Preparations before going to Tibet, things to bring
1, Tibet tourism is most afraid of altitude sickness, so everyone wants to exercise before going to Tibet. In fact, altitude sickness is not necessarily related to physical strength, but to the adaptability and adjustment ability of the body, and no deliberate exercise is needed. If you feel uneasy, you can also do aerobic exercise and some jogging one or two months in advance, but you should pay attention to rest one week before departure and don't do any more exercise.
2. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has a harsh environment, which requires certain health of people entering Tibet. Generally speaking, there is no problem for most people to travel to Tibet, except some people with serious diseases, such as the following categories: 1. People with heart disease, blood disease and cerebrovascular disease; 2. Suffering from various respiratory diseases; 3. Suffering from epilepsy, schizophrenia and uncontrolled diabetes; 4. Had altitude sickness, such as altitude edema, altitude brain edema, altitude heart disease, etc. ; 5. High-risk pregnant women; 6. Suffering from a bad cold, fever or respiratory infection.

In this case, it is best to take medicine or consult a doctor to avoid serious consequences.
There are many drugs that can prevent altitude sickness. Just go to the pharmacy and let the doctor tell you. The most familiar rhodiola sachalinensis, including capsules, oral liquid and prototype rhodiola sachalinensis, can be soaked in water.

Why can't I go to Tibet if I have a cold? When you catch a cold, your lungs and trachea will become inflamed. At this time, the human body's resistance is poor, the plateau oxygen is less and dry, and the cold is easy to get worse, and the common cold will become pneumonia, pulmonary edema or bronchitis. Everyone is unwilling to bear the consequences. If you catch a cold, cure it before you start.
6. All the year round, May to October is the best season in Tibet, warm and comfortable but not hot. But this time is also the peak season for tourism in Tibet. There are more tourists, the consumption of related industries is also rising, and your tourism consumption expenditure is also high. 1 1 month to April of the following year, although it is cold, it is sunny and warm as spring during the day. There are few tourists at this time, and what you see is the authentic Tibetan customs.
7. There are three main ways to enter Tibet: car, train and plane. Car consumption takes a long time and the consumption expenditure is relatively high, but it takes a long time for the body to adapt to the plateau; The time for the train to enter Tibet is shorter than that for the car, and it can be entered in stages, with the least expenditure, so that the body can gradually adapt to the altitude and reduce the probability of high reaction; It takes only a few hours for the plane to enter Tibet, but the altitude changes dramatically, and the probability of high inversion is also the highest, and the cost is quite high.
8. Although many hikers are keen to go to Tibet, they can't just go anywhere. In some places, they need border defense certificates to go.

It is more convenient to handle it at the public security bureau where your account is located. Generally, it is free, and some places will charge a little. The border guards in Lhasa, Shigatse and Linzhibian in Tibet can also apply for border cards, but the procedures are more troublesome. If you apply yourself, it may take a lot of time and energy. It's best to find a local travel agency to entrust, generally 100 yuan, valid for one month.

Generally speaking, it is recommended not to take a bath and go to bed early on the day of arrival. The plateau is relatively dry, and many people are prone to nosebleeds after coming to Tibet. You can ask the doctor to prescribe some ointment to lubricate the nasal cavity. In addition, drink plenty of water and eat light food first. Before going to bed, you can put a washbasin of water in the bedroom. The air is not so dry, which helps to alleviate the high reaction.

The temperature difference is a little big. It is best to wear trousers and long sleeves during the day and pay attention to sun protection. Just add a coat at night. July and August are two seasons where rainfall is concentrated in Tibet, but basically it is sunny during the day and rainy at night, but it is better to take rain gear with you in your bag just in case. Special note: Tibet's high-altitude scenic spots are very cold in summer, so it is necessary to bring winter clothes to keep warm. The high-altitude scenic spots frequented mainly include Namtso, Everest (base camp) and Ali.
12, Tibet Plateau is relatively dry, with less water vapor and clouds in the atmosphere and less reflection on ultraviolet rays, so there are more ultraviolet rays reaching the ground.

In terms of temperature, Tibet is about MINUS 10 degrees in winter, which is warmer than most cities in the north, and it is sunny and very warm during the day. In most parts of Tibet, it is enough to wear thick down jackets. Except for Ali and Naqu, the temperature is basically below MINUS 10 degrees.
Although it is cold at this time, there are fewer tourists visiting Tibet, and all kinds of expenses are relatively low. You can go to most scenic spots except a few because of heavy snow.
14. It's cold to travel to Tibet in winter, but compared with the peak season, there are fewer people staying, eating and visiting scenic spots, and the price is very favorable, so the tourism expenditure is much less. In winter, people are most keen to wander around the city. Sunbathing at the entrance of Potala Palace Square and Jokhang Temple, and strolling around Barkhor Street. If the weather is good and there is no mountain closure, you can go to Namtso, while Everest and even Ali can go almost all year round, and the price will be much cheaper at this time. You can also go to hot springs, Yangbajing Hot Springs, Riduo Hot Springs and Dezhong Hot Springs. Watching snowflakes fall in hot springs is also a great enjoyment of life.
15, when the weather is fine in winter, as long as there is no mountain closure, you can generally go to Everest. But you can't spend the night. First of all, it's too cold up there, and nearby hotels and restaurants will close at this time. If you encounter mountain closure and road closure, you can consider going to Linzhi, Shannan, Shigatse and other warmer attractions.
16. In most parts of Tibet, mobile phone signals are basically covered now, so there is no need to worry about urban areas. Combining all aspects of information, mobile signal is better. If it is a remote place, there may be no signal in some places. If you want to go, get ready.
