What should you pay attention to when driving to Tibet?

? With the improvement of living standards, more and more people choose to travel by car, and Tibet is the best choice for self-driving travel. It turns out that Tibet has a beautiful environment, which is rare in the world, and It has a certain degree of adventure, so what should you pay attention to when driving in Tibet? Let’s talk about my views from the following aspects.

?1. Clothing

Tibetan areas have large altitude spans, large temperature differences, high direct radiation intensity, and thin air, so you need to bring clothes for all seasons even in summer. You must bring a down jacket. Accidents or landslides often occur there, and it is normal to be stuck in place for a day or two. The wind in Tibet is also relatively strong, so it is recommended to bring a windproof jacket. The clothes inside are best to be quick-drying, because the time span along the way is long and the journey is tight, so there is no time to dry the clothes after washing. Wear thick hiking shoes as there are grasslands and mountains there. Also bring sun protection clothing.

2. Car spare parts

Before leaving, you must give the car a comprehensive maintenance, a hernia light, a bigger trunk, a spare tire and a tow rope are indispensable. The chassis must be equipped with chassis armor, and it is best to have tire pressure monitoring on all four wheels. It is best to choose a better off-road vehicle, especially if you take the Sichuan-Tibet line, because the road conditions are too complicated.

3. Medicines

Drugs are very important, especially altitude sickness medicines. Regular cold medicines and anti-diarrhea medicines should be prepared. The more complete the better. The medical situation there is very worrying. It is recommended to bring some painkillers to combat high fever, which can help relieve the pain of high fever. It is best to bring an oxygen bottle in case of high fever. When needed.

4. Food

1. You must buy more coffee at one time. It must be bottled or canned. Do not bring instant coffee. Basically, there is no place to brew it along the way. , tea too.

2. Red Bull, as everyone knows, is the best-selling drink on the Sichuan-Tibet Line and Qinghai-Tibet Line. It can be bought everywhere and can be replenished everywhere, but you should still prepare enough. Because we often have to drive for more than ten hours a day and walk thousands of kilometers, Red Bull not only has the effect of refreshing and anti-fatigue, but most importantly, it has the effect of anti-sickness. This is more effective than medicines.

3. You must prepare more canned food, sausages, braised eggs, soy sauce beef, and bread, mainly to satisfy your hunger and prepare for emergencies. It is recommended that you still eat it if you can go to a restaurant, because this can ensure physical strength.

4. You must bring chewing gum, especially chewing gum that can refresh you.

5. Daily necessities

1. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and hats are a must. 2. Soap and toiletries can save you money. Bring a small basin, the kind that can be used to wash fruits. It is very enjoyable to buy some seasonal fruits to eat on the way.

3. Wet wipes must be bought in large packages. Wet wipes are basically used to wash hands, wipe faces and clean items on the road.

?Finally, I would like to remind everyone that you should stop exercising half a month before going to Tibet. This is a taboo when going to Tibet! This increases your lung capacity, making it easy to get altitude sickness when going to Tibet! In short, the car must have good performance and good condition, and the person must be well prepared, with sun protection, anti-altitude sickness medicine and countermeasures, anti-hunger, anti-fatigue, and fun to anti-boredom.
