What should I pay attention to when traveling to Qinghai?

Notes on Qinghai tourism 1. Most of Qinghai is dry. In order to enhance the resistance, we should strengthen the intake of vegetables and fruits and avoid eating mutton without restraint. Once it gets angry, it will affect its physical strength and health. Because the output of local vegetables and fruits is not much, it is recommended to bring synthetic vitamins, especially vitamin C.

2. Li Qing wine in Qinghai Tibetan area is quite intoxicating, so it is advisable to drink two-thirds of the usual capacity.

3. Tibetan butter tea and other foods are not suitable for mainlanders' stomachs, so you can't eat more. There is a local custom that an empty butter tea bowl will be refilled. Therefore, it is suggested to always keep the bowl two-thirds full, so as not to hurt the feelings of Tibetans and protect themselves. It is recommended to carry antidiarrheal drugs such as berberine.

Mosques generally don't welcome non-Muslims to visit during worship time, but Muslim worship is really worth seeing. You should ask permission before you can visit and take pictures. The best way is to find a Muslim to take you in, and then he will arrange for you to watch.

5. Celestial burial in Tibetan areas is not welcome to watch. It will cause a lot of trouble if you take pictures or photography, so you must get the permission of your family to see it, but try not to take pictures.

6. If you live in a Tibetan tent, you must pay attention to moisture. There should be a moisture barrier between the bed and the ground. If there is no professional damp-proof pad, plastic sheets can be used instead.

7. If you live in a Muslim family, don't enter the kitchen without permission. Muslim kitchens generally do not welcome non-Muslims to visit, and do not enter the owner's room, especially the hostess's room. Don't touch religious objects. In Muslim families, the diet should meet halal standards.

8. There are many lawless people selling Tibetan knives near Ta 'er Temple. They often gather in front of the temple to intimidate tourists into buying their knives and other items. When you meet these people, don't show any interest in their goods, don't stop to watch, and go to the shops on both sides of the street to buy what you need. This situation also exists in some other tourist spots, which requires special care.

9. It is recommended to buy enough film, batteries, food, medicines and other reserves before leaving for other scenic spots. Few other cities in Qinghai have a complete supply of this commodity, and even if there is one, it is very expensive.

10. In some inaccessible areas, there are few buses, so you can consider taking a ride. Sometimes taking a ride, cigarettes can solve the problem more than money. Pay attention to find more reliable vehicles such as military vehicles and postal vehicles. Matters needing attention in plateau tourism The area above 3000 meters above sea level is called plateau area. It is characterized by low air pressure and low oxygen concentration in the air, which easily leads to hypoxia in the human body, thus causing altitude sickness. The common symptoms of altitude sickness are vomiting, tinnitus, headache, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, fever and drowsiness. In severe cases, people will have insensitivity, emotional uncertainty, hyperactivity, memory loss, hearing, vision, smell, taste abnormalities, hallucinations and so on. Edema, shock or spasm may also occur.

First, the common plateau tourism matters needing attention:

Drink plenty of water: due to the low humidity of the plateau air, the human body is easy to dehydrate, and the increase of hemoglobin leads to the increase of blood viscosity, which is easy to form thrombosis and cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. Therefore, keep a small amount of water.

Quit smoking: The affinity of carbon monoxide and hemoglobin produced by cigarettes is 250 to 300 times that of oxygen, and heavy smoking will obviously aggravate altitude sickness.

Learn the correct breathing method: Exercise tests show that abdominal breathing is more regular and rhythmic than chest breathing. When walking or climbing, visitors can put their hands on their hips, so that the muscles of the arms, clavicle, scapula and trunk above the waist can assist breathing, so as to increase the activity of the respiratory system.

When you first arrive at the plateau, you should avoid strenuous activities and emotional excitement, and avoid taking a hot bath, so as not to accelerate metabolism, aggravate hypoxia and lead to pulmonary edema. Adhere to the dietary principle of high sugar, high plant protein and low fat. Sugar can provide heat quickly, make people adapt to high-intensity activities and increase the exchange ventilation of oxygen. Too much fat and animal protein will aggravate altitude sickness. Altitude sickness can easily lead to insomnia. Diazepam tablets can be taken properly to ensure adequate sleep.

