: Other preventive measures

1. Li sake in Qinghai Tibetan area is quite intoxicating. It is wise to drink two-thirds of the usual capacity.

2. Tibetan butter tea and other foods are not suitable for the stomachs of mainlanders, so you can't eat more. There is a local custom that the empty butter tea bowl for entertaining guests must be refilled. Therefore, it is suggested that the bowl of butter tea should always be two-thirds full, which will not hurt the feelings of Tibetans, but also protect themselves. It is recommended to carry antidiarrheal drugs such as berberine.

Muslims of all ethnic groups live in many places in Qinghai. When eating in any Muslim restaurant, be careful not to bring in foreign food other than beef and mutton, don't drink alcohol and try not to waste food. The Muslim concept of halal is not only a ban on pork, but also many taboos. Unconsciously careful, so as not to hurt religious feelings.

4. Except Xining and Hehuang, most areas in Qinghai are plateau desert areas. Self-drivers should drive carefully, rent a car or take a ride, and try to choose a car with good car condition and stable and experienced drivers. If you travel in the rainy season, the traffic along the route may be temporarily interrupted by landslides. Pay attention to the weather and road news when you leave.

5. It is suggested that travelers entering the plateau take some measures to prevent altitude sickness. Take rhodiola properly or drink plenty of water. When you first arrive at the plateau, don't walk or run fast, avoid overeating, and try not to smoke or drink.

6. Sunhat, sunglasses, lipstick, long-sleeved clothes and sunscreen are all necessary for entering the plateau.

Personally, I think the scenery in the northwest is very distinctive, especially the sandstorm. It is suggested that girls buy a silk scarf. The gourmet night market in the northwest is unique, and friends who like the scenery and environment there can go and have a look.
