What preparations should I make to travel to the northwest in August?

The first is sunscreen, which can be used in many places. It is recommended to bring something with a higher SPF. In addition, hats and ultraviolet umbrellas can also be prepared.

Because of the long distance from the scenic spots and the long time in the car, preparing a headrest can effectively help fix the head, relieve carsickness and sleep more comfortably in the car.

You must bring something to prove your identity when traveling. In addition, if you have a student ID card, an old-age ID card or a military officer's ID card, there will be discount tickets in some scenic spots. If you are a reporter or a teacher, you can also bring valid documents. Some scenic spots will offer targeted discounts.

Ultraviolet rays are very strong, and there are more sunny days. When the sun is big, especially at noon, you really can't open your eyes at all, and it will hurt. Sunglasses are also good photo props, which can make people relax and are cool.

Plateau medicine and cold medicine must be brought, and they must be quick-acting. Other simple first-aid drugs such as throat lozenges, anti-inflammatory drugs, gunpowder, mosquito repellent and Yunnan Baiyao essential oil can be prepared.

If you are a photographer and bring a SLR, be sure to bring lens paper and a hair dryer. If you plan to enter the desert, you can bring a camera protective cover, otherwise the viewfinder and CMOS are easy to get dusty, and the protective cover can also be used in sandstorms.

A pair of good shoes can make you get twice the result with half the effort. It is best to wear comfortable waterproof and non-slip shoes. If it's winter, it's best to keep warm. In addition, many hotels in Qinghai don't provide slippers, so you'd better bring your own slippers and use them by the lake.

No matter which season, you can't forget to keep out the cold. Even in the midsummer season from July to August, because of a rain, the temperature may drop below 10 degrees. Cold-proof and warm coats are essential, and those who are afraid of cold can even bring down jackets. If possible, you can take a raincoat.

The weather is changeable, and it may turn from sunny to rainy. Sun umbrella is a better choice, and it is better to be convenient.

Sandstorms are relatively large, and sometimes they blow. For these sensitive children's shoes, masks can be prepared in advance to prevent sandstorms.

Most of the travel time is on the road, so it is generally not convenient to eat and drink on the road. You can bring your own thermos cup and put hot water in the service area or restaurant. (You can also prepare a box of mineral water in the car in advance. )

Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang (five northwestern provinces) and parts of Inner Mongolia. The total area is about one-third of the country; The total population accounts for about a quarter of the country. Xinjiang has a superior geographical position, abundant natural resources and great development potential. It is the key project of the country's western development and the starting point of the Silk Road in the Central Plains. There are many cultural relics here, which is a good place for China to explore the past and ask about the present.
