What do you need to take to travel to Xikun?

To travel to Tibet, you need to make the following preparations:

1. Document type: ID card (or passport), and bring a driver's license if you need to drive.

2. At present, UnionPay cards can basically be used in areas above the prefecture level in Tibet. If you want to go to remote places such as Ali, just take enough cash with you in Lhasa, and you may not get money on the way because of the network and so on.

3. Equipment category: mobile phone (charger), camera (battery and charger), tripod and video camera.

4. Mobile phones have signals in Lhasa and other cities, and it's hard to say where they are further off. The tripod is a good assistant to take a good picture, but it can be taken without it.

5. Clothing: cold-proof clothing, close-fitting clothing (all equipment, including tops, trousers and shoes, should be waterproof), toiletries (towels, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, shaver, etc.), raincoats, sun hats and sports shoes (the best choice for shoes is hiking shoes with hard bottoms and high tops). At the same time, I suggest you bring a pair of slippers so as not to bathe barefoot in the bathroom.

6. Sunscreen should not be cheap, and it is better to have a SPF greater than 15. Apply sunscreen for ten minutes before going out. Chemical sunscreen needs to be applied for a period of time to combine with the skin to achieve the best effect. At the same time, it is necessary to pay special attention to the lips. In Tibet, the lips are easy to crack. Be sure to prepare lipstick.

7. Many areas in Tibet are warm during the day, but it is cold in the morning and evening, so you should wear more clothes than those in the mainland. If you go to areas above 45 meters above sea level, you need to bring heavy clothes such as down jackets for winter.

8. a 5-6 liter backpack should be enough unless it is necessary.

9. Drugs: cold medicines, American ginseng buccal tablets, Danshen dripping pills, medicines for treating diarrhea and digestive AIDS. Ginseng has a certain effect on overcoming altitude sickness. You can put one tablet in your mouth when necessary, and Danshen Dripping Pills will also help you adapt to altitude sickness. But the most important thing is to remember in Tibet that no matter what you do, you must slow down, which is the best way to deal with altitude sickness.

1. Before entering Tibet, you must have a strict physical examination.

11. Good psychological quality is a panacea for overcoming altitude sickness. A large number of examples have proved that maintaining an open-minded and optimistic mood and establishing strong self-confidence can weaken the physical discomfort in the altitude sickness zone. On the contrary, anxiety, overthinking, and slight discomfort will lead to high altitude tension, but it will increase the oxygen consumption of brain tissue, thus aggravating physical discomfort and prolonging the self-healing time.
