It seems to go bad areas everywhere need a pair of good shoes, especially in Tibet such a place. The most important criteria for a good shoe should first be adapted to local conditions on the ground, and then to protect the feet, strong and lightweight. At a time when we went to Tibet, the rainy season, but also the highest annual rainfall in recent years. So waterproof also more important.
Bamboo band MARLBORO field a pair of shoes fight the outside skin, the price of 300 yuan more. Plus a pair of sandals.
Slowly with the field of a pair of CAT sports shoes, the surface is a mixture of leather and synthetic materials, the price a little more than 800. Plus a pair of slippers.
I brought in a pair of Italian professional PIVETTA rock shoes, a leather surface is the whole package, the price 8 years ago, seems to be a little more than 4,000. Plus a pair of field REEBOX multifunctional sports shoes.
From this time we follow this line of view, is undoubtedly the most rational allocation slowly, her shoe soles attached to the CAT is better, waterproof and comfort are also quite good. In comparison, bamboo shoes waterproof weak point, soles of the materials are also not quite right. And my shoes, though the most professional and most expensive, but the weight of 6 kg is a little too much, so I was often not very comfortable wearing a pair of REEBOK.
It should be noted that we only slowly brought the slippers, had to admit that she is more adept than we actually enjoy the journey, especially my bathroom barefoot in the Champlain washed back to more of the experience, after a bath.
Speaking of shoes, in Tibet there is a place to play no matter what good shoes are not used to, that is Medog. Medog road is too bad, If you go to Medog, the most suitable shoes I am afraid that is the military's high-Gang Jiefang Xie, and then play in the above leggings. Other better shoes, Oh, I like the PIVETTA, will be quick to damage to Ali's on the road.
Of course, just having a good pair of shoes can not cope with, as we like most people in Tibet trip (professional conduct HIKING of the heroes we can not more than a). Therefore, there are two things I need to mention.
The first thing is: the aircraft. Here I would like to specifically talk about the whole Tibet issue.
With regard to Tibet's tourism, incorrectly relay erroneous messages have been a lot of things. Of these, my most hated is about to go flying over the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Tibet adapt more easily to mountain sickness argument. I do not know how many people harmed.
Mountain sickness is actually a man's own function to adapt to high altitude hypoxia in a process. Actually, for most people is concerned, if measures are successfully implemented, then this process should not be a problem, however, seems to have been engaged in people's hearts softened so that a comparison horrible.
The bamboo and are slowly fly up, and they come on, I forced their absolute bed rest, slept the next day up essentially nothing to matter, and then until Everest Ali could no longer do nothing. If you fly on Tibet, generally speaking, the first day there may be very mild such as headache, rapid heartbeat and other feelings, but if you can immediately spot a break, these will disappear after 24 hours; the next few days, as long as careful not to carried out violent activities, you basically do not feel much of altitude sickness. (Of course, let's Forum are HASS503CXI such heroes ---- one of the straight up like a champ on the Jianbu Jokhang Temple, at night and our booze highland barley wine, until the night finally get on the ground of complete)
However, the car on the Qinghai-Tibet line is another matter. Although theoretically more slow to adapt to the highland plateau, but in fact, the Qinghai-Tibet line from it. First of all, the Qinghai-Tibet line is a difficult and long lines, along with room and board conditions are extremely limited, and, walking along the train day and night are often open, non-stop. This also means that you have to eat not so good, body resistance relatively poor circumstances, but also bumps around the clock (the Qinghai-Tibet Road, the road we all know), but the height of the Tanggula pass is 5231 meters, Lhasa is much higher than 3650 meters, in which case, obviously, is very easily lead to relatively strong reaction to high altitudes of the.
Moreover, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is more troublesome is the medical problems. In the Qinghai-Tibet line is basically do not have any more good medical conditions. We all know that if a very severe reaction to high altitudes or in cold time of the plateau, it is more prone to high altitude pulmonary edema generally speaking, 24-hour or so would lead to death. Usually, shuttle walking time of the Qinghai-Tibet line, should be far more than 24 hours, not to mention the Qinghai-Tibet line also often because of road problems are patched up and stopped frequently on a few or even on your 10 hours, so shuttle bus from Golmud to the Lhasa usually takes 40-50 hours. Once there was a reaction, in which the risk of self-evident.
