Students are going to travel to Tibet in the summer vacation, hoping to give directions!

Most parts of Tibet are at high altitude, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. In winter and early spring, the climate is dry and cold, the wind and sand are heavy, the oxygen content in the air is obviously lower than that in summer, and many areas and sections are covered with snow and ice. Therefore, April-October is the ideal time to travel to Tibet. July-August is the rainy season in Tibet, and there will be mudslides, landslides, swamps, etc. in some sections, which will make it impossible for vehicles to pass. Among them, it is more serious to enter Tibet along the Sichuan-Tibet highway, from Lhasa to Linzhi area in eastern Tibet, and from Lhasa to Ali along the north-south line. Self-driving or hiking explorers should try to avoid the rainy season and choose May, June, September and October. If they ride bicycles, they can go to Qinghai in August and arrive in Tibet at the end of the month.

2. Procedures for entering Tibet

If you go to a border county in Tibet, that is, a county bordering a foreign country, you must apply for a border pass, such as Zhangmu, Ali, Everest, Medog and Milin. In principle, these documents should be handled at the tourist's residence, but they can also be handled by the police station where the hotel is located in Lhasa, which takes 3-4 days, and sometimes photos are needed. Therefore, you should take four one-inch bareheaded photos with you. If the travel time is tight, you can go to various travel agencies and restaurants in Tibet to apply for border permits, which can provide various services for tourists, and you can also go to the "Reception Desk for Individual Tourists in Tibet" opposite the snowy hotel for half a day.

3. Equipment for entering Tibet

A. A backpack with toiletries, sun visor, sunscreen, sunglasses, etc. The sunshine on the plateau is strong. When outdoors, you should pay attention to wearing sunglasses and sun visor and take protective measures.

B. The temperature in Tibet is low in the morning and evening. Generally speaking, the temperature drops by 6℃ every 1 meters above sea level, so clothes should be kept warm. Even in summer, people from the mainland must prepare sweaters, thermal underwear, etc. The temperature in winter is relatively low, so it is necessary to pay more attention to cold and frost resistance. But it doesn't matter to strong people. I was in Lhasa in October and often wore a pair of shorts at night. Don't imagine Tibet too mysterious.

C. There is no Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Tibet, and its passbook and peony card will be meaningless here. It is best to take the passbook of Agricultural Bank of China with you when traveling. Agricultural Bank has savings offices all over the country, and the more remote the place, the more popular it is. Postal savings here is also a national deposit and withdrawal.

D. Prepare some small gifts, such as candy, mechanical pencil, etc., and give some to children in minority families, you will be more popular.

e. prepare some small change of 1 cents. There are many children begging for money in Tibet.

F. If you go to Tibet in the rainy season, you should bring rainproof clothes, which are usually sold in outdoor equipment stores and in Lhasa, but the price is much more expensive than that in Beijing and other cities. When the two backpacking girls I met on the way arrived in Lhasa, I just asked my family to send them.

g. You should bring some medicines, mainly medicines for relieving pneumonia and cold. Rhodiola is a medicine for treating altitude hypoxia, and you can also bring two bottles. The best and most practical medicine for treating hypoxia is glucose solution, a box of five, which can be injected or taken orally. The glucose I drank when I rode the Qinghai-Tibet Line and crossed the Tanggula Mountain was very effective. You can bring an oxygen bag. Although it will be finished without inhaling for 1 minutes, it can give people a sense of spiritual security (but please note that once it is inhaled, it will be dependent).

"When traveling in Tibet, you should pay special attention not to drink too much." Wang Hongbin said that under the condition of high altitude hypoxia, the detoxification function of the liver is decreased, and the brain tissue is deprived of oxygen. Alcohol can directly damage liver cells after drinking a lot. Due to the stimulation of alcohol, the heart rate is accelerated, and the stroke volume per minute of the heart is correspondingly reduced, thus aggravating the degree of hypoxia in brain tissue. In addition, alcohol can aggravate diseases such as cerebral arteriosclerosis and coronary arteriosclerosis caused by hypoxia.

