1. What is altitude sickness? What are the symptoms of altitude sickness?

Altitude sickness is a natural phenomenon that people reach a certain altitude to adapt to the changes of air pressure difference, low oxygen content and dry air caused by altitude.

Physiological reaction: When the altitude reaches about 2700 meters, there will be altitude sickness. Symptoms of altitude sickness generally include headache, shortness of breath, chest tightness, anorexia, low fever and dizziness.

, fatigue, etc. Some people appear because of low oxygen content: purple lips and fingertips, lethargy, hyperactivity, insomnia and other different manifestations. Some people appear because the air is dry: skin.

Rough lips, chapped lips, bleeding nostrils or blood clots.

2. How to avoid or reduce altitude sickness?

Most people have mild or severe altitude sickness when they first arrive at the plateau. What kind of people generally have no rules to follow to avoid or alleviate altitude sickness?

Law is to face it with a good attitude. Many reaction symptoms are caused by psychological effects or psychological effects, such as fear of the plateau and insufficient psychological preparation for victory.

People with certain altitude are more likely to have altitude sickness.

It is suggested that when you first arrive at the plateau, don't walk fast, let alone run or run, or do manual labor or overeating, so as not to increase the burden on the digestive organs.

Drink and smoke, eat more foods rich in vitamins such as vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, keep warm, and take fewer baths to avoid wasting your strength with a cold. Don't take oxygen from the beginning, do it.

Get used to it, or you may never be able to lack oxygen at the plateau (very dependent).

You can take some drugs to relieve altitude sickness: Rhodiola sachalinensis (taken at least 10 days in advance), Gao Yuan 'an (taken after arriving in Tibet), American ginseng buccal tablets and Nuodikang gum.

Capsule (very useful for relieving extreme fatigue), Baifuning (for controlling headache caused by altitude sickness), American ginseng (very useful for relieving extreme fatigue), quick-acting Jiuxin Pill (don't take more),

Danshen dripping pills (used to treat cardiovascular diseases), glucose solution (a box of five pills, which has certain curative effect when altitude sickness symptoms appear), etc. For people with strong adaptability to altitude sickness, one

Generally, symptoms of altitude sickness can be eliminated within 1-2 days, and it takes 3-7 days for those with weak adaptability.

If you can adapt to the taste of butter tea, you can also drink more butter tea, which also has a certain effect on relieving altitude sickness.

3. What should I do if I have altitude sickness after I arrive in Tibet?

There are some hotels or towns with hospitals or health centers in Tibet. It is suggested to adapt to mild altitude sickness through self-regulation, and to see a doctor in severe cases. appear

After altitude sickness, you should rest more, exercise less, insist on eating, and take some drugs to relieve altitude sickness.

Severe altitude sickness, such as edema, pulmonary edema, bad cold and other symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for infusion, oxygen inhalation and other treatment, and leave the plateau as soon as possible in Lhasa.

This is more convenient. There are flights in and out of Lhasa every day, and you can leave by plane. Generally, altitude sickness disappears without a trace as soon as it enters the plane or reaches the plain, and there is no sequelae.

4. What are the requirements for entering Tibet? Which patients should not enter Tibet? Do you need a physical examination? Do you need exercise?

In addition to maintaining a good attitude, there is no special requirement for a healthy body when entering Tibet. People with severe respiratory, tracheal, cardiac, cardiovascular and mental diseases are not allowed to enter.

Tibet, therefore, for patients with severe hypertension, heart disease, (bronchitis), diabetes and colds, entry into Tibet is restricted. I suggest you have a heart and lung examination before entering Tibet.

Check to confirm whether you have the above serious diseases. In addition, don't exercise deliberately before going to Tibet. If you always keep exercising, you should stop half a month before you go to Tibet.

Later, because of the increased oxygen consumption through exercise, the burden on the heart increased when I was in Tibet, but it was easy to cause altitude sickness.

5. Why can't I go to Tibet when I have a cold? How do you catch a cold in Tibet?

When a cold patient enters Tibet with a bad cold, his body function is destroyed, his disease resistance is weakened, and his resistance load is increased, which is easily converted into other altitude sickness.

Especially pulmonary edema, a particularly dangerous plateau disease, is likely to be life-threatening if it is not treated in time. If you have a cold, I suggest you cure it before you leave. Don't.

Bring cold germs into Tibet.

In Tibet, colds are generally not a big problem. Because you have certain adaptability and resistance at the plateau, your body has been basically adjusted and you can be treated in time.

