What should I pay attention to when traveling to Tibet for the first time?

Entering Tibet ——53 Basic Common Sense

1. What is altitude sickness? What are the symptoms of altitude sickness?

Altitude sickness is a natural physiological reaction after people reach a certain altitude, in order to adapt to the changes of air pressure difference, low oxygen content and dry air caused by altitude. When the altitude reaches about 2700 meters, altitude sickness will occur. Symptoms of altitude sickness generally include headache, shortness of breath, chest tightness, anorexia, low fever, dizziness and fatigue. Some people appear because of low oxygen content: purple lips and fingertips, lethargy, hyperactivity, insomnia and other different manifestations. Some people appear because of dry air: rough skin, chapped lips, bleeding nostrils or blood clots.

2. How to avoid or reduce altitude sickness?

Most people have mild or severe altitude sickness when they first arrive at the plateau. What kind of people generally have no rules to follow. The best way to avoid or reduce altitude sickness is to face it with a good attitude. Many reaction symptoms are caused by psychological effects or psychological effects. For example, people who are afraid of the plateau and lack the mental preparation and determination to overcome it will have more chances to have altitude sickness.

It is suggested that when you first arrive at the plateau, don't walk fast, let alone run or run, and don't do manual labor to avoid overeating and increase the burden on digestive organs. Don't drink and smoke, eat more foods rich in vitamins such as vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, keep warm and take fewer baths to avoid catching a cold and wasting energy. Don't take oxygen at first, try to adapt yourself, otherwise you may never be able to live without oxygen at the plateau.

You can take some drugs to relieve altitude sickness: Rhodiola sachalinensis (taken at least 10 days in advance), Gao Yuan 'an (taken after arriving in Tibet), American ginseng buccal tablets, Nuodikang capsules (very useful for relieving extreme fatigue), Baifuning (very useful for controlling headache caused by altitude sickness), American ginseng (very useful for relieving extreme fatigue), quick-acting Jiuxin pills (not allowed to take more), and so on. It is effective when altitude sickness symptoms appear). People with strong adaptability to altitude sickness can generally get rid of altitude sickness symptoms within 1-2 days, while those with weak adaptability need 3-7 days.

If you can adapt to the taste of butter tea, you can also drink more butter tea, which also has a certain effect on relieving altitude sickness.

3. What should I do if I have altitude sickness after I arrive in Tibet?

There are some hotels or towns with hospitals or health centers in Tibet. It is suggested to adapt to mild altitude sickness through self-regulation, and to see a doctor in severe cases. After altitude sickness, you should rest more, exercise less, insist on eating, and take some drugs to relieve altitude sickness.

Severe altitude sickness, such as edema, pulmonary edema, severe cold and other symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for infusion, oxygen inhalation and other treatment, and leave the plateau as soon as possible. Lhasa is more convenient. There are flights in and out of Lhasa every day, and you can leave by plane. Generally, altitude sickness disappears without a trace as soon as it enters the plane or reaches the plain, and there is no sequelae.

4. What are the requirements for entering Tibet? Which patients should not enter Tibet? Do you need a physical examination? Do you need exercise?

In addition to maintaining a good attitude, there is no special requirement for a healthy body when entering Tibet. People with severe respiratory, tracheal, cardiac, cardiovascular and mental diseases are not allowed to enter Tibet. Therefore, patients with severe hypertension, heart disease, bronchitis, diabetes and colds are restricted from entering Tibet. It is recommended that you have a heart and lung examination before entering Tibet to confirm whether you have the above serious diseases. In addition, don't exercise deliberately before going to Tibet. If you keep exercising, you should stop half a month before going to Tibet, because the oxygen consumption increases after exercise, which increases the burden on your heart when you are in Tibet, but it is easy to cause altitude sickness.

5. Why can't I go to Tibet when I have a cold? How do you catch a cold in Tibet?

Cold patients can easily turn into other altitude sickness, especially pulmonary edema, which is a particularly dangerous altitude sickness. If not treated in time, their lives will be in danger. For cold patients, it is recommended that you cure your cold before you leave, and don't bring cold germs into Tibet.

