What should we pay attention to when we travel to Qinghai?
1. Most of Qinghai is dry. In order to enhance the resistance, we should strengthen the intake of vegetables and fruits. We should not eat lamb without restraint. Once it is on fire, it will affect physical strength and health level. Due to the limited production of local fruits and vegetables, it is recommended to take synthetic vitamins, especially vitamin C.
2. Qingli liquor in Qinghai Tibetan area is quite intoxicating. It is suitable to drink two-thirds of the ordinary white liquor.
3. The butter tea and other food in Tibetan area are not suitable for the intestines and stomachs of the mainlanders and cannot be eaten more. There is a local custom that the empty bowl of buttered tea for guests must be refilled, so it is recommended to keep the two thirds of the buttered tea in the bowl full all the time, so as not to hurt the feelings of the Tibetan people and protect themselves. It is recommended to take anti cathartic drugs such as huangliansu.
4. Mosques generally do not welcome non muslims to visit during the worship time, but Muslim worship is really worth seeing. You should ask for permission before visiting and taking photos. The best way is to find a Muslim to take you in, and then he will arrange you to watch.
5. The celestial burial in Tibetan area is not welcome to watch. If you take photos or take photos, it will cause great trouble, so you must get the permission of your family members before you can watch, but try not to take photos.
6. If the accommodation of Tibetan tents must pay attention to dampproof, there should be a damp proof layer between the bed and the ground. If there is no professional damp proof pad, it can be replaced by plastic cloth.
7. If you are staying in a Muslim family, do not enter the kitchen without permission. Generally, non muslims are not welcome to visit the Muslim kitchen and do not enter the room of the host, especially the hostess. Do not touch religious objects. In Muslim families, diet should follow the halal standard.
8. There are many illegal people who sell Tibetan knives in the vicinity of Ta'er temple. They often gather at the gate of the temple to intimidate tourists to buy their knives and other items. When meeting these people, don't show any interest in their products, don't stop to watch, and go to the shops on both sides of the street to buy the required items. This situation also exists in some other tourist spots, so special care is needed.
9. Before leaving for other scenic spots, it is recommended to purchase enough film, battery, food, medicine and other reserves. Other cities in Qinghai rarely have a complete supply of such goods, even if any, it is very expensive.
10. There are few buses in some areas where traffic is inconvenient. You can consider taking a bus. Sometimes cigarettes are better than money when taking a bus. Pay attention to find more reliable buses, such as military cars and mail cars. Precautions for plateau tourism: areas with an altitude of more than 3000 meters are called plateau areas. It is characterized by low air pressure and low concentration of oxygen in the air, which is easy to cause hypoxia in human body, thus causing high altitude reaction. The common symptoms of altitude sickness are vomiting, tinnitus, headache, respiratory urgency, inappetence, fever, and drowsiness. In severe cases, people will suffer from dullness, emotional uncertainty, hyperactivity, memory loss, hearing, sight, smell, taste abnormality, hallucination, etc., and may also suffer from swelling, shock or spasm.
1、 Common precautions for plateau tourism:
More drinking water: due to the low humidity of the air in the plateau, the human body is easy to dehydrate. In addition, the increase of hemoglobin results in the increase of blood viscosity, which is very easy to form thrombus and cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. Therefore, drink a small amount of water constantly.
Quit smoking: the affinity of carbon monoxide and hemoglobin produced by cigarettes is 250 to 300 times that of oxygen. Smoking in large quantities will significantly aggravate the altitude response.
Learn correct breathing method: exercise test shows 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 arm, clavicle, scapula and the muscles of the trunk above the waist as auxiliary breathing, so as to increase the activity ability of the breathing system.
Just arrived at the plateau, should avoid strenuous activity and emotional excitement, avoid to wash too hot hot bath, lest accelerate body metabolism and aggravate hypoxia, cause pulmonary edema. Adhere to the dietary principles of high sugar, high vegetable protein and low fat. Sugar can provide heat quickly, make people adapt to high-intensity activities, and increase the exchange of oxygen ventilation. Excessive fat and animal protein can aggravate high altitude reaction. High altitude reaction is easy to lead to insomnia, you can take valium tablets to ensure adequate sleep.
In addition, people under the age of 16 and over 60, people with anemia, diabetes, serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic lung diseases, people with mental diseases and pregnant women are not suitable for plateau tourism.
2、 Some common knowledge about altitude response:
1. For patients with high altitude disease, oxygen supply and height reduction are the most effective first aid treatment. 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 place where there is no wind, immediately lie in bed and rest, pay attention to keeping warm, prevent upper respiratory tract infection, and prohibit drinking a lot of water at the same time.
3. If the pain is serious, take analgesics to relieve pain. If the patient is still unable to adapt, the height should be reduced until the patient feels comfortable or the symptoms are significantly reduced. Generally speaking, the patients with high altitude reaction can be cured without treatment when they are reduced to the level of the ground. Nevertheless, serious patients still need to be sent to hospital.

3、 Tips:
1. What should I do if I can't breathe when I sleep on the plateau at night?
Hypoxia at high altitude affects ventilation. People often feel that they are in a hurry to breathe, gasping heavily and not sleeping steadily. This is a normal situation. It is suggested that sleeping in the plateau area at night should be done by raising the head as much as possible or trying to sit and sleep, so as to make breathing easier.