Moreover, doctors in Tibet are very experienced in treating colds. Take some cold medicine. Once you have cold symptoms, take some common cold medicine yourself. Symptoms will disappear after 1-2 days.

Lost.

6. Is it convenient to take a bath in Tibet?

Cities of a certain scale in Tibet (such as Lhasa, Shigatse, Zhangmu Town, Gyangze, Zedang, Linzhi and Naqu) have bathing places, and 5 yuan is the only place to bathe. one

Standard rooms in star-rated hotels all have separate bathrooms with hot water for bathing, and many guest houses also have public baths, which provide hot water regularly to facilitate bathing. When I first arrived in Tibet, I was exhausted

Take a bath less or not, so as not to catch a cold, or cause or aggravate altitude sickness due to excessive physical exertion in bathing. After arriving for a few days, the body generally does not take a bath after adapting to the plateau climate.

There is a problem. Because the air in Tibet is dry and evaporates quickly, and the temperature is cold at night, most people don't particularly want to take a bath in Tibet, and they don't feel uncomfortable.

7. I heard that flying into Tibet is more powerful than landing on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?

That's true. However, flying into Tibet and entering Tibet by land have their own advantages and disadvantages. When flying into Tibet, the altitude rose from a few hundred meters to more than 3,000 meters, and none of them gradually went from low to low.

Altitude sickness is more likely to occur in the process of high adaptation. When entering Tibet by land, the altitude gradually rises, which is beneficial to adapt to altitude sickness, but the routes and road conditions for entering Tibet are mostly small.

Well, on the way to Tibet, we have to climb several mountain passes at an altitude of 5000 meters. There are no hospitals and first-aid facilities on the road, while the road conditions in Yunnan, Tibet and Sichuan are extremely poor and collapse in the rainy season.

Debris flow is frequent and prone to danger. If you are not a self-help tour and have no outdoor travel experience, I suggest you go to Tibet by plane. If you like self-help travel, but you don't

Having experience in outdoor travel, I suggest you enter Tibet from the Qinghai-Tibet line for the first time, which is relatively safe.

8. Time is tight. How to choose tourist routes in Tibet?

For those who are pressed for time, flying back and forth is more suitable for you. You can choose Lhasa for four days, or Lhasa-Gyangze-Shigatse for six days, which is a golden tourist route in Tibet. such as

If you are not a backpacker, you can contact the travel agency in advance and arrange your trip to Tibet. If you love self-help travel and have some travel experience, you can join.

Try reading books such as "Self-help Travel to Tibet" and "Tibetan Cowhide Book", make travel plans, and send your plans to online outdoor forums in advance, such as Tianya Travel Edition.

Www.tianyaclub.com), The Wizard of Oz (), etc. Let the experienced network

Friends give you advice.

9. Is it better to take the Sichuan-Tibet line or the Qinghai-Tibet line?

The Sichuan-Tibet line is the most beautiful route to Tibet by land, but it is also the most dangerous route. The road conditions are mainly gravel or gravel roads, and the dangers mainly come from nature.

Conditions, this line crosses the Hengduan Mountains, with many mudslides in rainy season and heavy snow in winter. The seasons on the way are changeable, and the accommodation and dining conditions are very simple, which is more suitable for tourist explorers or

It is recommended that deep tourists do not choose this route when they enter Tibet for the first time. The Qinghai-Tibet line is the best route to Tibet. Although roads are constantly being built every year, most roads

The road section is paved with asphalt, and there is basically no danger. Accommodation and catering conditions are more complete than other routes into Tibet, but the scenery is dull and monotonous, not as beautiful as Sichuan and Yunnan.

Scenery, and along the way, you have to cross several mountain passes (Kunlun Mountain Pass and Tanggula Mountain Pass) at an altitude of about 5,000 meters, which may have certain altitude sickness, so it is suitable for entering Tibet for the first time and you don't want to fly.

Robot tourists.

10. What are the accommodation and dining conditions along the Qinghai-Tibet line?

Accommodation is guaranteed. Xidatan, Wudaoliang, Tuotuo River, etc. also have poor guest houses and military stations. Basically, you can check in at any time, and few people are full.

At that time. After passing the Tanggula Pass, you will arrive at Amdo area and hotels. Where there is a hotel, there is hot water and you can take a bath. Of course, the hostel cannot guarantee hot water. Food and drink

And absolutely no problem. There are many Sichuan dishes and restaurants opened by Hui people along the way. As long as it is not particularly desolate, you can have hot meals in about ten minutes in places where villages or troops are basically located.

