Do I need to wear sunglasses to go to Tibet?

Do I need to wear sunglasses to go to Tibet? It is best to wear it, especially those with polarization, ultraviolet protection and snow blindness. The air on the plateau is good, close to the sun, with strong ultraviolet rays and snow on the mountain, which is very irritating to the eyes. Ultraviolet radiation in Tibet is much higher than that in the plain. It is recommended not to enter Tibet directly. It's best to stay in Qinghai and other places for a day or two to get used to it, and then go to a higher altitude.

Due to the peculiar and diverse topography, landforms, high-altitude airflow and the influence of weather system in Tibet Plateau, a complex and diverse unique climate has been formed. Generally speaking, the climate in Tibet is characterized by severe cold in the northwest, warm and humid in the southeast, and zonal alternation from southeast to northwest, namely: subtropical zone-warm zone-temperate zone-sub-frigid zone; Wet-semi-humid-semi-arid-drought; Reflected in plants, the order is forest-shrub-meadow-grassland-desert.

The most obvious feature of Tibet's climate is the large temperature difference between day and night. The highest temperature in a day can reach 28 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature can be reduced to 10 degrees Celsius (taking August as an example). Because of the long sunshine, winter is not as cold as people think, but strong ultraviolet radiation is also a big challenge to Tibet's tourism.