Generally speaking, catching a cold in Tibet is not a big problem. Because you have certain adaptability and resistance at the plateau, your body has been basically adjusted and you can be treated in time. Moreover, doctors in Tibet are very experienced in treating colds. Take some cold medicine. Once you have cold symptoms, take some common cold medicine yourself. Symptoms will disappear after 1-2 days.

6. Is it convenient to take a bath in Tibet?

Cities of a certain scale in Tibet (such as Lhasa, Shigatse, Zhangmu Town, Gyangze, Zedang, Linzhi and Naqu) have bathing places, and 5 yuan is the only place to bathe. Generally speaking, the standard rooms of star-rated hotels have separate bathrooms with hot water for bathing, and many guest houses also have public baths, which regularly supply hot water for bathing. When you first arrive in Tibet, you should try to take fewer or no baths to avoid catching a cold or causing or aggravating altitude sickness due to excessive physical exertion. After a few days of arrival, it is generally no problem to take a bath after your body adapts to the plateau climate. Because the air in Tibet is dry and evaporates quickly, and the temperature is cold at night, most people don't particularly want to take a bath in Tibet, and they don't feel uncomfortable.

7. I heard that flying into Tibet is more powerful than landing on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?

That's true. However, flying into Tibet and entering Tibet by land have their own advantages and disadvantages. When you fly to Tibet, the altitude rises from several hundred meters to more than 3,000 meters. There is no gradual adaptation process from low to high, and altitude sickness is more likely to occur. Entering Tibet by land, the altitude gradually rises. Although it is beneficial to adapt to altitude sickness, the road conditions of most routes entering Tibet are not good. In Xinjiang and Qinghai-Tibet, there are several mountain passes at an altitude of 5000 meters along the way, and there are no hospitals and first aid facilities on the road. However, the road conditions in Yunnan, Tibet and Sichuan are extremely poor, and landslides and mudslides occur frequently in the rainy season, which is prone to danger. If you are not a self-help tour and have no outdoor travel experience, I suggest you go to Tibet by plane. If you love self-help travel, but have no experience in outdoor travel, I suggest you enter Tibet from the Qinghai-Tibet line for the first time, which is relatively safe.

8. Time is tight. How to choose tourist routes in Tibet?

For those who are pressed for time, flying back and forth is more suitable for you. You can choose Lhasa for four days, or Lhasa-Gyangze-Shigatse for six days, which is a golden tourist route in Tibet. If you are not a backpacker, you can contact the travel agency in advance and arrange your trip to Tibet. If you love self-help travel and have certain travel experience, you can make a travel plan by referring to books such as "Self-help Travel to Tibet" and "Tibetan Cowhide Book", and send your plan to the online outdoor forum in advance, so that experienced netizens can give you advice.

9. Is it better to take the Sichuan-Tibet line or the Qinghai-Tibet line?

The Sichuan-Tibet line is the most beautiful route to Tibet by land, but it is also the most dangerous route. The road conditions are mainly sand or gravel, and the danger mainly comes from natural conditions. This line runs through Hengduan Mountains, where there are many mudslides in rainy season and heavy snow in winter. The seasons on the way are changeable, and the accommodation and dining conditions are very simple. It is more suitable for tourist explorers or deep tourists. Visitors to Tibet for the first time are advised not to choose this route. The Qinghai-Tibet line is the best route to Tibet. Although roads are being built every year, most of them are asphalt roads, and there is basically no danger. Accommodation and dining conditions are more complete than other routes into Tibet, but the scenery is dull and monotonous, which is not as beautiful as the natural harm of Sichuan, Tibet and Yunnan. In addition, there are several mountain passes (Kunlun Mountain Pass and Tanggula Mountain Pass) at an altitude of about 5000 meters along the way, which may cause certain altitude sickness.

