1, when you first arrive in Lhasa, altitude sickness is the first pass, and people will feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness and tinnitus, which is caused by thin air and low oxygen content in the plateau area.
It is suggested that when you first arrive, rest for 2-3 days, don't do any strenuous exercise, drink more water, eat more fruits, sleep more and eat some light food. When the body is more adapted, in normal activities, generally one month later, the body can fully adapt to the plateau. Of course, even so, it is not recommended that you run and jump during Lhasa.
Lhasa is relatively humid in summer (but it is also much drier than inland). It usually rains at night, sunny during the day and the air is fresh. The highest temperature is about 28 degrees, and it is about 15 degrees at night.
4. Pay attention to sun protection when living in Lhasa in summer, wear sunscreen when going out, wear a hat and sunglasses, and wear a long-sleeved coat to avoid sunburn even if the temperature is high. There is a big temperature difference in summer, so pay attention to increasing or decreasing clothes at any time.
If you go to work for three years, Lhasa is dry in autumn, winter and spring. Pay attention to drinking water to moisturize the skin, lips and nose. The temperature is ok. The lowest temperature in winter is about MINUS 5 degrees, and it can rise to 10 degrees during the day, which is better than many cities in the north.
6. Life in Lhasa is actually very simple. The urban area is roughly divided into old and new areas. The new urban areas are mainly government agencies, enterprises and institutions, while the old urban areas are mainly inhabited by Tibetans. You live in a new city, where the people are mainly Han, and there are many people in Sichuan and Henan, so there is nothing to pay special attention to.
7. If you go to temples and Tibetan areas, it is best to have people who are familiar with the situation. Generally, taking pictures is not allowed in temples, so don't violate the regulations. It's also best to get their permission before taking pictures of lamas and Tibetans. Tibetans love drinking and singing, and often lose their manners. Don't deliberately provoke them at this time. Tibetans don't eat fish or dogs and believe in Tibetan Buddhism. These concerns are enough.