As Tibet's mountain sickness in medical technology is now the absolute leading position in the world, in fact, in Lhasa, especially in the Autonomous Region in Lhasa People's Hospital of years (in two subjects, mountain sickness Cardiovascular Research Institute), to deal with altitude sickness already have a set of very effective treatments, from the oxygen to the medication, until the most complex cardiac catheterization, basically as long as you have bad breath live into, no matter how serious, quasi-live for bouncing the out; the plane, not to mention just a little bit little to respond.
Although every visitor to Tibet's brother would certainly have had to endure hardship well mentally prepared, but I think it is really no need to take your body or life to test the risk of the Qinghai-Tibet line.
If you really want to see the scenery of Qinghai-Tibet line, I think, in the back on the road is the best, then essentially adapted to the plateau should have been the case, to the security of many.
In summary, we have learned about the safety of the method of the plateau, the main points are:
1 If you are a cold, it is best not to rush to Lhasa on a plateau 3 to 2 on the plane after one day of absolute bed rest in Lhasa in 24 hours on four not taking a bath to avoid the flu first arrived five days before the action to be playful, multi - clothes.
The second thing to mention is this: the Land Cruiser.
Although many off-road vehicles have good durability, but in Tibet, where there is only one car can dominate.
LandCruiser in Tibet, the most common travel is one of the most practical vehicles. Is generally known as the Land Cruiser (we call it the following to save trouble in LC), the locals tend to direct called "Toyota."
LC There are many models, from the earliest type 60,62 until 75,80, to the later sections of the more luxurious 4500. Generally speaking, now in Tibet, travel agencies in the run up to 62 or 60 and Toyota, both truck and then the new 4500 though not as comfortable, it is a steel suspension system, so it is more suitable for some people like Ali , Qamdo, Nagqu such a bad line.
60.62 Toyota in Tibet, their prices are generally within the local bin should be 3.5 - 4.0 yuan from top to bottom. Good luck can also be cheaper. Generally speaking, the travel agencies have their own cars, but car travel directly to transportation company (or team: For example, possession of two hotels) prices may be little room for negotiation is even greater.
75 Toyota is a very good LC, in particular, some models add a dual-fuel tank, so that is particularly suitable to run Eli Nan line, northern Tibet pairs of lakes that line is not easy to add oil. However, Tibet, the number 75 Toyota is very little harder to find.
Of course, 4500 is the best LC vehicles, especially those known as "Desert King" of the new. However, if we are not too many opportunities to use it on the jump in the past is not to say. Really should be off-road enthusiasts who are interested, would no longer alone talk about it.
Of course, other off-road vehicle manufacturers, there are many good off-road vehicles, but taking into account the maintenance and repair problems, most of them not suitable for LC then in Tibet, the use of. Naturally, a lot of people want to ask about Beijing 2020 and the Cherokee in Tibet performance. Oh, That's a very good answer.
Although there are many places to test your repair techniques, however, Tibet's 2020 vehicle for a loving master a game is absolutely heaven. 2 020 where you may encounter any problems (of course, may also be what the problems are out, Oh, but that belongs to a small probability event, almost impossible to happen). Open 2020 on the plateau is indeed quite difficult.
Cherokee, was not it say problem. In fact, Cherokee is a very good off-road vehicles, and the LC compared with the performance not quite right, but considering the price factor, it should be. In fact from the performance, it is also good enough for us. But the Cherokee's suspension is indeed too soft, and less rugged, less to adapt to Tibet road. Beijing now have such technology, can be very convenient Cherokee's suspension changed to a more rigid suspension, and while improving ground clearance Cherokee, cost is not too expensive. If you intend to use Cherokee on Tibet, then I suggest you do first such modification.