Noodles, and there are many small shops along the way You can buy instant noodles or biscuits.

1 1, what problems should be paid attention to?

If you want to enter Tibet from the Qinghai-Tibet line, I suggest you take a train or bus to Golmud instead of taking a bus in Xining, and then take a bus from Golmud to Tibet. You can go west in advance.

Ning or Golmud buy glucose solution (a box of five, the price is mostly a box in 2 yuan), and altitude sickness can be taken in time on the way, and the effect is good. Take a ride in Golmud

You can take a long-distance sleeper bus (directly opposite the railway station). You can also take a ride to Lhasa. Pick-up places are mostly at the gate of the Second Hostel of the Armed Police (you need to ask when you arrive)

Q), get off at the train station and take a taxi to 7 yuan. Most of the vehicles are Toyota, Jinbei or Santana, and they are generally in good condition, but the price depends on your bargaining power. in luck

If so, it may not be that the driver is willing to send you to Tibet for free.

If it is a deep self-help tour, you can also come in by truck all the way. The place to take the truck is on the left side of Golmud Railway Station, where many trucks entering Tibet are parked.

You can walk and play, and the Sonam Dajie Protection Station, Chuma River Bridge (where you can see Tibetan antelope) and Tuotuo River Bridge (the first bridge at the source of the Yangtze River) along the way are all worth stopping.

If you ride or walk on the Qinghai-Tibet line and miss your accommodation, you can go to the nearest protection station (there are five protection stations along the Qinghai-Tibet line, all the way to Tuotuo River). best-known

It is the Sonam Street Protection Station, the first non-governmental protection station) and the road team (there is a road team every 100 km, which is responsible for road construction. Maintenance) for help, generally have to.

Warm hospitality, but in class, please be careful of the house dog. It's not worth being bitten by accident. In addition, when you say goodbye, don't forget to express your due thanks to the protection station and Luban.

12. How to solve the traffic from the airport to Lhasa?

Civil aviation companies have shuttle buses between Lhasa and Gongga Airport, which are basically connected with inbound and outbound flights on the same day. Basically, people leave when they are almost full.

Or leave after a flight, the departure time from Lhasa is relatively stable, and now the bus price is 27 yuan. Like other airports, there are many taxis at Lhasa Gongga Airport.

It can be shared by several people or chartered by individuals. Drivers will charge by the head or by the car. Generally, every car is around 200 yuan. Remember to bargain with the driver. How much you say depends on your eloquence.

Yes

13 where can I rent a car in Lhasa? Is it safe to rent a car? What is the price?

Lhasa is a short trip. If you rent a taxi (Santana), just wave in the street and talk to the taxi driver directly. Generally, it is in the city 10 yuan. If you want to charter a car to run a long distance (generally use Yue

Wild cars, such as Toyota 62 and Toyota 4500, can go to the Backpacker's Dining Bar (tibet-backpacker.net) diagonally opposite the Baron Snow Hotel. They can provide information about the driver's car.

Car condition is generally guaranteed and the price is reasonable. If you have no travel experience, they can also help you make travel plans and charter contracts. Of course, like a donkey friend

More concentrated, Asia Hotel, Balangxue Hotel and kirey Hotel can also find some information about renting a car, but the condition and price of the car depend on your eyesight and bargaining skills.

It should be noted that all tourist vehicles must have special certificates issued by Tibet Tourism Bureau, and rent cars in Tibet at the same time, in the off-season (165438+1October-March of the following year) and in the peak season (April-65438+1October).

The price will change greatly. I advise you not to be too eager for low fares. You get what you pay for. If the price is too low, not only the condition of the car cannot be guaranteed, but the driver may also be temporary.

Raise the price or charge extra. It is best to negotiate with the driver and sign a charter contract before departure.

14. What are the accommodation conditions in Tibet? Do you need to bring tents and sleeping bags? Can you rent it?

At present, with the further development of tourism resources and the increase of tourists, the accommodation conditions in Tibet have been greatly improved, with several relatively large cities and various levels of stars.

There are already first-class hotels, and there are at least guest houses in all counties, but the overall level of hotels and guest houses is lower than that of the same level in the mainland. Like Lhasa, from ordinary

There are four-star guest houses and four-star accommodation rooms. Accommodation rooms in Shigatse, Gyangze, Zedang and Linzhi range from ordinary guest houses to three-star hotels with fixed dates, such as Zhangmu and Naqu.

