Is there altitude sickness in Tibet? How high is the altitude?

? Tibet has altitude sickness, with an altitude of about 4, to 5,.

Altitude sickness is a kind of discomfort caused by people's rapid entry into the plateau above 3 meters above sea level and exposure to low-pressure and low-oxygen environment, which is a unique common disease in plateau areas.

this kind of area is generally in low pressure, with thin low-pressure air, high ultraviolet intensity and low temperature. Generally speaking, it is because residents living in the mainland enter the plateau area, and altitude sickness occurs in the low pressure and low oxygen environment due to poor adaptability of the body.

climatic characteristics

the climate in Tibet is unique, complicated and diverse due to the influence of topography, landforms and atmospheric circulation. Generally speaking, the climate is cold and dry in the northwest and warm and humid in the southeast.

Therefore, from southeast to northwest, the climate types are tropical, subtropical, plateau temperate zone, plateau sub-frigid zone, plateau frigid zone and so on. In the alpine valleys of southeastern Tibet and the southern slope of Himalayas, due to the repeated elevation of topography, the temperature gradually drops, and the climate changes vertically from tropical or subtropical climate to temperate, cold temperate and frigid climate.
