Travel tips:
① The weather has a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so bring enough clothes, preferably onion style. (The onion style means you can take it off piece by piece without affecting the image. If you don’t wear autumn clothes and long trousers underneath, you can’t see them. You can wear short sleeves as the innermost part, and then a sweater jacket).
② If the climate is dry, prepare fire-reducing medicines and eat more fruits and vegetables and less mutton, otherwise constipation will be easy.
③The wind and sand are strong. In some places, what falls on rainy days is not water droplets but silt.
④ Respect local ethnic customs, do not provoke local ethnic minorities, and do not climb or damage historical monuments.
