Will there be altitude sickness when I go to Lijiang? How to deal with it?

I invested in three inns in Lijiang, and my sister is managing them. I go to Lijiang several times a year. Lijiang is 2600 meters above sea level, and the highest point of Yulong Snow Mountain, the most famous scenic spot in Lijiang, is 4600 meters above sea level. Usually there is no altitude sickness in Old Town of Lijiang. Some people will have altitude sickness when they reach the top of Yulong Snow Mountain. What are the manifestations of altitude sickness? Tourists with altitude sickness will have symptoms such as headache, nausea, dyspnea, chest tightness and irritability. If altitude sickness occurs, rest, reduce activities and reduce oxygen consumption. You can also take ibuprofen to relieve headache symptoms and help you sleep. You can also take a little oxygen. If vomiting, unconsciousness, coughing up white foam sputum, and severe breathing difficulties occur, it means that the symptoms are serious, and pulmonary edema and brain edema may occur, and they should be sent to the hospital immediately. How to prevent high rebellion? After entering the plateau first, you should reduce your activities and don't run and jump. Keep warm to avoid catching a cold. It's best to go to Lijiang for a day or two to get used to it, and then go to Yulong Snow Mountain. There is a gradual adaptation process, so that the body can adapt to the altitude of 2400 meters first and then to the altitude of 4000 meters, so that it is not easy to have altitude sickness when going to Lijiang. Altitude sickness generally occurs in areas above 3000 meters above sea level, while the average altitude in Lijiang is around 2000 meters. When you travel to Lijiang, you will usually visit and stay in three ancient cities, namely Dayan Ancient Town, Baisha Ancient Town and Shuhe Ancient Town. Dayan Ancient Town is what we often call Old Town of Lijiang, with the largest population and usually the highest consumption. If you like quiet, you can choose to stay in Shuhe ancient town, or go to Baisha ancient town, the best tourist destination. There is a saying among the old population in Lijiang: Goose is the grandson, Shuhe is the son, and Baisha is the father. It means that Baisha is the oldest and the latest in research, and it is packaged. The ancient town is about 2000 meters above sea level, and there will be no high rebellion. If you want to go to the famous Yulong Snow Mountain, for many people, there may be a high reaction. Yulong Snow Mountain is more than 4000 meters above sea level, but taking a cable car to 3300 meters may cause many people to have altitude sickness. In the process of taking the cable car and playing, in order to reduce altitude sickness, we can reduce the amount of exercise, walk slowly, or talk less to reduce the consumption of oxygen. After all, playing for a while is no problem for most people. If you are worried about altitude sickness, you can also bring an oxygen bottle and take a sip when you are uncomfortable. In short, there is no need to worry about high opposition when traveling to Lijiang. Even if you go to a place farther than Lijiang, such as Shangri-La, for most people, you don't have to worry about high opposition. In fact, when traveling in Yunnan, you don't need to worry about the high rebellion in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, because there are many vegetation and abundant oxygen here. What we really need to worry about is a trip to Tibet. Don't worry! Just go to Lijiang (not the Yulong Snow Mountain Cableway) and don't worry about altitude sickness at all! I went to Lijiang twice in seven months, and the last time was on April 28th, 2065438. The first time I went to Lugu Lake (higher altitude) and Shangri-La 10, and the second time I went to Kundali and Lugu Lake 12. Because of my operation, I removed a part of my lungs five years ago, that is, my vital capacity is less than that of normal people, only about 80% of normal people. Even in such a physical condition, there is no discomfort in going to Lijiang. Of course, at the entrance of Blue Moon Valley, Yulong Snow Mountain, Shangri-La, Xiaoliangshan Tunnel and Lugu Lake, there will be a little panting at higher altitudes, so you have to walk slowly or talk less. But in Lijiang, dizziness and headache caused by altitude sickness are completely absent. Of course, perhaps for a small number of people, Lijiang is about 2400 meters above sea level, which may cause discomfort. Will there be an attack of mountain sickness? The probability should be low. If it really happens, in addition to trying to get oxygen immediately, go to the hospital quickly! Traveling to Lijiang, because Yunnan-Guizhou also belongs to the plateau area, the altitude of Lijiang is around 2600, but Lijiang will not have altitude sickness, and it is normal to have a headache occasionally, because climbing mountains, or hard work, will feel a little. Remember, don't do strenuous exercise. It's okay. I remember having been to Lijiang. From the position of the waterwheel, there is a hill behind me. From there, I climbed a viewing platform. There are many steps in the middle. I always feel out of breath when I climb these steps. I don't usually feel this way. I climbed from the first floor to the seventh floor, and I was not so breathless. So I wondered, and later I learned that Lijiang belongs to the plateau area, but it is at an altitude of 2600 meters. It won't cause serious altitude sickness, but it's normal to exercise for a long distance and lack of oxygen, but you should take a rest. If you climb a mountain in Shangri-La, or walk faster with such a lens, altitude sickness will occur. Most people will exercise vigorously or have poor immunity at an altitude of more than 2900 meters, and altitude sickness will occur. Therefore, traveling in Lijiang will not cause altitude sickness, but remember not to do too much activity to prevent dizziness. I remember a women's volleyball team or a women's football team. I specifically forgot that they played a game in Kunming, and the captain suffered from altitude sickness. Why does the captain have altitude sickness? Because of strenuous exercise, remember that strenuous exercise in plateau area is the chief culprit of altitude sickness, even if it is above 2000 meters above sea level. All right, that's it! If you have any other questions about the westward journey, please