Do you buy the whole beef and mutton in Tibet?
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.

4、 Q & A
1. There is no need to do any exercise 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 reaction 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.
