🧳A list of pitfalls to avoid for families with children
1. Altitude sickness: Drink Rhodiola rosea in advance, prepare oxygen cylinders and medicines, and choose electric vehicles + horseback riding for children with poor physical strength
2. Clothing guide: The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the mountain top is windy, so bring thermal underwear, fleece jackets, and windproof jackets; children should bring one-piece down jackets and knee pads
3. Safety tips: The Milk Sea and the Five-Colored Sea are at high altitudes. If your child is breathing heavily, give up the long line decisively; carry a garbage bag with you to protect the pure land✅