feel free to trust me personally. I will answer your question bluntly. Finally, I wish you all a happy trip to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Author's brief introduction Wang, a native of Lijiang, has been engaged in quality tourism 12 years and has a map of Yunnan in his mind. Lijiang is a small basin in Yunnan Plateau. The altitude of the city is about 2500, and the Yulong Snow Mountain is relatively high, more than 4000. In addition, there are more than 3,000 Shangri-La and about 2,700 Lugu Lake. Therefore, the general friends who come to Lijiang will not have high objections. Ordinary friends will not have altitude sickness when they come to Lijiang, but they must pay attention if they go to the snow-capped mountains: 1. On his first day in Lijiang, he tried not to do strenuous exercise and adapted to the altitude of more than 2000. Try to choose leisure travel, don't stay up late, and pay attention to rest. 2. If you have friends with heart disease, hypertension and coronary heart disease, Wang Jian suggested not to go to Yulong Snow Mountain. Just play in downtown Lijiang and visit Lugu Lake. You can eat a little rhodiola a week before departure to prevent high reaction. PS: It is available in general pharmacies. Rhodiola is the best way to prevent high treason. Because Yunnan belongs to the plateau area, the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large, so no matter what season you come to Lijiang, you should bring a thick coat and some slightly cooler clothes. In addition, the ultraviolet rays here are also relatively strong, and sunscreen and moisturizing cream are indispensable. Wang wishes everyone a pleasant journey and looks forward to your trip! If you have any questions about Yunnan tourism, you can trust me privately, or check the Yunnan travel guide book at the top of my home page, hoping to help every little friend who comes to Yunnan to play! Altitude sickness depends on a person's physical fitness, which does not necessarily mean that muscular men will not have high reflexes. The urban area of Lijiang is about 2200 meters above sea level, and altitude sickness usually occurs when it exceeds 3000 meters. However, in Lijiang, nine times out of ten, I will go to Yulong Snow Mountain. However, Yulong Snow Mountain is 5596 meters above sea level, and the maximum number of tourists can reach 4680 meters. At Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang, it's beautiful to see downtown Lijiang. This was taken on Xiangshan Mountain in Lijiang Black Dragon Pool Park, followed by Yulong Snow Mountain. It is worth mentioning that the altitude of Yulong Snow Mountain has far exceeded the height of 3000 meters, so if you have never been to the plateau before, the chances of high rebellion will be great, so it is recommended to make some preparations before going to Yulong Snow Mountain. If you are out of Yulong Snow Mountain and are not going to Shangri-La, you can directly prepare an oxygen bottle. However, if you plan to go to Shangri-La, it is recommended to eat "Rhodiola" one week in advance. This is a preventive medicine. It will only be effective if you take it one week in advance. If you really go to Van Gogh to eat, it will be invalid (invalid, invalid, no personal test, but you should eat in advance. )。 If you really don't have an oxygen bottle, but you are in Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang, then stay where you are, sit still for a while, and then consult a professional doctor. Because of strenuous exercise (don't run in Yulong Snow Mountain and other strenuous exercise. ) A cold, fever or drinking alcohol can easily lead to high reaction. Wait for your body to recover, and then go down the mountain. Don't go on walking or running down the hill. Look at personal physical conditions, travel conditions and living habits; The average elevation of the main urban area of Lijiang is about 2400. It is not recommended for tourists from areas below 500 meters to fly directly to Lijiang or go to Yulong Snow Mountain on the same day and the next day. They can fly or take the high-speed train to Kunming or Dali (the average altitude of Kunming 1894, the altitude of the main city of Dali is 2090), and then take the train or bus to Lijiang. Tourists who come to Lijiang from areas above 500 meters above sea level have relatively few altitude sickness; The physique of the above athletes is another matter; Tourists from low-altitude areas have just arrived in Lijiang and should not take a bath immediately; Lijiang has a large temperature difference in winter, so you should take enough clothes to avoid catching a cold and getting sick. It is advisable to carry bottled oxygen on Yulong Snow Mountain. If altitude sickness occurs, take more rest and avoid sweating. You can eat rhodiola. Although Yunnan is a plateau block, the elevation of scenic spots varies from place to place. Generally speaking, the real plateau climate is more than 3000 meters above sea level. Lijiang is located in the middle of Lijiang Bazi on the plateau under Yulong Snow Mountain, with an altitude of more than 2400 meters. Therefore, altitude sickness generally does not occur in Lijiang block (except for a few people who react due to climate discomfort); However, due to the complex terrain in Yunnan, the altitude of each scenic spot is quite different, so the climate between them has a slight impact; For some people with weak constitution, there may be some reactions: as long as individuals pay proper attention to adaptation, such as not exercising vigorously, relaxing properly and drinking some water, they will gradually adapt ... Hello, my friend! When I arrived in Lijiang, there was basically no altitude sickness. However, we should also pay attention to the following points: 1, you can go to Lijiang at all ages, but it is not recommended for uncles and aunts over 70 to go to the Snow Mountain. If you have tinnitus or slight dizziness while riding in Lijiang, please don't panic. This is normal, but you should see a doctor immediately after it is serious. 3. After arriving in Lijiang, you'd better go to the drugstore or supermarket to buy some glucose belts, and eat after you feel dizzy and want to vomit. 4. However, after Lijiang, don't go to the Snow Mountain on the second day of the first grade, and then go to the Snow Mountain when you get used to the altitude of about 2500 in the urban area.