In addition, people under 16 and over 60 years old, people with anemia, diabetes, serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic lung diseases, mental patients and pregnant women are not suitable for traveling in the plateau.

Second, some common sense about altitude sickness:

1. For patients with altitude sickness, oxygen supply and altitude reduction are the most effective emergency treatment methods. If there is shock, it should be given priority, and pay attention to complications such as hypothermia.

2. The patient should be moved to a windless place, and immediately stay in bed, pay attention to keep warm, prevent upper respiratory tract infection, and prohibit drinking plenty of water.

If the pain is severe, you can take painkillers to relieve the pain. If you still can't adapt, you should lower the height until the patient feels comfortable or the symptoms are obviously relieved. Generally speaking, patients with altitude sickness can be cured after falling to the ground. Even so, critically ill patients still need to be sent to hospital for treatment.

Third, small stickers:

1. What should I do if I can't breathe when I sleep at night on the plateau?

High altitude hypoxia affects ventilation, and people often feel shortness of breath, panting and restless sleep. This situation is relatively normal. It is suggested that you can try to hold your head up or sit and sleep at night in plateau areas, which can make your breathing smoother.

2. Will you take oxygen when you get to the plateau?

First of all, it is not recommended for newcomers to the plateau to rush to take oxygen, because this will affect the timely establishment of human adaptability to altitude and climatic conditions at the plateau. Of course, this applies to people with less altitude sickness. If the proportion of altitude sickness is serious and the body is weak, it is recommended to take oxygen in time, especially at night, because it will help to relieve the symptoms of altitude sickness, get a good rest and maintain physical strength.

3. How to raise plateau skin?

It is recommended to use skin care products with high sun protection index in plateau areas, especially the nose, cheekbones and ear roots of the face, because the skin in these parts is tender and tender, and it is easier to get sunburned and fall off. Sunscreen should not be cheap, and SPF greater than 15 is better. Sunscreen needs to be applied for a period of time to combine with the skin and achieve the best effect. Sweating is inevitable during travel. It is best to apply it every hour or two. It is necessary to wear a hat, but don't wear it too tightly, so it is easy to grow peas on your forehead. At the same time, it is the lips that need special attention. In Tibet, lips crack easily. Be sure to prepare lipstick.

In addition, maintaining peace of mind is conducive to maintaining your skin; Even if the conditions are sometimes difficult, eat more fruits and vegetables. Another remedy to keep your skin good is to wash your face before going to bed at night, and it is best not to wash your face when you get up in the morning. /kloc-For long-term outdoor activities over 0/0 days, it is best not to wash your face without good sanitary conditions. It usually protects your skin. Of course, it would be better to apply some ghee. It's a little dirty, but I'm afraid it will peel off if it's washed too clean.

4. Is it ok to wear contact lenses on the plateau?

The most important thing to pay attention to when wearing contact lenses is cleanliness. If the plateau is windy and dusty, it is recommended not to wear it. But wearing contact lenses has little to do with altitude.

5. Is it normal to feel fever and deafness when you first arrive at the plateau?

Because people's blood pressure in the plateau will be higher than that in the plain area, it is normal for the body to feel hot. Generally, the body temperature in plateau area will be 0.5℃ to 1℃ higher than the normal body temperature, but if there is fever,

At the same time, accompanied by other physical discomfort, you should go to the local hospital for examination in time. If the fever is caused by a cold, the patient should be evacuated to a lower altitude area for treatment. Deafness is normal in plateau areas, which is due to hearing loss caused by lack of oxygen.

6. Can I drink on the plateau?

It is recommended not to drink alcohol in plateau areas, especially in middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old, because drinking alcohol will increase the load on people's hearts and blood vessels, often aggravate altitude sickness, and even induce the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage.