In addition, I strongly recommended to prepare a bicycle on the Tibet's brother: In Tibet, self-help winch very useful. If so, try to carry a longer follow.
The second weapon: money
Where travel is not as if money is not very convenient, Tibet is the same.
And we all know, in Tibet, travel is very expensive.
On how to Tibet, with less or even no cost way to travel, I think now, in addition to public funds when the Commissioner and tourism, is also no better idea. Is estimated that all of you and I are similar, then I would first like to talk about how good you are with the budget for Tibet tour.
In Tibet, is undoubtedly the most expensive transport costs, not one of the ways to solve their own car up, you can open back, you can also sell locally. If the car rental, then travel company in theory should be better than travel cheaper. Of course, the ride certainly cheaper than car rental. Ali, the general went to the ride is 500, and comes back around 360. There are others like Nyingchi Nagqu bus, you do not ride has. If it is a short ride, as if the driver's line price is 10-20 yuan / 100 kilometers / person. Of course, good drivers have not run into money.
There is also a sure way is to take long-distance vehicles, known locally as "bus." In Tibet, in addition to Ali, the region, other regions are generally open to traffic to the county. Of course, the shuttle is not every day, generally very little time that conditions are relatively poor, we must make preparations for it.
I know that many people, especially not the first time on Tibet, tourists prefer to be in Lhasa, a very long time, in fact, rented an apartment in Lhasa is a good way to save money, probably 300-500 a month is enough a.
More to say nonsense ah. To save money on the premise that security, be sure to pay attention.
Probably there is a lot of people on how to travel budget. Go to Tibet, the budget basically include such items:
1 traffic.
The upper and lower Tibet, flight from Chengdu to Lhasa is 1200; Lhasa will be cheaper if the non-stop Beijing, 1950; sleeper car from Golmud to Lhasa is 172 yuan. Up and down in Tibet as well as in Tibet, the price is basically the internal bus is 10 km / 1 yuan, we can calculate the best approximation to this ratio. Of course, as we all know, a lot of lines, not all will be more shuttle departure and arrival time. The cost of rental, we talked about above in detail.
In addition, recently went to Ali relatively hot in the summer, to Ali, the general 20 days, the average between the Land Cruiser around 12000-15000, means 60 or 62 type, 4500 of course, be much more expensive. Truck approximately 5000-8000 or so. To Nyingchi, Qamdo is about 3-3.5 yuan / km.
If the cost of transportation should also include some of the more heterogeneous vehicles: we can come into contact with are: ferry. Go to Ali in the Samye Monastery, as well as some of crossing the road Nyingchi people or vehicles crossing the charges are not expensive. However, be careful Samye ferry passengers bamboo bar some knock habits, the best and go to North Korea along with incense mixed with the ordinary people by boat. In addition, the ferry is usually time-limited, generally only the afternoon of the morning because as otherwise, they should look carefully beg comrades of the ferry workers.
In addition, sometimes rented a yak at the local or rent a horse. Especially in Tibet, some places do when on foot. Generally speaking, in northern Tibet, Qamdo rental cost comparison of horses off the mark, in the Nyingchi more than is necessary to good (of course, like the idle Nyingchi sometimes what the next drug, and sometimes trouble). From Ganden Monastery to Samye Monastery there is a good walk route that is sure to rent yaks. Of course, when you rent the animals must have an understand the local language translation, In addition, you should have people who care for animals.
2 Accommodation Lhasa and Shigatse, Gyantse, Nagqu and Nyingchi 81, mountain Minamisawa when other major cities have good hotels, and other general, each county has its own guest house, but the condition is, it is the opposite, the price more in between 20-30, you can also try to counter-offer. In general we are interested in Ali, Nyingchi line some areas (even smaller than the town) also has guest houses. Conditions, that is, more than tents strengths, of course, I am afraid not tents clean, the price is almost around 20-30.
Bamboo band that I found on this LP have more complete information and prices around the hotel, came back to listen to Tony Wu said, Let the Forum Moderators do their own LP, indeed, if we determined to help tidy up this area of the Sina information, the future should be very convenient.
