There is a local custom of refilling empty butter tea bowls when entertaining guests. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the bowl two-thirds full of butter tea. This will not hurt the feelings of Tibetans and protect themselves. It is recommended to bring antidiarrheal medicine such as berberine.

4. Non-Muslims are generally not welcome to visit mosques during prayer times, but Muslim prayers are indeed worth seeing. You should obtain permission before visiting and taking photos. The best way is to find a Muslim to take you in and let him make arrangements.

This situation also exists in some other tourist spots, so special care is required.

Things to note when traveling to plateau Areas with an altitude above 3,000 meters are called plateau areas.

It is characterized by low air pressure and low oxygen concentration in the air, which can easily lead to hypoxia in the human body, thus causing altitude sickness.

Common symptoms of altitude sickness are vomiting, tinnitus, headache, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, fever, and drowsiness. In severe cases, there may be dullness, mood swings, excitement, memory loss, abnormal hearing, vision, smell, and taste, and hallucinations.

etc., edema, shock or cramps may also occur.

1. Common plateau travel precautions: Drink more water: Due to the low air humidity in the plateau, the human body is prone to dehydration, and increased hemoglobin leads to increased blood viscosity, which can easily form thrombosis and cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.

Therefore, keep drinking small amounts of water.

Quit smoking: The affinity between carbon monoxide produced by cigarettes and hemoglobin is 250 to 300 times that of oxygen. Heavy smoking will significantly aggravate altitude sickness.

Learn the correct breathing method: Exercise tests have proven that abdominal breathing is more regular and rhythmic than chest breathing. When walking or climbing, tourists can put their hands on their hips to make the muscles of the arms, collarbones, shoulder blades and trunk above the waist work.

Assist breathing to increase the mobility of the respiratory system.

When you first arrive at the plateau, you should avoid strenuous activities and emotional excitement, and avoid hot baths to avoid accelerating body metabolism and aggravating hypoxia, leading to pulmonary edema.

Adhere to the dietary principles of high sugar, high plant protein and low fat.

Carbohydrates can quickly provide calories, enable people to adapt to high-intensity activities, and can increase oxygen exchange and ventilation.

Excess fat and animal protein can aggravate altitude sickness.

Altitude sickness can easily lead to insomnia, so you can take diazepam appropriately to ensure adequate sleep.

In addition, people under 16 years old and over 60 years old, people with anemia, diabetes, serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic lung diseases, patients with mental illness, and pregnant women are not suitable to travel to the plateau.

2. Some common sense about altitude sickness: 1.

For patients with altitude sickness, giving oxygen and lowering the altitude are the most effective first aid treatments. If there is shock, priority should be given to treatment, and attention should be paid to hypothermia and other complications.

2.

The patient should be moved to a wind-free place and placed in bed immediately. Keep warm to prevent upper respiratory tract infection. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to drink a lot of water.

3.

If the pain is severe, analgesics can be taken to relieve the pain.

If you still cannot adapt, the height needs to be lowered until the patient feels comfortable or the height at which symptoms are significantly relieved.

Generally speaking, patients with altitude sickness can recover without treatment after lowering to level ground.

Even so, severe cases still need to be sent to the hospital for treatment.

3. Tips: 1.

What should I do if I can't breathe at night on the plateau?

Hypoxia at plateau affects ventilation. People often feel that they are breathing more urgently, panting heavily, and cannot sleep well. This situation is relatively normal.
