Can you catch a cold and cough on Yulong Snow Mountain? What should I pay attention to?

It is not recommended to go if you have a cold. Wait until your cold is over. For group tours, Yulong Snow Mountain usually takes a cableway to the top platform, and then tourists have to climb a short mountain road to reach the top. This road needs to be walked slowly, mainly to avoid altitude sickness, and secondly to enjoy the scenery of the snow-capped mountains slowly. Yulong Snow Mountain is 5596 meters above sea level, and most people will have altitude sickness, so we need to pay attention to the methods to prevent altitude sickness:

1) Start taking drugs to prevent altitude sickness one week in advance, such as Omo Yanglan tablets, American ginseng, glucose solution, etc.

2) When you first enter the plateau, you should move slowly, not fast. Don't walk too fast, let alone do manual work while running. It is best to have a thorough rest for half a day.

3) The temperature difference at the plateau is particularly large, and it is easy to catch a cold. Warm measures should be taken to prevent colds and respiratory infections caused by colds. Cold is one of the main causes of acute high altitude pulmonary edema.
