What should you pay attention to when traveling to Tibet? How to overcome altitude sickness?

Going to Tibet is very simple and doesn’t require much attention. As long as you want to go, it’s no problem.

1. You can take a shower, it’s okay at any time, but wash up and get out quickly. Why? Because bathing will speed up blood circulation and increase oxygen demand, and the oxygen content of plateau air is low, bathing for a long time will cause dizziness and chest tightness, so it is not that you cannot wash but you need to be careful, especially at altitudes above 4,000.

2. When going to plateau, people who exercise regularly are more hypoxic than people who do not exercise very much. There is not much reason to explain.

3. Don’t act too hastily on the plateau. Take everything slowly. When walking, take one step at home and two steps on the plateau. Adjust your breathing and walk slower. You will know the benefits after you go there. If you look at Tibetans, you rarely see them running around, and this is the reason why.

4. The plane and train are all the way to Lhasa. Altitude sickness is not serious. The altitude of Lhasa is about 3300. Altitude sickness is not big. It doesn’t matter. It’s really tiring to hike and bike. I don’t think you can do it either. Mainly by self-driving, because you will get off the car to take photos and have fun at the scenic spots you drive to. Every pass is a scenic spot, and each pass is above 4000 meters above sea level. After two or three passes, you probably won’t have the desire to get off the car. Yes, hehehe.

5. In terms of luggage, food, warm clothes (just more sweaters than those in plain areas, unless you are going camping or going from November to April next year, you need better warm clothes ), oxygen tanks are available in many pharmacies. A small tank costs more than ten yuan, and two are enough.

6. Refuel in time and fill up when there is a gas station. First, you don’t know how far the next gas station is. Second, you don’t know whether you can get gas at the next gas station. Third, you don’t know what the conditions are on the road. It's important to keep it full. The conditions for entering Tibet are much better now, but we must be prepared just in case.

Going to Tibet is a hard thing. Try to prepare as much as possible, but it is not scary. Relax, have fun, and be fully prepared, just in case. This is given by a person who has been to Tibet many times. advice.