Wang Hongbin said that tourists should eliminate their fear of the plateau. Although everyone has different adaptability to the plateau environment, as long as they are healthy, most people can adapt to the plateau environment quickly. Taking some drugs to relieve and prevent altitude sickness, such as Gao Yuan Kang, Gao Yuan An and Rhodiola, can enhance the adaptability to the altitude environment. After entering Tibet, if acute altitude sickness occurs, there will be no danger as long as you go to the hospital for treatment in time. At present, Tibetan hospitals have mature treatment schemes for acute altitude sickness, and the cure rate is over 99%. (End)

With the opening of Qinghai-Tibet, experts predict that a large number of tourists will visit Tibet after the opening of the railway. What should we pay attention to when traveling to Tibet?

the direction of going to visit the Buddha

temples are the most important cultural tourist attractions in Tibet. In many temples, you should walk clockwise.

On the contrary, in some temples of Bonism, a religion native to Tibet, the direction of turning meridians is just the opposite, and they should walk counterclockwise.

before preparing to visit the temple, tourists should choose their diet, and it is best not to eat garlic. "Even if the temple is on fire, don't let people who eat garlic enter the temple." Although this sentence is a proverb, it expresses a religious custom.

visitors are advised to take off their hats before entering the Buddhist temple. Don't make any noise, touch the Buddha statue or litter in the Buddhist temple. You can't make videos or take photos in the Buddhist temple without permission.

There are dogs in many temples in Tibet. Because the people who worship Buddha often feed these dogs, the dogs in the temple often follow strangers. In this case, even if there is no food to feed, don't drive them away loudly or hit them with something. Tibetan people have a proverb: don't hit the dog in the temple, it will hurt the Lama's heart.

At the same time, Tibet is a place with a wide range of religious beliefs, and many details of ordinary people's daily life are inextricably linked with religion. For example, many Tibetan elders will follow some sheep with red silks when they turn their menstruation. This kind of sheep is called "free sheep" and should not be harassed.

Respect the customs and habits of Tibetan people

Tibet is an autonomous region where ethnic minorities live mainly in Tibet. Tibetan people have their own unique customs and habits, which should be respected by people.

Tibetans sticking out their tongues is an act of humility and respect for each other, and putting their hands together indicates a blessing to the guests ...

Offering Hada is the most common and solemn etiquette of the Tibetan people. When the hospitable Tibetan host offers Hada to the guests, the guests should bow down and accept it; When entering the homes of ordinary Tibetans, generally do not step on the threshold with your feet; When addressing a person's name, you usually add "la" after the name to show your respect for the other person. If the host asks you to sit down, you can sit cross-legged. Don't straighten your legs and point your feet at people. When accepting gifts, you should pick them up with both hands.

Tibetans like to eat meat, but Tibetans don't eat horse meat, donkey meat and dog meat, and some people don't even eat fish.

Another thing to note is that you'd better not use it easily before you are sure about the meaning of a Tibetan sentence you have learned.

Treat "altitude sickness" scientifically and prepare commonly used drugs appropriately

Many tourists who come to Tibet are very worried about "altitude sickness" while longing for the mysterious trip to Tibet. For such concerns, Professor Cen Weijun, director of the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases of Alpine Diseases in Tibet, suggested that visitors to Tibet must scientifically understand and treat "altitude sickness".

Cen Weijun introduced that in areas above 3 meters above sea level, human hypoxic diseases caused by altitude hypoxia environment are collectively referred to as altitude sickness. Experts pointed out that colds, high fever and fatigue are all inducing factors of altitude sickness.