Ordinary guest houses start from two-star accommodation rooms, and other relatively remote or small places are mainly guest houses. Do you need to bring tents and sleeping bags to travel to Tibet, mainly

It depends on how to travel and where to travel. If you take part in the regular travel routes of travel agencies, there is no need to bring these equipment, because the regular travel routes of travel agencies are accommodation facilities.

In a relatively complete city, you stayed in star-rated hotels all the way. If you go to a remote place, you may have to stay in a hostel. It is recommended to bring a sleeping bag, mainly for hygiene and cold protection.

If hiking, cycling and adventure travel are basically camping, tents and sleeping bags are essential. You must consider your physical condition because you are on the plateau after all.

Tents and outdoor cooking are hard work.

It is easy to rent tents and sleeping bags in Lhasa. The cost is calculated by the day, and the price is determined by the quality. There are many outdoor goods stores in Lhasa, all of which have rental business.

15. What kind of sleeping bag and tent should I choose if I want to camp?

In the choice of sleeping bags and tents, it is suggested that you bring sleeping bags that can resist MINUS 15 degrees and double-layer weatherproof mountain tents. Camping on the plateau is usually windy, especially on the green land.

In winter, the outdoor temperature in Tibet Line, Northern Tibet Grassland, Ali and other places is below minus 20 degrees. If there is no stove indoors, it is about -5- 10 degrees, which is more common.

Sleeping bags and tents are completely useless.

16. Are there many star-rated hotels in Tibet? Are you nervous? Is it expensive?

Tibet, like Lhasa and Shigatse, is a major tourist destination with many star-rated hotels. There are forty or fifty star-rated hotels in Lhasa, and twenty hotels in Shigatse, except May 1st, 11th and 8th.

Accommodation is very tight during the three golden weeks of the "Snowton Festival" in June, and there is no problem at other times. There are fewer star-rated hotels in other places, but there are relatively few tourists.

Therefore, there is little "tension" in housing. Because Tibet is located in the plateau, the tourist season is obvious, and it is basically closed in the off-season, so the room rate in the peak season is comparable to that in the mainland.

If the price is higher, it is about 30% more expensive, and the room rate may double in a period of time or a period of time.

17. What backpacker hotels are there in Lhasa and what are their prices? Is the accommodation tight?

In Lhasa, backpackers' hotels mainly include Balangxue Hotel, Kerry Hotel, Asia Hotel, Long Da Juesa Hotel and Yuxue Hotel. Most of them are concentrated in beijing east road, among which Balang.

School hotels and kirey hotels can provide free laundry and free storage services. The price is not high either. Generally, each bed is around 15 yuan in the off-season and around 30 yuan in the peak season. cost comparison

The high ones are Asian hotels and Snow Hotel, mostly foreign self-help tourists. During the peak season, the accommodation in Balangxue Hotel, kirey Hotel and Asian Hotel is relatively tight, so you can go to other tours.

Check in.

18. Where can I find a traveling companion in Lhasa?

If you are a self-help traveler and only one person comes to Lhasa, you don't have to worry about not finding a companion to charter a car with. You can stay at the Baron Snow Hotel, the Kiri Hotel and the Asia Hotel.

Long Da Juesa Hotel and Yuxue Hotel have message boards. Take a closer look and you will find many like-minded partners. In addition, it is a lucky day for backpackers to eat at the restaurant diagonally opposite the Baron Snow Hotel.

The frontier fortress prospect opposite the hotel also provides message board service. Travelers who go to those places are mostly self-help travelers, and you can often see groups of three or five discussing tourism.

Plan, you can participate in the discussion, or you can post your own travel plan with contact information. With any luck, we may have news in less than half an hour.

19. What are the specialties in Tibet? Where can I taste it?

Ciba, butter tea, yak meat, Tibetan noodles, sweet tea and highland barley wine are all characteristics of Tibetan areas. As deep self-help tourists, there are sweet teahouses all over Tibet, right?

A place I shouldn't go. There, you can taste authentic Tibetan noodles and sweet tea and feel the warm atmosphere of Tibetans, which is unmatched anywhere in the mainland. If you also

If you want to taste Tibetan food further, you can go to Arocang restaurant next to Jokhang Temple. There are many authentic Tibetan meals for you to choose from, but the price is higher and most people are not used to them, such as air drying.

About ten degrees in the evening; In winter, it's about ten degrees in the daytime and a few degrees below zero in the evening. Our tourism activities are concentrated in the daytime, so we don't feel hot in summer and winter.

It will be too cold.

2 1. What's the winter scenery like in Tibet?