In addition, in many places, drivers are not pulling guest accommodation, and so into the hotel (or hostel) and the clerk asked for time to clear.
With regard to money, there is one thing to mention about some things with cash:
One in Lhasa and in Tibet, other places is that only China Construction Bank, Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China. Love meant to be played in the Mainland Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Tibet, there is no branch. Therefore, the ICBC Peony Card in Tibet can not be used! !
2 carry with cash, I think that if Tibet's stolen something less robbery. The few of us got any money approach is also different. My sure way is the easiest, I take the Qinghai-Tibet line, when put put the money hidden in my passport bag climbing bag. My bag is approximately 80 liters of mountaineering, and coupled with a large plug-in tripod, sleeping bags, etc. Basically, it can be said is enormous; in addition nearly 70 kilograms of weight, I believe that is unlikely to take away, steal point What is not much convenient.
Lhasa's public security in the country's big cities should be regarded as quite good. The following areas are also good people. With the local people said that in Lhasa, to beware of what some of the looting and stealing of Muslim children and young people. They Kebu Xiang Hui brothers elsewhere in the Northwest so amiable.
The third weapon: Down
In Tibet, tourists are generally wide variety of clothing. The streets of Lhasa in the summer, you can see someone wearing a down jacket that you can also see people wearing shorts and, of course, it was also wearing a down jacket upper body, lower body in shorts.
With what the clothes and where you plan to go as well as the season has a lot to. Slowly and bamboo as had long been planned to go to team, so ready for them. I belong to the kind of move, the original plan had been to stay in Lhasa, where not to go. Later, when Ali decided to go at ourselves running around in circles, thanks to co-workers to help through some of my clothes Oh, otherwise catch up with those in the Everest Field in July, when snow, it is necessary a frozen into popsicles.
Here, probably talk about in Tibet, what clothes should be:
1, down jacket,
Unless you were only intended to go to Lhasa Qiba Yue, Japan and Cameroon to participate in a group tour, otherwise I really can not imagine Tibet travel may not bring down jackets. When we went to Ali, the general up and down all night in sub-zero; in Everest base camp when they caught up with the heavy snow (in July ah). In my impression, as if every day Tianyi dusk bamboo pieces put his thick down jacket to wear up.
Most of the time I was wearing pieces of a very warm goose down vest, and then add a cold when the wind Gone Tex jacket. In addition, I also control the local colleagues made use of a gigantic "super feather Overlord." It seems also very limited through the times, such as that snow in the Mount Everest of the wind.
2, I want to emphasize the importance of waterproof clothing.
We are the three individuals, Shanshan brought a waterproof jacket, her shoes are also water-resistant; Bamboo old Brother seems to have brought in addition to the foot of Huangshan kind of a cheap raincoat is no shelter from the rain outside the re-equipment, we are back to to catch up with the back foot in the holy mountains of hail, I reckon he was covered in addition to camera bags of miles away, there is nothing dry place, (and our counterparts in Guangdong girl with another piece of bamboo poncho did not, splashing back to crouch at the time under it.)
I head to toe, are all Gone-tex products, so do not wear too much inside as long as things became, even in the rain to be a long time and then there will not be the problem. However, the clothes of such a genuine almost nearly ten thousand, if not always in the rain to do, seems to have no need for provisioning such a high performance apparel, general water on it.
In Tibet, the seven, in August, almost every day to the next something, waterproof clothing is not good, it is inconceivable.
In fact, we go to Ali, fairly good, Nyingchi and other regions for more rain in the summer.
3 warm and waterproof clothing is tailor-made clothes after leaving the subject of the.
Prior to the walk, VEGA-X had urged me to put on Du Gang sweat underwear, did not consider the down to the next area, so only took wool thermal underwear. If you go to Tibet, there is on foot or mountain climbing, or should be prepared to sweat a set of underwear. Playing field and mountain climbing are all brothers should know that in the wild, sweat sticking on the body is relatively cumbersome, and it will quickly take away your body heat, in the wild, but also very dangerous.
