✅ plateau travel instructions:
1. People who are not suitable for traveling to the plateau
: Patients with obvious lesions of the heart, lungs, brain, liver, and kidneys, as well as severe anemia or hypertension, should not blindly enter the plateau. If you have never been on a plateau, it is recommended that you undergo a strict physical examination before entering the plateau. Tourists with organic diseases, severe anemia or severe hypertension are less adaptable to the plateau environment. In the early stage of entering the plateau, the risk of acute altitude sickness is significantly higher than that of others. If you stay on the plateau for too long, you are also more susceptible to various chronic altitude sickness than others. At the same time, because the body has to adapt to the plateau environment, the compensatory activities of important organs such as the liver, lungs, heart, and kidneys are enhanced, which increases the burden on these organs. Once these organs are diseased, the condition will be further aggravated.If you are not sure whether you can participate in the Huanglong Ruoerge activity, it is recommended that you consult an experienced doctor and try to be in line with the principle of stability;

2. Precautions on the way to the plateau (key points)
(1). Oxygen and drugs for the prevention and treatment of acute altitude sickness should be prepared as much as possible, such as nifenyridine (also known as heart pain), aminophylline, etc., and cold-preventing drugs, antibacterial and vitamin drugs should also be prepared just in case. Due to the cold climate of the plateau and the large temperature difference between day and night, you should pay attention to preparing enough cold clothes to prevent colds. Both cold and respiratory infections may promote acute altitude sickness;
(2). If there are more severe symptoms of altitude sickness on the way to the plateau, they should be treated immediately, and take aminophylline or nifepyridine 20 mg sublingually in time. In severe cases, oxygen should be inhaled. If severe chest tightness, severe cough, dyspnea, cough up pink foamy sputum, or unresponsiveness, apathy, or even coma, in addition to the above treatment, go to a nearby hospital for rescue as soon as possible, or transfer to a lower altitude area as soon as possible for treatment and recovery;

✅ Travel tips:
Take a sightseeing bus at the entrance of the scenic spot, visit Shuzhenggou and Zecha Wagou to sit on the left, and Zegou must sit on the right side on the day of the tour Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area It is forbidden to fly drones, and the yellow dragon can fly In the plateau area, if there is a slight high reaction symptom, slow down the travel speed, and do not do too strenuous exercise The driving distance is relatively long, bring some glucose or high-calorie food, and you can replenish your physical strength on the way
