What do you need to prepare for a trip to the northwest?

When you travel, you always have to be fully prepared to have fun. After all, it is really difficult to sleep in a strange place. If Xiaohu Bamen wants to travel to the northwest, you should know your itinerary 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 jackets, in addition to the regular western-style clothes.

2. Sun protection and skin care

Northwest China has high altitude and strong ultraviolet rays. Everyone must remember to apply sunscreen every three hours. But in fact, sunscreen may not be as effective as physical sunscreen. It is suggested that you must prepare physical sun protection devices such as umbrellas, sunglasses and ice sleeves. Northwest China is also relatively dry, so be sure to bring a mask and moisturizing skin care products.

2. Medicine

Northwest China is vast, and the distance between cities is still far away. In some small towns, drugs are not ready yet. Therefore, you must be fully prepared before going out, and you must bring diarrhea medicine, digestive medicine, cold medicine, antipyretic medicine, mosquito repellent medicine and so on.

3. Means of transport

There are actually many ways to travel. 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. The road conditions in some parts of northwest China are not very good, and there are many mountain roads. If it is not the peak season of professional tourism, it is very unsafe not to take this route often. Therefore, Bian Xiao suggested that everyone should carpool or charter freely.

: Precautions

1. When traveling to Qinghai, pay attention to drink plenty of water and don't do long-distance exercise to prevent altitude sickness.

2. Northwest people are very different from inland people, especially in the southern coastal areas. Beef and mutton are the main food here. If you are not used to these foods, you can communicate with the driver or prepare some dry food yourself in advance.

There is dust everywhere in the desert, so some photographic 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. Cover the camera bag and 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 you have altitude sickness.
