The average altitude of Qamdo is over 3500 meters. For some people, after reaching this altitude, the body will produce a natural physiological reaction, that is, altitude sickness, to adapt to the changes brought about by altitude, such as air pressure difference, low oxygen content and dry air.

The symptoms of altitude sickness vary from person to person. Some people may have mild reactions, such as dizziness, fatigue and shortness of breath, while others may have severe altitude sickness, even life-threatening.

Therefore, if you plan to go to Qamdo or other plateau areas, it is recommended to know the relevant knowledge of altitude sickness in advance, make full physical preparations, and carry necessary drugs with you to alleviate altitude sickness. If severe altitude sickness occurs, you should seek medical attention immediately.