Because the surface of Tibet is dominated by mountains, which are basically rocky mountains with various mineral colors, there are basically no trees except in eastern Tibet, so the scenery in Tibet is winter.

It's not much different from summer. In winter, you can see more snow-capped mountains and large glaciers. Winter is the off-season of Tibet tourism, and the cost of accommodation and tourist buses is very cheap.

There are fewer people, so you can enjoy it more.

22. What are the road conditions in rainy season? Do you want to bring rain gear?

The rainy season in Tibet is mainly concentrated in June, July and August. In the rainy season, the road conditions are very bad and unpredictable. On the first day, the road was not bad, and there was heavy rain at night.

If you can, it will be washed off. There may be no way out or detours in these two days, but don't worry. There are many road maintenance workers in Tibet, all of whom are helped by the local garrison (some departments)

Teams are designed to protect local roads. It can usually be solved in a few hours, as long as you are mentally prepared. As for rain gear, if you are hiking, climbing or cycling.

For self-help tours such as self-driving and adventure, it is recommended to bring coats, rain pants and rain boots before departure. If you are in a travel team of a travel agency, you generally don't need to bring rain gear, because Tibet

It rains mostly at night, and it rains at night. It is basically clear in Wan Li during the day, and there is a coach to follow it all the way, so don't worry too much.

23. When is a suitable time to travel to Tibet?

The tourist season in Tibet is concentrated in April -65438+ 10. During this period, the accommodation and shopping prices in Tibet were relatively high, but during this period, Tibet was also different.

When the scenery is at its best, several important festivals (such as Sheldon's Day) are also during this time. There are few tourists in Tibet in winter, and accommodation and shopping are relatively cheap. If you like heat.

If it is noisy, you can enter Tibet in July and August. If you like quiet and solitude, it is also a good choice to enter Tibet in June 5438+February. There won't be many tourists, most of them are familiar with them.

26. Who needs a border pass to enter Tibet? Who can be exempted? How to deal with it? Can Tibet do it?

Because many tourist areas in Tibet belong to the border areas of China or areas that are not fully open, China citizens (including compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao) must apply for border passes to enter this area for sightseeing.

, otherwise you don't need to enter. For valid passport holders who have applied for exit visas (that is, walking passports), border passes may be exempted. Handling of Tibet Border Card and Shenzhen Border Card

The same is true for border card processing. It is easier to go to the police station where the household registration is located with a personal ID card. Some police stations may not have done it and will not handle it. You can go to Tibet first.

The liaison office of the Tourism Bureau can issue a travel certificate, which can save some trouble. The specific handling method is: write a certificate in the company, stating that you will go to XXX for business reasons (how much do you need to write?

How many) border areas, people who prove that they are units stamp, and then go to the police station where the account is located. It can be handled in Tibet, but it is very troublesome, complicated and expensive.

Real hospitality; It is often found that seven or eight cars stop to repair the car of an unknown master. The insecurity in Tibet mainly comes from natural disasters, such as landslides and snowstorms.

Avalanche, flood, rollover, etc.

3 1. It is said that it is convenient to give them a small gift. What gift should I bring?

It is best to send some stationery, such as pencils, notebooks and ballpoint pens. Tibet is short of materials, and these worthless things in the mainland are rare in remote areas of Tibet.

Expensive items, especially those children who go to school; There are also some sweets, biscuits and the like. It is suggested not to give money directly, so as not to let them form some bad habits.

32. In Tibet, I saw many people begging. Should I give it to them?

I suggest that you don't give it to children begging in urban areas, otherwise a large group of children may be attracted around you, so that you can't get away, especially Jokhang Temple.

This is especially true in front of and at the entrance to Potala Palace Square. Many children have never studied since childhood and have been begging for money for a living, which is equivalent to conniving at them. For some self-proclaimed Sakya Monastery

Lama, I also advise you not to give alms. Not many real Sakya lamas will come out and ask for money. For the elderly who kowtow after menstruation, I suggest you give some alms appropriately, although

Although you may not understand their ideas, they deserve your respect.

Jinsuika and Longka will do. The Great Wall Card of China Bank and the Dragon Card of China Construction Bank are better to use. Several big cities can generally withdraw cash directly at the counter, but the golden spike card of ABC is not very convenient.

Not recommended. ICBC's Peony Card is temporarily unavailable in Tibet. The green card for postal savings can be used at all networked savings points. I suggest you take your passbook, just in case.

One. However, due to the poor telecommunications network in Tibet, it is sometimes impossible to connect with the mainland, especially the network of banks. You'd better keep some cash on hand.