According to the length of time when people enter the plateau, the clinical symptoms of altitude sickness can be divided into acute and chronic. Acute altitude sickness usually refers to the disease caused by the hypoxia environment at high altitude when people enter the plateau or enter higher altitude areas from the plateau or within a few days. Most patients have hypoxic symptoms such as headache, dizziness, palpitation, shortness of breath, fatigue or nausea and vomiting. According to its clinical manifestations, it can be divided into three types: acute altitude sickness, acute pulmonary edema and acute altitude encephalopathy, and the latter two can coexist.

how do tourists cope with altitude sickness? Cen Weijun suggested that tourists should have a good rest and not do strenuous exercise a few days before entering Tibet. After arriving at the plateau, it is best not to lift heavy objects or run. On the day of entering Tibet, you must rest in the hotel where you are staying, and try to avoid outdoor activities such as meeting guests, banquets and visits.

At the same time, tourists can take "Xintongding", "Nuodikang Capsule" or "Hongjingtian Capsule" three days before entering Tibet. He said that these drugs have been confirmed by several aviation experiments from Chengdu to Lhasa, and they have certain effects on preventing altitude sickness.

He also suggested that people with severe colds, high fever, acute and chronic lung diseases, severe cardiovascular diseases and late pregnant women and children under 3 years old should not travel to high altitude areas.

what should tourists do if they feel unwell after entering Tibet? Experts believe that, first of all, we should rest and take oxygen; Secondly, if the patient's condition has not improved within three to four hours, he must go to the nearest big hospital for treatment immediately, and never "carry it hard", which will aggravate his condition.

In addition, experts advise tourists to prepare some commonly used drugs according to their own situation before entering Tibet, such as anti-altitude sickness drugs, anti-carsickness drugs, anti-chapped skin moisturizers, as well as regular cooling oil, mercurochrome, thermometer, alcohol cotton, band-aid and norfloxacin. We should also prepare some vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B1, and take them properly to supplement nutrition in time to prevent vitamin deficiency. Once a cold occurs in the plateau, emphysema is easy to occur, so the medicine bag should also include some cold medicines. Once symptoms such as stuffy nose, cough and fever appear, you should take medicine immediately.

choose appropriate equipment

what equipment should tourists prepare for entering Tibet? Professionals from Tibet Tourism Bureau suggest that tourists must consider the tourist routes, the climate and environment of tourist destinations, etc. when choosing tourism equipment in Tibet, and never blindly purchase tourism equipment to avoid unnecessary troubles and losses.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average elevation of about 4,5 meters, is known as the "roof of the world". The air pressure here is low, the oxygen is less than 5% of that in the plain area, the temperature difference between day and night is large, it is windy and dry, and the solar radiation and ultraviolet rays are strong. Therefore, traveling to Tibet is different from traveling to other places, and there are many things to prepare.

It is worth noting that tourists visiting Tibet should bring enough cash, because tourists can withdraw money in Lhasa through passbooks or savings cards of China Bank, China Agricultural Bank, China Construction Bank and China Postal Savings, and most other counties and townships generally cannot use credit cards.

tourists who like shooting and photographing can prepare their own cameras, binoculars and other supplies, but tourists must pay attention to keeping these devices warm and moisture-proof, otherwise, they will "crash" at critical moments.

When traveling in summer, in addition to the necessary daily necessities, individuals should pay attention to bring rainproof, ultraviolet-proof and mosquito-proof articles, and prepare a thick coat. There is a big temperature difference between day and night in summer in Tibet, and the temperature is high at noon, so we should prevent heatstroke, while the temperature is low in the morning and evening, so we should pay attention to keeping warm. Generally, clothes with different thermal properties should be worn at different altitudes, and clothes and quilts should be added and subtracted in time at different temperature intervals. The basic principle is "it should be warm but not cold". When traveling in winter, you should prepare winter clothes, winter hats, earmuffs, leather cotton shoes, leather leggings, leather gloves, scarves, etc., and skin care products that prevent ultraviolet rays and frostbite.
