For example, people who are afraid of plateaus and lack mental preparation and determination to overcome plateaus have more chances of experiencing altitude sickness. 1) It is recommended that when you first arrive in the plateau area, you should not walk fast, let alone run or run, nor do physical labor. You should not overeat to avoid increasing the burden on the digestive organs. Do not drink or smoke. Eat more vegetables, fruits and other vitamin-rich foods. Eat food, drink an appropriate amount of water, keep warm, and take less baths to avoid catching colds and consuming energy.

What should I do if I get altitude sickness after arriving in Tibet? Generally, hotels or towns of a certain size in Tibet have hospitals or health centers. For mild altitude sickness, it is recommended to adapt to it through self-adjustment. For severe cases, you can see a doctor. After altitude sickness occurs, you should rest more, exercise less, and keep eating. You can take some medicines to alleviate altitude sickness. Severe altitude sickness, such as symptoms such as edema, pulmonary edema, severe cold, etc., is recommended to go to the hospital for infusion, oxygen inhalation and other treatments, and to leave the plateau as soon as possible. It is more convenient to stay in Lhasa. There are flights in and out of Lhasa every day. You can take flights After leaving, altitude sickness generally disappears without a trace as soon as you enter the plane or arrive on the plains, and there are no sequelae. 4. What are the requirements for entering Tibet? Which patients should not go to Tibet? Do you need a physical examination? Need some exercise? In addition to maintaining a good attitude when entering Tibet, there are no special requirements for a healthy body. People with severe respiratory, tracheal, heart, cardiovascular, and mental diseases should not enter Tibet. Therefore, people with severe high blood pressure, heart disease, Patients with (bronchitis), diabetes, and colds are restricted from entering Tibet. It is recommended that you have a cardiopulmonary examination before entering Tibet to confirm whether you suffer from any of the above serious diseases. In addition, do not deliberately exercise before going to Tibet. If you have been exercising in normal times, you should also stop half a month before going to Tibet, because the body after exercise will consume more oxygen and increase the heart rate when you are in Tibet. The burden may cause altitude sickness. 5. Why can’t you go to Tibet if you have a cold? What to do if you catch a cold in Tibet? Because cold patients' own body functions are destroyed, disease resistance is weakened, and their own resistance load is increased. Cold patients who go to Tibet with a severe cold can easily develop other altitude sickness, especially pulmonary edema, a particularly dangerous altitude sickness. If not treated in time, it can be life-threatening. For cold patients, it is recommended that you cure your cold before going to Tibet and do not bring cold germs into Tibet. Colds in Tibet are generally not a big problem, because they have already had a certain degree of adaptability and resistance to the plateau, and the body has basically adjusted, so timely treatment is enough. Moreover, Tibetan doctors are very experienced in treating colds. Carry some cold medicine with you. Once you have symptoms of a cold, take some common cold medicines by yourself. The symptoms will usually disappear in 1-2 days. 6. Is it convenient to take a bath in Tibet? Cities of a certain size in Tibet (such as Lhasa, Shigatse, Zhangmu Town, Gyantse, Zedang, Linzhi, Nagqu) have bathing places, and each shower costs 5 yuan.

