Traveling in Tibet, it is recommended not to drive by yourself.

A few days ago, the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway set off a wave of tourism in the snowy plateau. However, due to the oxygen-deficient plateau environment, long tourist routes, dangerous road traffic and other factors in Tibet, tourists have recently encountered many safety and health problems when traveling in Tibet. The reporter learned from the Consumer Council of Guangdong Province on August 2 1 that consumer associations in eight provinces (cities, autonomous regions) such as Beijing, Tibet, Shanghai and Guangdong recently jointly issued a consumer reminder for the first time: it is safe and healthy to visit Qinghai-Tibet.

The plateau anoxic road is difficult and dangerous

Self-driving is time-consuming and laborious

16 In July, two couples in Ningbo had a car accident while driving into Tibet, resulting in 1 death and 3 missing. On July 10, more than 40 tourists from Beijing, Sichuan and other places were trapped in Namco due to vehicle failure of a tour group, and 10 people went into shock due to lack of oxygen.

To this end, the Consumers Association of eight provinces and cities reminds tourists that tourism in Tibet is safe. Tibet belongs to the plateau hypoxia environment, and the road conditions are dangerous. Driving into Tibet by yourself is time-consuming and laborious, which is a great test for your health and driving skills. Once an accident happens, it will endanger life. It is suggested that travel agencies improve their emergency response capabilities and improve emergency facilities. Tourists should try not to drive themselves when traveling in Tibet; Try not to act alone, and don't easily enter the wilderness and no man's land. In order to prevent accidents, you should take spare items such as maps, kettles, small flashlights and enough oxygen bags before going out, and fully charge your mobile phone, so as to save yourself or ask the police for help in case of accidents such as car failure on the way.
