What should you pay attention to when traveling to plateau?

I have traveled to Lhasa twice, so let me give you some advice based on my own experience.

Before going to the plateau, you have to drink some Rhodiola rosea a week in advance at the latest. Drinking Rhodiola rosea oral liquid is the best and most effective. Because you yourself don’t know if you have altitude sickness, drinking some rhodiola is the best way to relieve altitude sickness. After arriving at the plateau, you can buy some rhodiola rosea and soak it in water to drink. Drink a little when you have nothing to do. It is beneficial to your body. If you still have altitude sickness after drinking these, I was well prepared last year, but I still had altitude sickness and a severe headache. The locals gave me an effervescent tablet, and I just rested for a day. , so I recommend drinking this effervescent tablet several times after arriving to help you overcome altitude sickness.

?If it is your first time to go to the plateau area, I suggest not to fly, but try to take the train. The train can help you slowly adapt to the plateau area. If possible, bring an oxygen bottle with you. If an emergency occurs, you can get oxygen immediately. I have heard that some people have severe altitude sickness and will never have the chance to go back after entering Tibet.

?Don’t be too excited or jumpy when you arrive at the plateau area, because if you have just arrived at the plateau area, altitude sickness will not show up immediately, it will take a while, and excitement and confusion will not show up immediately. Jumping around will aggravate altitude sickness. Don't take a shower when you arrive at the place where you are staying. It is easy to catch a cold. If you catch a cold in the plateau area, it is life-threatening. The best thing is to stay quietly in the hotel for a day and wait until you get used to it before going out to play.

In short, when traveling to the plateau, it is best to take measures to deal with altitude sickness. Be well prepared when you get it, so that you can have a good time after you arrive.