Generally speaking, in Tibet to conduct field activities, sweat underwear and thermal underwear are needed. In addition, the warm sweaters what is necessary.
Speaking of clothing, there are some small bits that we must band. For example, visor, gloves, spare socks, paper underpants are the things that I feel should be prepared.
The fourth weapon: sleeping bag
Sleeping problems
Obviously, if your travel is limited to large cities such as Lhasa, Shigatse, Gyantse, Zetang these places, sleeping bags are not a great use, since these cities tourism facilities, hotels are better, but if you out of the top in several places, sleeping bags, or Tibet travel must be one of the equipment.
3 of our trip to Ali's people have brought sleeping bags, in which bamboo belt is an extremely large, it may be 2 kilograms of duck down sleeping bag, I brought is a 1 kg duck down sleeping bag, but slowly out of misunderstanding along with a thin lightweight fabric pocket.
Road most of the time of our accommodation are not really very good, nor bad, but the need to sleep on the procedure, generally along the Ali are able to provide a house guest houses, bed and do not clean the quilt, plus another seven , August Tibet, the warmest season of the sleeping bag is not very strict requirements.
Bamboo is an exception, of course, he many times by his unusual warm sleeping bag cover their sleep too long, had again and again to unlock the sleeping bag's zipper, and finally late at night was almost frozen into a cold! !
Moisture-proof pad on the issue. This time we do not bring moisture-proof pad. The reason is, I think it does not bring tents, they need not carry moisture-proof pad, the facts will prove that my thinking is wrong. In one day we need to spend the night in the Shishapangma Protection Station, when comrades Protection Station can provide us with only an empty stone houses, and we only have sleeping bags, ground pads can not find anything that can things, the end we had to sleep in the car. In fact, if there are cars, moisture-proof pad does not amount to a big burden, if possible, or should bring.
Speaking of the sleeping bag, they also inevitably have to mention a few words about camping issues. A few years ago, as a result of reasons, coupled with the prevailing conditions, we often have to Tibet around the camp, and all localities there are some things to note.
1, Tibet, northern and western regions at night the wind was relatively large, should pay special attention to the selection of a good wind-resistant tents. But also to lay the ground pile, rope properly tied, if you can, best to keep the tent ropes tied to the car.
2, Tibet, in many places during the rainy season and the rainy season will be the night before and after the pelting rain, tent, when the election addresses to be careful, do not let flooded or let falling rock smashed into, if really necessary, it is best dug around the tent on the water ditch;
3, in the Himalayas, northern Tibet, Nyingchi is a small animal with many rodents, it is best to be careful of their camping supplies inside at night to steal food. Is best to eat into the car or tent. If placed outside, get some small things okay, if tease the bear to speak pretty annoying. In addition, pure leather shoes are also careful, some grass and grassland rodents otter is like biting shoes, especially shoes belt.
More recently, the northwest corner of Lhasa, Potala Palace, the field opened an outdoor product stores also rent some tents, sleeping bags. Sleeping bag 15 yuan a day, if you only occasionally need to look at camping, such as Namco went to where the rent on it.
One final word, camping is a way are forced to, in Tibet, due to natural conditions are complex and, if possible, as far as possible, or to live in the house, for me, I usually prefer to sleep in the car, rather than go to moving tents. In addition, the general terms, and your drivers know where the guest houses, or houses can live. Moreover, in tents preferably before departure from Lhasa, and the driver lay the greeting, so that he also make corresponding preparations.
5th kinds of weapons: medical
And other parts of the different, the following elements related to mountain sickness and medicine, that I asked the Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital, Cardiovascular Institute of altitude sickness what the doctor specifically written. He doctor before leaving the Lhasa People's Hospital, has been engaged in research work related to mountain sickness, while he is also a number of years in Tibet's prominent health care doctor, and his view would no doubt be of considerable authoritative.