Fourth, other health problems.

1, keep warm and wear loose and warm clothes when traveling. There is a great temperature difference between day and night in Tibet, and the temperature is low in the morning and evening. Generally, every time the altitude rises 1000m, the temperature drops by 6℃, so be sure to keep warm. Even in summer, you must prepare a coat or sweater. It is very cold to stay in the dark temple hall for a long time. Besides, it is also important to keep your body dry.

2. Strong sunlight and ultraviolet rays on the plateau will hurt eyes. You should prepare a sun hat and sunglasses. There are many ice and snow environments in Tibet, and the ice and snow ground and water surface will reflect strong sunlight. On a sunny day, exposing your eyes directly to this environment for several hours will lead to snow. Therefore, you must wear snow goggles, or at least good sunglasses that can filter ultraviolet rays, when you are in the snow line and above. Snow can cause temporary blindness, with mild symptoms such as sensitivity to light, blinking, sand in eyes, pain, redness and tears. In case of snow, wash your eyes with eye drops, go to the dark or cover your eyes with an eye mask and ice with a cold towel to reduce the use of your eyes and try to rest. Good rest and soothing environment can relieve the symptoms of snow in time, but it usually takes 5 ~ 7 days to fully recover.

3. Bring some nasal ointment and throat lozenges to relieve the discomfort of nose and throat caused by dry mouth.

4. It is suggested that you consider taking the following drugs: Jin Shi 'erkang, American ginseng buccal tablets, aspirin, Bilitong, Niuhuang Jiedu tablets, Ganmaoling, Houyan pills, Zhike dew, Baihua oil, vitamin C pills, stomach medicine, gauze, eye drops and anti-inflammatory drugs. It is suggested to prepare a small medicine box of different sizes, with the big one in the backpack and the small one carried with you.

5. Be careful of heatstroke. The sunshine on the plateau is terrible, especially in summer when you do outdoor activities for a long time. Therefore, you must prepare cool oil, pills and the like for outdoor travel on the plateau, and drink plenty of water. If you find someone suffering from heatstroke, you should move it to a cool and ventilated place as soon as possible, lift your head and shoulders and lie down, take off your coat and wet the patient's underwear with water, constantly fan the wind, and wipe the patient's body with a cold towel to reduce the patient's body temperature. When the patient is awake, he should replenish water.

What should I do if hypoglycemia occurs?

1. Whether you are traveling by car or sightseeing, you should put some candy, chocolate and fruit candy in your pocket. Eat breakfast on time Once you don't eat breakfast or eat too little breakfast, and feel flustered and hungry before lunch, eat a few sweets immediately, and you will return to normal in about 10 to 15 minutes.

If possible, you can drink a cup of concentrated sugar water immediately. If you don't take candy with you on the trip, you can drink sugary drinks or eat other foods, and you can return to normal, just slowly.

3. If a traveling companion has hypoglycemia and suddenly faints on the ground, he should lie on his back immediately, unbutton his clothes and belt, and let him take some concentrated sugar water or sweet drinks, fruit juice and the like, which can generally relieve him quickly. If the above measures can't make the symptoms of hypoglycemia disappear, you should consider suffering from other diseases and send them to the local hospital for treatment without hesitation.

What if the legs and feet are swollen?

When you first arrive at the plateau, people may have swollen legs and feet because of high altitude and tight travel. Don't panic at this time. The following methods can appropriately reduce or alleviate the degree of edema:

1. Arrange the travel time and route reasonably, don't be in a hurry, have a rest after visiting a scenic spot, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

2. Pay attention to the change of posture on the way. After standing and walking for a while, sit or lie flat for a while and lift your legs. When riding for a long time, you should raise your legs to facilitate the venous blood return of your legs and feet.

3. When traveling for a long time, it's best to wear leggings with proper tightness, or wrap a wide cloth belt around your calf several times and fix it with a pin.

4. After traveling every day, burn your feet with hot water to dilate the blood vessels in your feet and facilitate blood return.
