Why do Tibetans like to eat beef and mutton
In fact, the fact that all ethnic groups in Tibet like to eat beef and mutton is mainly due to the plateau climate. Especially in autumn and winter, if you can't eat a lot of fat, you can't resist the cold of the plateau. And the Tibetan people are very religious in Tibetan Buddhism. They believe that killing a cow or a sheep can make a lot of people full. Unlike eating fish, chicken and other birds, to make the whole family full, they will kill more fish, chickens and other things. Therefore, the Tibetan people take large-scale cattle and sheep as their main source of food. During the Sagadawa festival every year, many Tibetan people buy the fish sold in the market and release them in Lhasa River, longwangtan and other places.

IV. questions and answers
1. No exercise is required before entering Tibet. Many people are afraid of altitude reaction and think that they should strengthen themselves before going to Tibet. In fact, there is not much to do with being strong. Ordinary people don't need to exercise deliberately. If you are not sure, you can jog a month in advance, but don't exercise a week before you start.
2. The altitude response was also mild and severe. When entering Tibet for the first time, some people will suffer from headache, tinnitus, shortness of breath, general weakness, insomnia and other symptoms. Even worse, they will feel nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, panic and purple face. Generally, the slight high reaction will get used to 1-2 days after the first arrival in Tibet. Severe high altitude reactions include brain edema and pulmonary edema. It is necessary to immediately send the patient to the nearest hospital, otherwise it may lead to shock, and serious patients may be threatened with death.
3. Altitude response has nothing to do with flying into Tibet. Take the train to Tibet, let your body slowly adapt to the gradually rising altitude. However, it takes more than 40 hours to get to Tibet by train in many cities. It's really hard for people. Many tourists start to turn high in Tanggula Mountain pass because of their long journey. At this time, they can choose to take the train in two sections, stay in Xining or Xi'an for one or two days, and then buy the train ticket to Tibet in Xining (friendly tip: there are too many yellow cattle in Xining, Train tickets are too high. If time is short and economy is abundant, it's worth recommending that you choose to go to Tibet by plane. The online saying that "when you go to Tibet by plane, you will have plateau reaction" is not correct. Plateau reaction is not caused by flying. Some people travel slowly to Tibet by themselves or have high reaction. It's worth mentioning that no matter you are in Tibet by plane or by train, don't wash your hair and take a bath on the day when you arrive at Lhasa. You need to rest more. You really have a habit of cleanliness. When you wash your hair, you must remember to dry it.
4. Heart disease, asthma and hypertension are not suitable for Tibet. Generally speaking, most people can travel to Tibet unless they suffer from serious diseases. The following six conditions are not suitable for people to come: A, with a variety of heart disease, blood disease, cerebrovascular disease B, with chronic respiratory disease. C. epilepsy, schizophrenia or uncontrolled diabetes. D. severe cold, fever or respiratory infection. E. have suffered from high altitude pulmonary edema, high altitude brain edema, high altitude hypertension, high altitude heart disease and high altitude erythrocytosis. F. for high-risk pregnant women, the general travel society directly refuses to accept pregnant women. At the same time, it is not recommended that pregnant women travel to Tibet by themselves.

5. People with severe cold should not enter Tibet. In the case of a cold, there is often inflammation in the trachea and lungs, weak resistance of the human body, and low oxygen content in the plateau. A cold can easily deteriorate into bronchitis, pulmonary edema or pneumonia, which is not worth the loss. In addition, it will take a long time to recover from a cold in a plateau area.
6. Just arrived in Tibet, have less activities and drink more water. Don't take a bath; eat light food and drink more water (not drinks); don't rush to play around, first go to the city, let the body slowly adapt to the plateau, and then go to places with higher altitudes to play; more rest.
7. Single women are not recommended to take a ride to Sichuan Tibet. The Sichuan Tibet line has a South line and a North line, with a total length of 2140 kilometers and a total length of 2412 kilometers. Generally, people take the south line on foot or by car, which takes about a week. At present, it is not recommended for single young women to hike on the Sichuan Tibet line, especially for "poor travel" in Tibet. The second is to lose their lives, and the risk factor should be considered by themselves.
8. Find someone to carpool without making a bargain. Many backpackers don't like to join a group in a travel agency. They prefer to find a few like-minded car charterers, which is more free. Generally, there are three ways to find people to carpool: one is to contact a professional travel rental company and let it publish carpooling information on behalf of it; the second is to post carpooling information in Tibet Tourism Forum; the third is to post small advertisements in the posting area of Youth Hostel. Warm reminder, please remember to look for vehicles with legal operation license plate. Lhasa's tourist car is the license plate at the beginning of Tibet Al, so don't try to be cheap for a while. Many 'black cars' have a high accident rate, because the drivers are usually private cars without detection, which are prone to failure. Some drivers just came to Tibet to eat and run in black cars. In fact, they know nothing about Tibet except Lhasa. As for his driving skills, they are not flattered.
9. Go to Tibet and get China mobile number. In most parts of Tibet, mobile phones have signals, especially in towns with a large population. You don't have to worry about it at all, but sometimes the weather affects and the signals are not very good. Only in some unmanned areas in northern Tibet, there is no mobile phone signal. At present, after testing, China Mobile's signal in Tibet is the best, followed by China Telecom, and finally China Unicom. After the Unicom signal went out of Lhasa, many places have no signal directly.
10. There are many banks in Tibet, and it's best to bring CCB card or ABC card. In Lhasa, there are many banks of China, postal savings, Agricultural Bank of China and China Construction Bank. Most of them have ATMs, which is very convenient to withdraw money. It is recommended to bring CCB savings card + ABC credit card, which is convenient for withdrawal and credit card. At present, ICBC has only set up Tibet branch in Lhasa, with few ATMs, which is not recommended. At present, China CITIC Bank and Minsheng Bank have been newly opened in recent two years. In addition, there is a local bank in Tibet - the Bank of Tibet, which is mainly composed of local users.
11. For the first time visitors to Tibet, we suggest that the route should be arranged around one week (excluding the big traffic time), such as 8-night 9-day tour to Lhasa, Linzhi, basongcuo, Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, Shigatse and Namuco.
