Highland travel precautions Areas above 3,000 meters above sea level are called highland areas. It is characterized by low air pressure and low concentration of oxygen in the air, which easily leads to lack of oxygen in the human body, thus causing plateau reaction. The common symptoms of altitude sickness are vomiting, tinnitus, headache, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, fever, hazy sleep, and in severe cases, dullness of sensation, emotional uncertainty, mental exuberance, memory loss, hearing, sight, smell, taste abnormalities, hallucinations, and so on, and swelling, shock, or spasms may also occur.

Therefore, it is important to keep drinking small amounts of water.
Quit smoking: The affinity of carbon monoxide produced by cigarettes for hemoglobin is 250 to 300 times that of oxygen, and a large number of cigarettes will significantly aggravate the plateau reaction.
Learn the correct way to breathe: sports tests have proved that abdominal breathing is more regular and rhythmic than thoracic respiration. Visitors can place their hands on their hips when walking or climbing, so that the muscles of the arms, collarbones, scapulae, and the torso above the waist are used as auxiliary respiration, in order to increase the respiratory system's ability to move around.
