What items should I prepare for driving to Tibet and what should I pay attention to?

Go on road trip and Tibet are really a great challenge and temptation for many friends. Everyone wants to drive to Tibet and go to the plateau alone. They will encounter all kinds of difficulties along the way, making your life slightly tortuous and extraordinary. This is also a way that young people yearn for.

But self-driving in Tibet is not a journey that can be taken strictly. In particular, a person driving to Tibet will inevitably encounter many problems and obstacles. Once it is not handled well, he may have to face the result of terminating his trip. Therefore, we should make corresponding preparations in advance.

What do I need to take to drive to Tibet? 1, check and maintain the vehicle before departure.

For friends from most provinces and regions, the distance in go on road trip, Tibet is often as short as 56,000 kilometers and as long as 10000 kilometers, and it passes through many areas with complex geological and climatic conditions, and the road conditions are complex and changeable, which requires high reliability of vehicles.

Therefore, before departure, it is recommended to do a comprehensive maintenance and long-distance inspection of self-driving vehicles. Focus on checking and replacing engine oil, mechanical filter, air filter, storage battery, high-voltage bag, braking system, oil circuit, circuit, tire, etc. For example, the brake pads are worn out, so it is recommended to replace them with new ones. If the tire table is too thin or damaged or bulging, it is also recommended to replace it with a new one.

The roads into Tibet are rugged and complicated, mostly steep mountain road sections, which wear more tires and brake pads, so we must pay attention.

2. Physical examination and preparation before departure

Generally speaking, you don't need special physical preparation to travel to Tibet, but if you are worried about altitude sickness, you can start taking Rhodiola and Takahara An 10- 15 five days in advance to improve your oxygen carrying capacity and resist hyperreflexia. In addition, if there are diseases of respiratory system and cardiovascular system, it is recommended to treat them first, and then leave after the condition is stable and the symptoms basically disappear.

3. Material preparation before departure

The preparation of materials includes several aspects.

Clothing: the focus is on cold and warm clothes. The temperature difference between day and night in Tibet is very large, and so is the temperature difference at different altitudes. Therefore, it is necessary to bring warm clothes. It is recommended to wear clothes with good perspiration and warmth, such as jackets, fleece jackets, quick-drying clothes, etc., and you can also bring down jackets, but it is not recommended to bring thermal underwear and sweaters, which is not conducive to perspiration and may easily lead to colds.

Food: mainly drinking water and fast food. You can bring more instant noodles, bread, chocolate and so on. , especially foods containing sugar and high calories. In addition, you can also bring some self-heating rice. Once you find a place to eat on the way, you can solve it yourself.

Drugs: mainly commonly used drugs such as anti-hyperreflexia, cold and fever, diarrhea and carsickness. Glucose powder, Radix Isatidis granules and caffeine powder (or painkillers such as aspirin and fenbid) must be carried with you. Even if it is not used, glucose can increase blood sugar content and relieve dizziness symptoms, and painkillers such as caffeine powder can quickly relieve headache symptoms; The other is drugs for treating diarrhea, such as smecta and Xieliding. In addition to Tibetan food, the diet in the plateau area is mainly Sichuan food. The food in the plateau is not easy to cook, which is easy to cause gastroenteritis and diarrhea. In addition, if you have chronic diseases and cardiovascular diseases, you must bring common medicines and special first-aid medicines.

Vehicle emergency supplies: mainly self-rescue equipment in case of vehicle emergency, including vehicle-mounted air pump, tire repair belt, tire pressure monitoring, traction rope, connecting wire (crane), jack, etc. It is recommended to buy multifunctional power supply (lighting, inflation, electricity connection, etc.). ) For vehicles.

Documents: You must carry your ID card, driver's license and driving license with you. If you want to go to the border area, you must apply for a border card in advance, which is generally valid for 3 months. In addition, it is suggested to set up a PetroChina fuel card in advance to charge 30,000 yuan, which will make it much more convenient to refuel in Tibetan areas.

Pay attention to weather forecast and road traffic information. Tibetan areas are located in the plateau, with complex and changeable climate conditions, and often encounter rain and snow, which has a great impact on road traffic. Therefore, before departure and during the journey, we must pay more attention to the weather forecast along the way and some notices issued by the official WeChat account of relevant government departments, keep abreast of the dynamics of road construction, road closure and traffic restriction along the way, and make route planning as soon as possible.

Pay attention to cold and warmth.

In Tibetan areas, the daytime light intensity is high and the temperature is relatively high. Many people feel hot, so they take off their clothes less, and some people like sports and running around, so they sweat easily. In this case, you must wipe off the sweat stains in time, keep dry, and don't cut down your clothes at will, because it will become very cold at high altitude or after sunset, and your body will dissipate heat quickly. If you don't pay attention, you will catch a cold easily.

Be careful not to burn the midnight oil and drive too fast. The roads in Tibetan areas are very rugged and complicated, and the roads are narrow. Usually, there are always two lanes going back and forth in opposite directions. Many places are cliff winding roads, and the winding view is very bad. There are still many drivers who like to drive fast on this road, but there is no hurry to travel on the road. We must pay attention to driving slowly and avoid burning the midnight oil to prevent traffic accidents.

Pay attention to the road conditions. Western Sichuan, Linzhi, Qamdo and other areas in Tibet belong to mountainous landforms. There are many Rocky Mountains and many gravels. There are many small stones rolling down the mountain in many sections, which are very sharp. If you don't pay attention and avoid in time during driving, once the tire is pressed up, it is easy to puncture. If the speed is not controlled in time, it is likely to cause a vicious traffic accident.

Pay attention to speed limit control

In addition to the factors mentioned above, such as natural climate and pavement gravel, it is also necessary to control the driving speed. Most sections of the Sichuan-Tibet line have speed limits, which usually require tens or hundreds of kilometers and at least several hours of driving time. Each checkpoint will send you a speed limit ticket and check it at the next checkpoint. Once you arrive in advance, your driver's license will be deducted, which will punish you for being in place and bring you unnecessary time waste. Therefore, we must not be impulsive.

Be careful not to carry controlled contraband.

Such articles include but are not limited to controlled knives, petrol cans, fireworks, etc. If you want to bring a gas tank to cook for yourself, you'd better not bring it at this time. Then, if your original car doesn't have a roof luggage post and you want to install the roof luggage post or suitcase yourself, you need to be cautious. Some places will find it, so you can open it. In addition, if you bring a drone into Tibet to play aerial photography, you should also pay attention to avoiding sensitive areas.

Pay attention to protecting personal property. Although the security conditions in Tibetan areas are generally good, we should also pay attention to the custody of personal valuables. Don't put them alone in the car, let alone in a conspicuous position, so as not to be tempted.

When parking at night, it is best to park in the hotel parking lot or on both sides of the road, not in remote places.

Be careful not to give people a lift at will. On the way to Tibet by car, you will often meet some "hikers" or locals waving for a ride. In this case, especially when you are alone, be more careful. After all, you have no idea who the other person is. Once you meet someone with bad moral quality, you will get yourself into trouble.