Generally, standard rooms in star-rated hotels have independent bathrooms with hot water for bathing. Many guest houses also have public baths, with hot water supplied regularly, making bathing more convenient. When you first arrive in Tibet, try to take as little or no baths as possible to avoid catching a cold or causing or aggravating altitude sickness due to excessive physical exertion in bathing. After a few days after arrival, after your body adapts to the plateau climate, bathing is generally no problem. Because the air in Tibet is dry, evaporates quickly, and the temperature is cold at night, people generally don’t particularly want to take a bath in Tibet, and they don’t feel uncomfortable. 7. I heard that altitude sickness is more severe when entering Tibet by plane than by land? Indeed. However, there are pros and cons to traveling to Tibet by air and traveling by land. When you fly into Tibet, the altitude suddenly rises from a few hundred meters to more than 3,000 meters. Without a gradual adaptation process from low to high, altitude sickness is more likely to occur. When entering Tibet by land, the altitude gradually increases. Although it is beneficial to adapt to altitude sickness, the road conditions on most routes into Tibet are not very good. Xinjiang and Qinghai have to climb several mountain passes 5,000 meters above sea level along the way. There are no hospitals or emergency treatment facilities, and the road conditions in Yunnan-Tibet and Sichuan-Tibet are extremely poor. Landslides and mudslides are frequent during the rainy season, making them prone to danger. If you are not a self-guided traveler and have no experience in outdoor travel, it is recommended that you enter Tibet by air. If you love self-guided travel but have no experience in outdoor travel, it is recommended that you enter Tibet via the Qinghai-Tibet line for the first time, which is relatively safer. 8. Time is very tight, how do I choose a Tibet travel route? For those who are tight on time, a round-trip flight is more suitable for you. You can choose to spend four days in Lhasa or choose the six-day tour of Lhasa-Gyantse-Shigatse, Tibet's golden tourist route. If you are not a backpacker, you can contact the travel agency in advance and let the travel agency arrange your trip to Tibet. If you love self-guided travel and have some travel experience, you can refer to books such as "Self-guided Travel to Tibet" and "Tibetan Oxhide Book" to make travel plans. 9. Is it better to enter Tibet via the Sichuan-Tibet Line or the Qinghai-Tibet Line? The Sichuan-Tibet Line is the most scenic route into Tibet by land, but it is also the most dangerous. The road conditions are basically gravel or gravel roads. The danger mainly comes from natural conditions. This line crosses the Hengduan Mountains and is prone to mudslides in the rainy season. , there is heavy snow in the winter and the mountains are blocked. The four seasons change along the way, and the accommodation and dining conditions are very simple. It is more suitable for travel adventurers or in-depth travel enthusiasts. It is recommended that tourists entering Tibet for the first time not choose this route. The Qinghai-Tibet Line is the route with the best road conditions into Tibet. Although the road is constantly being repaired every year, most of the road sections are asphalt roads and there is basically no danger. The accommodation and catering conditions are better than other routes into Tibet, but the scenery It is relatively plain and monotonous, not as beautiful as the beautiful and dangerous scenery of Sichuan-Tibet and Yunnan-Tibet, and along the way you have to climb several mountain passes (Kunlun Pass, Tanggula Pass) at an altitude of about 5,000 meters, which may cause some altitude sickness, so it is suitable for the first time entering Tibet. Tourists who don’t want to fly. 10. What are the accommodation and dining conditions along the Qinghai-Tibet Line? Accommodation is guaranteed. There are guest houses and military depots in places with poor conditions such as Xidatan, Wudaoliang, and Tuotuohe. Basically, you can stay as you go, and they are rarely full. After passing the Tanggula Pass and arriving in the Amdo area, there are also hotels. Where there are hotels, there is hot water and you can take a bath. Of course, the guest house cannot guarantee hot water. There is absolutely no problem with dining. There are many Sichuan restaurants and restaurants opened by the Muslims along the way. As long as it is not a particularly desolate road, it is basically located in villages or military areas. You can have hot rice or noodles in ten minutes, and there are also small shops along the way. There are also many where you can buy instant noodles or biscuits. 11. What are the issues that need to be paid attention to when taking the Qinghai-Tibet Line? If you want to enter Tibet from the Qinghai-Tibet Line, it is recommended that you do not take a car directly in Xining, but take a train or bus to Golmud, and then take a ride from Golmud into Tibet. You can buy glucose solution (a box of five bottles) in Xining or Golmud in advance. (mostly priced at 2 yuan per box), you can take it in time if you experience altitude sickness on the road, and it has good effects. To take a ride in Golmud, you can take the long-distance sleeper shuttle bus (opposite the train station). You can also find hitchhiking to Lhasa. Most hitchhiking places are at the entrance of the Second Armed Police Guest House (you need to ask when you arrive). You can get off at the train station and take a taxi for 7 yuan. Most of the vehicles are Toyota, Jinbei or Santana, and they are generally in good condition, but the price depends on your negotiating skills.

The place where you take the truck is on the left side of the Golmud Railway Station. There are many trucks entering Tibet parked there. You can play while walking and visit the Sonamdajie Protection Station along the way. , Chuma River Bridge (where you can see Tibetan antelopes), and Tuotuo River Bridge (the first bridge at the source of the Yangtze River) are all worth stopping at. If you are cycling or hiking along the Qinghai-Tibet Line and miss the food and accommodation spots, you can go to the nearest conservation station (there are five conservation stations along the Qinghai-Tibet Line, ending at the Tuotuo River. The most famous one is Suonandajie Conservation Station, The first private conservation station), Daoban (there is a Daoban every 100 kilometers or so, responsible for road construction and maintenance), if you ask for help, you will generally receive warm hospitality, but in Daoban, please be careful of the guard dog. It's not worth it if you accidentally get bitten. In addition, when saying goodbye, don’t forget to express due gratitude to the protection station and Taoist class.