To know ourselves and those who challenge the plateau due to graphic material about the plateau experienced by ordinary people should be talking about on the plateau, when the discomfort felt by the body, so ready to travel on the plateau people would think a doctor should take a look, would like to understand their own to the plateau does not there will be something, but also want to win to make the journeys safer for some tips. Plain areas, however, doctors generally very difficult to have more direct pathophysiology plateau of knowledge and experience, in fact, there are not meticulous in their guidance. In view of this, this article will provide some guidance so.
In fact, there are a variety of different ways of exposure to high altitude, in China's plateau region is inhabited by a large number of people, which is most visible is the Tibetan plateau. In foreign countries, mostly plateau tourism and truly a living on the plateau for several years is not a lot. They are usually to an altitude of 1500-3000 m in the mountain village of habitable travel. Daytime years due to ski, climb or a tourist would go to a higher place, but at night or return to the same place with the original elevation. Alpine climbers will be sleeping in tents at an altitude higher may also climbed in the daytime elevation of 4000-4500 m in height, but will generally return to a lower place to stay.
Like Tibet, a place like Lhasa, 3,658 meters above sea level. In addition to the original People's Liberation Army entered Tibet on foot a large scale, and now someone has rarely had to travel long distances to go. As that of the energy, time is very precious to people who have not a favorable choice. And on the body and is also a great burden to bear.
Although the Qinghai-Tibet Highway than convenient, but more people are flying to reach the plateau. Logically speaking up on the plateau faster than the slow pressure on the body. However, according to statistical analysis, the flight into fewer than any other method that the incidence of altitude illness. Journey through the high altitudes of the longer, the more prone to altitude sickness. This may be because physical strength are used to deal with travel on the consumption of the body's adaptation to high altitude occurred difficulties.
Travel to high altitude will be faced with the risk of some symptoms of altitude sickness. The past, the old errors of these symptoms due to influenza or drunkenness. It is recorded that there will be 1200-1800 m altitude with mild symptoms, while the occurrence of severe symptoms of not less than 2700-3000 m. We must own travel fatigue also occurs in the plains of discomfort and not suited to distinguish between the plateau occurred, otherwise, will have their own scare himself.
Of tourists to Tibet by road to their body provided an opportunity to gradually adapt to the highland, but travel agents also have a lot of pressure. In fact, in some highland classic travel route will have 50% of the incidence of altitude sickness (and fly tourists in Lhasa, according to statistics, 1% of people suffering from altitude sickness! Difference!!). The other side of the Himalayas, Nepal, the statistics of such a traveler, there will be 30,000 people die from altitude sickness a year so there are 2-3 people had died.
In the plateau, the body itself, there will be a kind of adaptation mechanism in order to maximize run, this process is called adaptation. Now we come to describe the adaptation example. If a person is suddenly transported to the Mount Everest (8,848 m) that this person will in a few minutes loss of consciousness, in the 12 hours within a result of acute hypoxia and death. But we also know that more than 60 people have been in a few weeks of adaptation phase, in the absence of supplementary oxygen to summit Everest circumstances, the facts show that the adaptation process was really very amazing.
High altitude adaptation process is still poorly understood. Previous studies have focused on the gradual increase of erythropoietin, as well as on red blood cells. But now recognized that it only plays a small role, while the increase of breathing (minute ventilation), and other, more sophisticated level in the hormone and cellular adaptation may be more important. If a person is enough to slow the rise, the process of adaptation will not be effective in the occurrence of the risk of altitude sickness. If this were rising faster than the body to adapt, then there will be suffering from altitude sickness, to be raised.
Generally divided into three kinds of mountain sickness syndrome: acute mountain sickness (AMS), high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and high altitude cerebral edema (HACE). The pathological physiology of these syndromes are linked, but why some people with symptoms of brain-based, some people with pulmonary symptoms mainly do not know.
More than in the brain of acute mountain sickness symptoms, manifested as headache, loss of appetite and fatigue, headaches may develop from mild to severe pain, anorexia can lead to nausea and vomiting, fatigue can develop into an extremely weak. Sometimes, these symptoms are severe enough to become a high altitude cerebral edema. It is the diagnosis most is the emergence of consciousness change and / or body movement disorder, the rapid development of high altitude cerebral edema will be to coma and ultimately death. It can stand alone, and there may also be accompanied by high altitude pulmonary edema occur.
