A Guide to Having Fun in Tibet Without Getting Ripped Off

📍Attraction address: Tibet

🚗Attraction Transportation:
🚙Self-driving: It is not recommended for friends who come to Tibet for the first time and have no experience driving on the plateau💦. The attractions in Tibet are far apart. Self-driving is not only easy to get lost, but altitude sickness for the driver is really terrible😖. The roads in Tibet have unexpectedly large curves, and some sections are very rugged. It is easy to get into trouble if you are not familiar with the road conditions.

💗Other tips:
1️⃣Wear comfortable shoes. Many attractions in Tibet require hiking, and uncomfortable shoes can easily tire your feet.
2️⃣Bring a windbreaker to protect against the wind. The wind here can be strong. It is best to bring a furry hat.
3️⃣It is recommended to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, moisturizing face cream, body lotion, etc., because it is really dry here.
4️⃣Bring as little makeup as possible. As the altitude increases, many cosmetics will become inflated, so be careful when opening them.
✅Things to note to relieve altitude sickness
1. Don't use oxygen as soon as you have a headache😘. It is easy to become dependent on oxygen tanks, and you will not be able to leave the oxygen tank for the entire trip.
2. It is recommended to stop aerobic exercise one month before entering Tibet😉, because the body's dependence on oxygen cannot be changed in the short term.
3. Don't jump around as soon as you land. If you don't have altitude sickness temporarily, you will regret it later😱.
4. Relax, take your time, and don't keep talking about altitude sickness.
