What is the altitude difference between Qinghai and Tibet? If you don’t have altitude sickness in Qinghai, will you not get altitude sickness in Tibet?

The average altitude of Qinghai Province is about 3,000 meters, and the average altitude of Tibet is about 4,000 meters. The difference between the two is about 1,000 meters. Altitude sickness is mainly related to the altitude difference. If the altitude difference between the two places is more than 2,000 meters, altitude sickness is likely to occur. Therefore, when traveling from Qinghai to Tibet, it still depends on the specific altitude difference between the two locations.

1. The altitude of Qinghai.

Qinghai Province is located in the northwest region of my country and includes two cities and six autonomous prefectures. The urban altitude of Xining City is about 2,500 meters, and the altitude of other counties is above 3,000 meters. The altitude of Haidong City is about 2,000 meters, making it a relatively low city in Qinghai. The altitude of Haixi City is about 3,000 meters, and the altitude of other counties and cities is above 3,600 meters. The altitude of Hainan is above 3100 meters. The altitude of Haibei urban area is approximately 3100 meters. The altitude of Huangnancheng District is about 2,500 meters, and the altitude of some county towns reaches more than 5,000 meters. The altitude of Yushu City is about 3,700 meters, and the altitude in some counties and cities reaches 5,000 meters. The altitude of the urban area of ??Goluo is about 3,700 meters, and the altitude of most county towns exceeds 4,000 meters.

2. The altitude of Tibet.

Tibet, like Qinghai, belongs to the plateau area, mainly including Lhasa, Namtso, Nyingchi, Shigatse, Shannan, Qamdo, Nagqu and Ngari. Among them, the altitude of Lhasa City is about 3,700 meters, and the altitude of some counties and cities, such as Misuo County, exceeds 4,600 meters. As the lowest altitude area in Tibet, the Linzhi area also reaches about 3,000 meters. The altitude of Shigatse is above 4,000 meters, the altitude of Namtso is above 4,700 meters, and the altitude of Naqu and Ngari is above 4,500 meters. In Shannan, the altitude of Qamdo is basically the same as that of Lhasa.

3. Altitude sickness.

Because the oxygen content in the air at high altitudes is relatively low, ordinary people will suffer from hypoxia and suffer from various illnesses. This is altitude sickness. The occurrence of altitude sickness is mainly related to the altitude difference. When people living in Xining go to Lhasa, the direct altitude difference between the two places is about 1,200 meters. People in good health will not suffer from altitude sickness. If people living in Xining City go to the Mount Everest Base Camp in Tibet and the altitude difference is more than 2,500, there is a high probability that they will suffer from altitude sickness.
