What should I pay attention to when traveling to Lhasa?

Of course, the first thing to pay attention to when traveling to Lhasa is safety.

This is mainly determined by the geography and natural environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Lhasa is more than 3700 meters above sea level. From the low altitude areas in the mainland to the anoxic environment on the plateau, the body has an adaptation process. If you don't pay attention, it is easy to cause altitude sickness and even endanger your life.

In order to reduce the degree of altitude sickness, the means of transportation can choose to take the train. The speed of the train is relatively moderate compared with that of the plane. During these dozens of hours of slow climbing, the body has enough time to gradually adapt to the plateau environment.

In addition, we should prepare more drugs to prevent altitude sickness. Rhodiola has a good effect. Remember to start taking it one week before departure. Last time I went to Tibet, I ate rhodiola, and I basically didn't feel particularly uncomfortable with altitude sickness.

Also be careful not to do strenuous exercise, walk slowly and slow down activities such as climbing stairs. Don't get too excited. It's best to keep a calm mind.

After arriving in Lhasa, it's time to play. In addition to the scenic spots in Lhasa, there are actually many beautiful places around Lhasa. But the distance is a little far, so you need to go by car. If several people travel together, carpooling is a good choice.

If you want to save trouble, you can also choose to travel with a group, and you don't have to worry about eating, living and traveling. There are many travel agencies in Lhasa, and the tourist routes are relatively mature, such as Yang Zhuo Yongcuo, Namco and Linzhi, which are sent by tour groups every day.

When you go out to play in the plateau, you should pay more attention to sun protection. The ultraviolet rays in the plateau are particularly strong. When I was there, my face was almost completely wrapped up, leaving only two eyes outside.

As for eating, it's convenient. Lhasa is rich in materials and everything. I also saw hairy crabs in the vegetable market there. Most restaurants are Sichuan restaurants. If you want to try something fresh, you can also go to a Tibetan restaurant to experience it.
