What precautions should I prepare for traveling to the northwest?

When you travel, you always have to be fully prepared to have fun. After all, sleeping in a strange place is really uncomfortable. If Xiaohubamen is going to play in the northwest, you should also know the matters needing attention in your trip in advance.

Prepare what?

1 clothes

In fact, the temperature in northwest China has changed a lot. Even in summer, for example, the temperature in most parts of Qinghai Province is still very low in the morning and evening. So when you go to play, you should prepare some warm clothes, such as jackets or fleece coats, in addition to the conventional western clothes.

2. Sun protection and skin care

The altitude in the northwest is relatively high, and the ultraviolet rays are relatively strong, so everyone must remember to apply sunscreen, and remember to apply it once every three hours. But in fact, the effect of applying sunscreen may not be as good as that of physical sunscreen. I suggest that you must prepare physical sun protection equipment such as umbrellas, sunglasses and ice sleeves. The temperature in the northwest is also dry, so you must bring masks and moisturizing skin care products.

2. medicine

Northwest China is vast, and the distance between cities is still far away. In some towns, medicines are not complete, so you must make adequate preparations yourself before going out, and you must bring antidiarrheal drugs, digestion drugs, cold medicines, antipyretic drugs and anti-mosquito drugs.

3. Transportation facilities

As for the way to travel, there are actually many kinds. If you are not an old driver and are familiar with the road conditions in the northwest, Bian Xiao does not recommend you to drive by yourself. Some roads in the northwest are not very good, and there are many mountain roads. If it's not the peak season for professional tourism, it's very unsafe not to travel to and from this line frequently. Therefore, Bian Xiao suggested that everyone carpool or charter a car to travel freely.

Matters needing attention

1. Pay attention to drink plenty of water when traveling to Qinghai, and don't exercise long distances to prevent altitude sickness.

2. There are great differences between the people in the northwest and the mainland, especially in the southern coastal areas. Beef and mutton are the main products here. If you are not used to these foods, you can communicate with the driver or prepare some dry food in advance.

There is dust everywhere in the desert, so some camera equipment such as your camera must be prepared for dust prevention. The best way is to shorten the lens, then seal it in a plastic bag and put it in the camera bag for later use. It is best to have a camera bag with a cover, and it is best to change plastic bags frequently.

When buying souvenirs and specialties, remember to ask the price in advance and negotiate the price before buying.

If you are afraid of altitude sickness, you should take medicine in advance, not after altitude sickness.
