I want to travel to Nyingchi, Ngari, Shigatse and Shannan areas in Tibet at the end of September. Are there any safety matters that I need to pay attention to?

1. Let’s talk about clothes first: September is about 20 degrees Celsius, with the lowest temperature being 14 degrees Celsius, which is not hot. However, the temperature difference between day and night is large here, which is relatively better than in winter, but it is windy at night. It’s still a bit cool, and it’s still very hot when the sun shines during the day. Especially in Lhasa, ultraviolet rays are very strong. It is recommended to wear long-sleeved pants and long-sleeved jackets. There is a big temperature difference between day and night in Tibet, so be sure to add layers of clothing to avoid catching a cold.

2. Prevent altitude sickness:

1) It is recommended to bring glucose, rhodiola, etc. to prevent altitude sickness

2) Just get off the train Usually you don’t feel anything when you arrive in Lhasa and think it’s normal. At this time, many people think they’re running or jumping, which is actually wrong. Altitude sickness usually starts after arriving in Lhasa for a period of time or the next day, so if you just arrived Remember not to run, jump, get too excited, don't shout, drink more water, and don't smoke or drink.

You can drink some rhodiola rosea, glucose, etc. in moderation. Also remember not to take a shower when you first arrive in Tibet!

3) If you are entering Tibet for the first time and are really worried about altitude sickness, you can start drinking rhodiola a week in advance. This is what many friends have tried and the effect is very good. You only need to soak about 20~30g at a time. It is very effective in improving physical fitness, strengthening cardiovascular system and alleviating altitude sickness.

3. UV rays in Tibet are very strong, so we must not take it lightly, especially Lhasa, which has a high altitude and is sometimes a "sunlight city". Be careful to bring sunscreen to protect your skin, as well as sunglasses and a sun hat. It's best to bring all of these, otherwise your skin may not be able to bear it and your eyes may feel uncomfortable at the end of the day.

4. When you go to Tibet, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, pay attention to ethnic unity, and respect the Buddha statues. You cannot touch them with your hands. In addition, you cannot touch the heads of Tibetan people. This is a taboo! When you go to Tibet, you must follow Tibetan customs, such as drinking butter tea. If you go to a Tibetan home, the host will definitely pour butter tea and hand it to you with both hands. You must take it with both hands, never with one hand
