Qinghai tourism matters needing attention

The precautions for traveling in Qinghai are to prepare first-aid medicine, don't drink too much butter tea, keep warm and cold-proof, don't swim in the holy lake, offer Hada etiquette, and avoid others touching their heads with their hands.

1, prepare emergency medicine.

Other non-capital cities in Qinghai have shorter working hours, and sometimes they may miss buying medicine. It is best to prepare some medicines in advance.

2. Buttered tea is not suitable for drinking.

Tibetan butter tea is a local specialty, but the taste is not suitable for mainlanders, so friends can drink it properly.

3, pay attention to keep warm and cold.

Qinghai belongs to a high altitude area, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, so we must prepare warm clothes. Moreover, in the area near Qinghai Lake, the temperature difference is about 10℃- 16℃, so you must wear enough clothes when you go out at night.

4. You can't swim in the holy lake.

Qinghai Lake is a sacred lake in the hearts of Tibetan Buddhists. You can't swim in it, and don't touch the local people's offerings to the sea. It is best to play around the lake clockwise according to local customs.

5, offering Hada etiquette

Offering Hada is the highest etiquette for Tibetan guests, expressing warm welcome and sincere respect to the guests. Hada is mainly white, but also light blue or light yellow, generally about 1.5 meters to 2 meters long.

6, taboo others touch the top of the head with their hands.

It is a local custom to avoid others touching their heads. When you travel there, you must observe the local customs.
