What is the altitude difference between Qinghai and Tibet? There is no altitude sickness in Qinghai, and there will be no altitude sickness in Tibet?

The average altitude in Qinghai Province is about 3,000 meters, and that in Tibet is about 4,000 meters, with a difference of about 1000 meters. Altitude sickness is mainly related to altitude difference. Altitude sickness is likely to occur when the altitude difference between the two places is more than 2000 meters, so it depends on the specific altitude difference between Qinghai and Tibet.

First, the altitude of Qinghai.

Qinghai Province is located in the northwest of China, including two cities and six autonomous prefectures. Xining city is about 2500 meters above sea level, and other counties are above 3000 meters above sea level. Haidong area is about 2000 meters above sea level and belongs to a relatively low city in Qinghai. Haixi District is about 3000 meters above sea level, and other counties and cities are above 3600 meters above sea level. The altitude of Hainan is above 3 100 meters. Haibei urban area is about 3 100 meters above sea level. Huangnan city is about 2500 meters above sea level, and some counties reach an altitude of more than 5000 meters. Yushu city is about 3700 meters above sea level, and some counties and cities reach 5000 meters. Guoluo City is about 3,700 meters above sea level, and most county towns are above 4,000 meters above sea level.

Second, the altitude of Tibet.

Tibet, like Qinghai, belongs to the plateau region, mainly including Lhasa, Namco, Linzhi, Xigaze, Shannan, Qamdo, Naqu and Ali. Among them, Lhasa is about 3,700 meters above sea level, and some counties and cities such as Somi County are more than 4,600 meters above sea level. Linzhi area, as the lowest altitude area in Tibet, has also reached about 3000 meters. Shigatse is more than 4000 meters above sea level, Namco is more than 4700 meters above sea level, and Naqu and Ali are more than 4500 meters above sea level. The altitudes of Shannan and Qamdo are basically the same as those of Lhasa.

Third, altitude sickness.

Because the oxygen content in the air at high altitude is relatively low, ordinary people will lack oxygen and produce various diseases, which is altitude sickness. The occurrence of altitude sickness is mainly related to altitude difference. People who live in Xining go to Lhasa, and the direct height difference between the two places is about 1200m, so healthy people will not have altitude sickness. If people who live in Xining go to the base camp of Mount Everest in Tibet, the altitude difference is above 2500, and there is a high probability that altitude sickness will occur at this time.
