What should I pay attention to when traveling to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? Do you have any preventive measures? How to take care of a poor traveling companion?
Experts suggest that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau should pay attention to the "Three Preventions" central government portal website www.gov.cn June 2008 18 Source: Xinhua News Agency Font: Large, medium and small email recommendation Xinhua News Agency Xining June 17 (Reporter Zhao Weibin, Wen Yiwei) As it is located in the plateau environment, tourists need to take certain protective measures while playing to ensure healthy travel. Experts suggest that plateau tourism should pay attention to cold, warmth, ultraviolet and infectious diseases. According to Wu Tianyi, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and an expert on altitude sickness, the temperature in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau varies greatly, with a large temperature difference between day and night, which often changes every day. Cold may cause high altitude pulmonary edema, so be sure to bring enough clothes, gloves, scarves, etc. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is covered with quilts all year round. If you want to live in a tent in the wild, you should choose a duvet with good cold resistance. The plateau has strong ultraviolet rays and long sunshine time, especially after heavy snow or above the snow line. Good quality sunglasses should be used to reduce the damage to the eyes. If not equipped, temporary use of ordinary flat or nearsighted glasses can also reduce the stimulation of ultraviolet rays and prevent snow blindness at high altitude. At the same time, we should reserve high-quality sunscreen to prevent ultraviolet rays from harming the skin. Generally, wipe it 20 minutes before going out and add it again before going out. The effect is good. You should wear sunscreen even indoors or in a car with direct sunlight. At the same time, make good use of various auxiliary items, such as sun umbrellas, hats and long-sleeved clothes. , to resist the invasion of ultraviolet rays. Plague is the most common infectious disease in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, followed by "hare fever". Visitors should pay attention to prevent contact with marmots, and don't look around the marmot hole curiously to avoid catching plague. Marmots are widely distributed along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Don't touch the woodchucks to death, let alone skin them. Groundhog fur is absolutely forbidden to take on the train. In addition, as long as you don't chase rabbits and get bitten by rabbits, you won't get "rabbit fever". Experts suggest that it is best to "adapt to the ladder step by step". Xinhua News Agency, Xining, June 17 (Reporter Zhao Weibin, Yang Shoude) After the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the mysterious Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is no longer far away. July is coming, and the golden month of plateau tourism is coming. The clear water grassland, snowy customs and national culture are attracting more and more people. However, directly entering the area above 3000 meters above sea level from the plain is easy to cause altitude sickness. Experts suggest that it is best to follow the principle of "gradual progress and gradual adaptation". The west-Gege section of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway will cross the Guanjiao Tunnel at an altitude of 3,698 meters. From Golmud (2808 meters above sea level) to Kunlun Mountain Pass (4767 meters above sea level), the Jiela section rose by 2000 meters in less than two hours, and then basically operated above 4000 meters above sea level. Wu Tianyi, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and an expert on altitude sickness, said that if people from the sea level or plains rush into such an anoxic environment within two to three days, their bodies are prone to acute altitude sickness or other anoxic problems, and there is no physiological adjustment process. Wu Tianyi suggested that the best step adaptation plan is to set the first stop of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau trip in Xining. The altitude is 226 1 m, with a medium altitude, which is the best place to adapt to the ladder. Mild short-term hypoxia can stimulate human physiological function, activate heart, lung, blood, nerve and other functional activities, and produce initial acclimatization. The second stop is arranged in Golmud, which is the starting point of the Golmud section of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and the altitude is still below 3,000 meters. Moderate hypoxia can further improve the level of acclimatization. Stay here for 2 ~ 3 days, and you can visit Chaerhan Salt Lake, Dulan Tomb, Millennium Populus euphratica Forest, as well as charming deserts, Gobi, Ya Dan landforms, red willows and camels. After two stages of altitude acclimatization, and then traveling to higher altitude areas such as Tanggula Mountain, Lhasa and Tibet, altitude sickness will be greatly reduced or even absent, which will help to maintain a good attitude and abundant energy.
