What should a person who has never been far away pay attention to when going to Tibet alone?

Traveling to Tibet is different from traveling to other places, and there are many things to pay attention to, such as natural climate, humanities and customs, so you must make preparations in advance before entering Tibet.

1. When you first arrive in Tibet, you'd better not rush to other places to play. You'd better have a rest first and play around the city to adapt yourself to the plateau environment. Generally speaking, it is recommended not to take a bath and go to bed early on the day of arrival. The plateau is relatively dry, and many people are prone to nosebleeds after coming to Tibet. You can ask a doctor to prescribe some ointment to lubricate the nasal cavity. In addition, you should drink more water and eat light food first. Before going to bed, you can put a washbasin of water in the bedroom. The air is not so dry, which helps to alleviate the high reaction.

2. The most feared thing about traveling in Tibet is altitude sickness, so everyone will want to do some exercise before going to Tibet. In fact, altitude sickness is not necessarily related to physical strength, but to the adaptability and adjustment ability of the body, and there is no need to exercise deliberately.

3. If you have a cold, you can't go to Tibet. When you have a cold, your lungs and trachea will become inflamed. At this time, the human body's resistance is poor, and the plateau is dry, so the cold will easily worsen. Then the common cold will become pneumonia, pulmonary edema or bronchitis, and everyone is unwilling to bear such consequences. If you have a cold, cure it before you start. A slight cold is generally no problem.

4. During the whole year, April to October is the best season in Tibet, which is warm and comfortable but not hot. But this time is also the peak season for tourism in Tibet. There are many tourists, and the consumption of related industries is also rising, and your tourism consumption expenditure is also high. From November to April of the following year, although it is cold, it is sunny and warm during the day. There are few tourists at this time, and what you see is the authentic Tibetan customs. July and August is the rainy season in Tibet, but it usually rains at night sometimes, and that time is also the most crowded time.

5. Tibet Plateau is relatively dry, with less water vapor and clouds in the atmosphere, and less reflection on ultraviolet rays, so there are more ultraviolet rays reaching the ground. When traveling outdoors in Tibet, you should pay attention to sun protection. In addition to wearing long trousers, a sun hat, sunglasses and a mask or mask, you should also add sunscreen with a high sun protection index to your skin. Also, drink plenty of water. Water loss is more serious in plateau activities.
