Why don't you take a bath for three days on the Sichuan-Tibet line?

20 16 to Tibet by car.

I have a better understanding of the problem of not taking a bath in the early days of entering Tibet.

Because I went to the plateau for the first time, I was in a plateau hypoxia environment. Taking a bath will speed up blood circulation and require more oxygen.

This makes altitude sickness easier. In addition, because the temperature in Tibet is low after bathing at night, it is easy to catch a cold.

An old driver in the same trade, when crossing the Tanggula Pass, did not resist and thought there was nothing wrong. I took a bath in Tuotuo River, and as a result, there was obvious resistance in the middle of the night. I didn't recover until Lhasa.

Therefore, it is reasonable not to take a shower at the beginning of entering Tibet.