2. Will you take oxygen just after you go to the plateau?
First of all, it is not recommended that people rush to take oxygen when they enter the plateau for the first time, because this will affect the timely establishment of the adaptability of human body to the altitude of the plateau and the climatic conditions. Of course, it is suitable for people with relatively small altitude response. If the high altitude reaction is serious and the body is weak, it is recommended to take oxygen in time, especially at night, because it helps to reduce the symptoms of high altitude reaction, obtain good rest and maintain physical strength.
3. How to raise plateau skin?
It is suggested that skincare products with high sun protection index should be used in plateau areas, especially the nose, cheekbones and ear root parts of the face should be fully applied, because the skin of these parts is tender, more prone to sunburn and peeling. Sunscreen can not be cheap, sunscreen factor is better than 15. Sunscreen needs to be applied for a period of time and combined with the skin, in order to play the best effect. It's hard to avoid sweating during the trip. It's better to apply it every hour or two. It's necessary to wear a hat, but don't take it too tightly. It's easy to grow beans on the forehead. At the same time, pay special attention to the lips. In Tibet, lips are easy to crack. Be sure to prepare lipstick.
In addition, maintaining peace of mind is conducive to maintaining your skin; even if the conditions are sometimes difficult, eat more fruits and vegetables. Another way to keep your skin good is to wash your face before you go to bed at night. You'd better not wash your face when you get up in the morning. For long-term field activities over 10 days, if you don't have good sanitary conditions, you'd better not wash your face. Generally, the ash puff has a protective effect on the skin. Of course, a little butter will have a better effect. It's a little dirty. I'm afraid it's too clean and easy to sunburn.
4. How about wearing contact lenses on the plateau?
The most important thing to pay attention to when wearing contact lenses is cleaning. If there is a big sandstorm in the plateau area, it is recommended not to wear them. However, whether or not to wear contact lenses has little to do with altitude.
5. When I first arrived at the plateau, I felt fever and ear back. Is it normal?
Because people's blood pressure at high altitude will be higher than that in plain areas, so it's normal for the body to feel hot. Generally, the temperature at high altitude will be 0.5 ℃ to 1 ℃ higher than the normal temperature, but if it's hot
At the same time, accompanied by other physical discomfort, should be timely to the local hospital for examination, such as fever caused by the cold, patients should be quickly evacuated to a lower altitude for treatment. It is normal to have the phenomenon of the back of the ear in the plateau area, which is due to the hearing impairment caused by the lack of oxygen in the body.
6. Can I drink on the plateau?
It is suggested that people should not drink alcohol at high altitude, especially the middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old, because drinking alcohol will increase the load of heart and blood vessels, and often aggravate the high altitude reaction, and even induce the attack of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage.
4、 Other health matters
1. Pay attention to keeping warm. Wear loose and warm clothes when traveling. The temperature difference between day and night in Tibet is very large, and the early and late temperatures are low. Generally, when the altitude is increased by 1000m, the temperature will be reduced by 6 ℃, so it is necessary to keep warm. Even in summer, a coat or sweater must be prepared. It is very cold to stay in a dark temple for a long time. In addition, it's important to keep your body dry.
2. Strong sunlight and ultraviolet rays on the plateau will hurt your eyes, so you should prepare a sun hat and sunglasses. There are many ice and snow environments in Tibet. The ice and snow ground and water surface will reflect strong sunlight. If you directly expose your eyes to this environment for several hours on a sunny day, it will cause snow blindness. Therefore, it is necessary to bring snow glasses or at least good sunglasses that can filter ultraviolet rays when you are in snow line or above. Snow blind can cause temporary blindness. The slight symptoms are: blinking when you are sensitive to light, sand, pain, red eyes and tears in your eyes. In case of snow blindness, wash eyes with eyedrops, cover eyes in the dark place or with eye mask and chill with cold towel, reduce the use of eyes and try to rest. A good rest and soothing environment can relieve the symptoms of snow blindness in time, but it usually takes 5-7 days to recover completely.
3. Take some ointment and Runhou tablets for external use, which can relieve the discomfort of nose and throat caused by angle drying.
4. It is suggested that you take the following drugs with you: jinsherkang, American ginseng lozenges, aspirin, bilitong, Niuhuang Jiedu tablet, Ganmaoling, Houyan pill, cough water, white flower oil, vitamin C pill, stomach medicine, gauze, eye medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine. It is recommended to prepare a small medicine box of different sizes, put the large one in the backpack and take the small one with you.
5. Watch out for heatstroke. The sunshine on the plateau is terrible, especially in summer when doing long outdoor activities. Therefore, outdoor travel activities on the plateau must be equipped with cool oil, human pills and so on, and drink more water. In case of heatstroke, it is necessary to move it to a cool and ventilated place as soon as possible, raise the head and shoulders to lie down, take off the coat and wet the patient's underwear with water, fan continuously and wipe the patient's body with a cold towel to reduce the patient's temperature. When the patient is awake, he should be hydrated.
How does appear hypoglycemia do?
1. Whether you are travelling or sightseeing, you should prepare several sweets in your pocket. Chocolate and fruit candy are better. To eat breakfast on time, once you don't have breakfast or eat too little breakfast and feel nervous and hungry before lunch, you should eat a few sweets immediately, which will return to normal in about 10 to 15 minutes.
2. If possible, you can immediately make a cup of thick sugar water to drink. If you don't have candy on your body during the journey, you can drink some sugar drinks or eat some other food, or you can return to normal, just a little slower in time.
3. If the tourist partner has hypoglycemia and suddenly faints to the ground, he / she should immediately lie on his / her back and rest, loosen the buttons of his / her clothes and waistband, and let him / her take some concentrated sugar water or sweet drink, juice, etc., which can be relieved quickly.
