A Hiker's Paradise —— "Three-day Tour of Chishui Danxia" —— Notes on Walking by Medog

Up to now, Medog, hidden in the deep mountains, has not built a road. Only when the roads are not frozen in summer and autumn can it get in touch with the outside world. As a result, Medog has become one of the most mysterious places in Tibet and has not been fully developed so far. For people who like hiking, Medog has also become a paradise for hikers and a place that many people yearn for. Bian Xiao also prepared some things for everyone to pay attention to when hiking.

May to 10 is the best time to remove ink. The rest of the time, Medog can see snow-capped mountains and ice everywhere, which is not suitable for hiking. May is the beginning of Medog's spring. At this time, Medog will also turn into the rainy season. It rains almost every night. Seeing the majestic snow-capped mountains in rainy season and walking in the jungle are also good experiences. Rhododendrons bloom every year at the most beautiful time in Medog, and they are everywhere. They are invincible and beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful scenery before. Rhododendrons are common in snow-capped mountains. At this time, if you choose to travel to Medog, you can feel the unique charm of the plateau. Therefore, hiking on the plateau, raiders are also necessary.

Certificates, cash, bank cards

Identity card and border card (required in some places)

Better bring more cash. It is more convenient to pay by WeChat in Lhasa, but the area next door is still cash. With few Tibetans and scattered towns, it is not convenient for banks to withdraw money. Most banks are postal service, Agricultural Bank, China Construction Bank, etc. In rural areas or towns, mainly agricultural banks and postal banks, other bank cards can be put away.

Suggested equipment

Sunscreen (cheap) Lhasa has a high altitude, sunscreen10; Two magic headscarves are essential, which can prevent wind and cold, and can also be used to wipe sweat. Very easy to use; Plastic bottles for drinking water on the road; Two trekking poles are necessary. You know how painful it is without this. Backpack, be sure to bring a rain cover. It is better to have a backpack system. If you carry it for a long time, you won't be tired. The size of the backpack depends on how many things you bring. It is recommended to bring as few things as possible. Recommend a 35-40 liter backpack; Yunnan Baiyao spray is used to relieve leg pain after hiking; Yunnan Baiyao powder is used to stop bleeding after leech bite; Two lighters are used to fight leeches;

A small bag of salt is used to prevent and kill leeches; Alcohol or iodophor is used to disinfect wounds; Some use plastic bags to recycle the garbage generated during hiking and pack some waterproof things; Nine times out of ten, walking in Medog wearing a raincoat will encounter rain. Ordinary gloves are enough to avoid hand pain caused by holding hiking poles for a long time; Daily pads (walking in shoes is super cool, who knows who will use them); Cold medicine, Xieliting, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, safflower oil, amoxicillin (or other anti-inflammatory drugs); Outdoor glasses are dazzling when climbing snow-capped mountains; Slippers, be sure to bring them.

Living in the house every day during hiking, you don't need to bring a tent.

There will be leeches on the road, and salt can be effectively dealt with. Be sure to bring salt.

Coming out of Songlinkou, basically the mobile phone is in a state of no signal and needs to bring cash.