10. What are the accommodation and dining conditions along the Qinghai-Tibet line?

Accommodation can be guaranteed, and there are hostels and military stations with poor conditions such as Xidatan, Wudaoliang and Tuotuo River. Basically, they can check in at any time and are rarely full. After the Tanggula Pass, you will arrive at Amdo area and hotels. Where there is a hotel, there is hot water and you can take a bath. Of course, the hostel cannot guarantee hot water. There is absolutely no problem with catering. There are many Sichuan dishes and restaurants opened by Hui people along the way. As long as it is not a particularly desolate road, you can eat hot rice or noodles in the village or the army in ten minutes, and there are also many small shops along the way. You can buy instant noodles or biscuits.

1 1, what problems should be paid attention to?

If you want to enter Tibet from the Qinghai-Tibet line, I suggest you take a train or bus to Golmud instead of taking a bus in Xining, and then take a bus from Golmud to Tibet. You can buy glucose solution in Xining or Golmud in advance (a box of five, the price is mostly a box in 2 yuan), and you can take it in time for altitude sickness on the road, and the effect is good. By car in Golmud, you can take a long-distance sleeper (directly opposite the railway station). You can also take a ride to Lhasa. Pick-up places are mostly at the gate of the Second Hostel of the Armed Police (you need to ask when you arrive), get off at the railway station and take a taxi to 7 yuan. Most of the vehicles are Toyota, Jinbei or Santana, and they are generally in good condition, but the price depends on your bargaining power. If you are lucky, maybe the driver is not willing to send you to Tibet for free.

If it is a deep self-help tour, you can also come in by truck all the way. The location of the truck is on the left side of Golmud Railway Station, where many trucks entering Tibet are parked. You can walk and play. Along the way, Sonam Dajie Protection Station, Chuma River Bridge (where Tibetan antelope can be seen) and Tuotuo River Bridge (the first bridge at the source of the Yangtze River) are all places worth visiting.

If you ride or walk on the Qinghai-Tibet line and miss your accommodation, you can go to the nearest protection station (there are five protection stations along the Qinghai-Tibet line, all the way to Tuotuo River). The most famous ones are the Sonam Street Protection Station, the first non-governmental protection station, and the road class (there is a road class every 100 km, which is responsible for road construction. If you ask for help, you will usually get a warm reception, but in class, please be careful of the house dog. It's not worth it if you accidentally get bitten. In addition, when you say goodbye, don't forget to express your due thanks to the protection station and Luban.

12. How to solve the traffic from the airport to Lhasa?

Civil aviation companies have shuttle buses between Lhasa and Gongga Airport, which are basically connected to the inbound and outbound flights on the same day. Basically, people leave when they are almost full, or when a flight ends. The departure time in Lhasa is relatively stable, and now the bus price is 27 yuan. Like other airports, there are many taxis in Lhasa Gongga Airport, which can be shared by several people or chartered by individuals. Drivers will charge by the head or by the car. Generally, every car is around 200 yuan. Remember to bargain with the driver. How much you say depends on your eloquence.

13 where can I rent a car in Lhasa? Is it safe to rent a car? What is the price?

Lhasa is a short trip. If you rent a taxi (Santana), just wave in the street and talk to the taxi driver directly. Generally, it is in the city 10 yuan. If you want to charter a car to run a long distance (generally use an off-road vehicle, such as Toyota 62 and Toyota 4500), you can go to the backpacker's dining bar (tibet-backpacker.net) diagonally opposite the Baron Snow Hotel. They can provide information about the driver's car. The car condition is generally guaranteed and the price is reasonable. If you have no travel experience, they can also help you make travel plans and chartered flight contracts. Of course, some information about renting a car can also be found in Asian hotels, Balangxue hotels and kirey hotels where travelers are concentrated, but the condition and price of the car depend on your eyesight and bargaining skills. It should be noted that all tourist vehicles must have special certificates issued by Tibet Tourism Bureau. At the same time, the car rental price in Tibet will change greatly in the off-season (165438+1October-March of the following year) and the peak season (April-65438+1October). I advise you not to be too eager for low fares. You can get what you want at a price. If the price is too low, not only can the car condition not be guaranteed, but the driver may also temporarily raise the price or charge extra fees. It is best to negotiate with the driver and sign a charter contract before departure.
