Is the Northwest Great Ring Road dangerous in winter?

Generally speaking, the Great Northwest Link is not dangerous in winter, but there are some potential risks. The road conditions are relatively good, but due to the high altitude, low air pressure and relatively low oxygen content in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, altitude sickness will occur to a certain extent, causing human discomfort, including dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, drowsiness and other symptoms. In addition, in winter, the Northwest Great Ring Road may also face some risks, such as vehicle breakdown, unfamiliar road conditions, taking the wrong road, altitude sickness on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, many no-man's land in the northwest, and navigation failure.

Therefore, it is suggested that you make full preparation and planning before driving the Northwest Great Ring Road in winter, pay attention to your physical condition, and avoid overwork and physical exhaustion.
