IV、Notes

1.  Good mental quality is the panacea for overcoming and defeating altitude sickness. A large number of examples show that maintaining an open and optimistic mood can reduce the physical discomfort caused by altitude sickness. Take care not to catch a cold before going to Xizang.

2  Keep an open and optimistic mood. Drinking butter tea, dairy products, chocolate and beef jerky in moderation during the journey can enhance your adaptability to the plateau climate.

3.  Xizang is a minority area. Please respect the local customs and habits. Especially in religious places, respect their beliefs and do not violate the relevant taboos in your behavior.

4.  Tourism reception conditions in Xizang are limited, and accommodation, dining and scenic spot conditions are relatively backward compared to developed tourist areas. It is hoped that tourists will treat them with tolerance so as not to affect their interest in traveling.

5.  People with severe high blood pressure or heart disease should not go to Xizang. Please do not bring a severe cold into Xizang.

6.  When you first arrive at the plateau, drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fruits, refrain from alcohol and tobacco, do not walk fast, and do not run. It is best to spend half a day completely resting. On the first night, go to bed early and get plenty of sleep. This rule should start when you get off the plane. Many people get off the plane and think they don't have any altitude sickness. As a result, the symptoms only show up in the evening and it's too late to regret.

7  Don't use coins when giving alms to beggars on the road, and don't use coins when donating in temples either. When you come across a child asking for money on the road, if you give one, a group will gather around. Keep an eye on valuable items on Barkhor Street.
