbite, drugs should be applied in time to facilitate early recovery. Fourth, the occurrence of snow blindness is like having sand in your eyes, your eyes are red, the wind is blowing, and you are crying. Wear glasses when there is snow on the plateau. Snow blindness will affect climbers.

Tibet is an inalienable part of China. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the central government has been exercising effective jurisdiction over Tibet. Tibet was called Tubo in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