High altitude pulmonary edema could be with or without brain symptoms. If pulmonary symptoms appear alone, and its progress will be reduced from the activities of stamina, difficulty walking, development to severe difficulty in breathing, chest tightness, until even the sitting are difficulty in breathing, so it will quickly evolve into acute pulmonary edema, failure there would be pink color, foamy sputum.
Adaptation seems to be genetic control. Some people easily adapt to high altitude, while others can not even go to more than 10,000 feet. At present, no effective way to decide who meet the screening of a good who is difficulty adapting. Had been to the plateau is a good indicator, but comparable. For example, a person during the day in the 3,000 meters on the glide snow, does not mean that he or she flew overnight to adapt to 3000 meters on the good. However, if once flew to 3000 m and adapt well, then the next few problems arose. A person who has the last to fly 3000 meters a headache the next day, then the next time there may be the same problem. Ability to adjust is usually on the plateau to be 6-48 hours before the description. Thus, only a few hours spent on the plateau can not show the person who can adapt well.
Before the plateau should be noted that: his past physical condition, be able to environmental challenges, which may need to consult your doctor explain whether there is an important organ dysfunction; to avoid the departure of the cold, fever, common diseases like respiratory tract ; to save stamina.
The tourists arrived in Lhasa, according to statistics, 1% of people suffering from altitude sickness, so people who participate in some travel may be necessary to prevent drug use. Preventive measures include a number of proprietary Chinese medicines can be taken, such as American ginseng, Rhodiola, etc. Western medicine is now considered better nifedipine, but there are a few individuals will have headaches and other side effects, should be used under the guidance of doctors. When the beginning of the plateau to see such a magnificent mountains and rivers, the general will give people an irrepressible impulse, then must be trained to a pubic region of the gas, Qingxin few desires, consciously break a good first day, and then re-plan.
In the plateau, can be used to solve some common symptoms: Fenbid headache, vitamin B6 administration nausea, vomiting, and if still feeling unwell should be on the hospital for treatment.
Tell you a voice of experience is not carrying a big burden on the plateau, you know what that burden? Is your fear. Not only to lose a chance to prove himself, and some things are the harder you try it, you are the easier it is to get it. Moreover, the harbor fear of travel than at home, horror movies and thought the first timid to say.
6th kinds of weapons: the camera
Aimed at the general travelers about photography a few suggestions:
1, as multi-band multi-band, multi-shot film.
2, protect your camera, do not make it a long time in Tibet, sun exposure; careful Tibet the sand, do not dirty the environment, using the camera;
3, change the backlight time to film at.
4, multi-band number of spare batteries, since Tibet's low temperature will significantly reduce battery life;
5, bring all the film itself, it is best to avoid Tibet to buy film.
6, although the various film makers have cited compelling evidence that their products are the best, and I personally would like to recommend to you: Civil color negative film in the Kodak and Lucky is the performance of Tibet very good film. Your best from your personal preferences and budget, the choice of one of them.
7, in the respect and try to avoid when taking pictures disturb you who are proactive, you can send him some small gifts, but it is best not to pay for this.
8, if possible, bring a small desktop tripod and the camera flash will give you bring a lot of fun too.
Well, then the following words, that is for professional photographers or advanced amateur photographers, if you feel it is rather dull, they can not run.
7th kinds of weapons: information kit
I think the data preparation is safe and smooth travel very important thing. I have talked about the preparation of information generally includes the following things:
The first is route information.
Prior to design a good route to go. If you are in Tibet's time is not long, you can refer to a number of travel agencies team trip. If you have a plan to Tibet for a long time to travel, preferably repeated, where appropriate, in the formulation of plans to extensively solicit the views of those who have experience (Oh, of course, another way is one of the best posted to the forum so that everyone let's take a look) .
The following briefly say a few words from the land into the possession of a few lines:
Qinghai-Tibet Road: Qinghai-Tibet line, the line is relatively easy. Bus are more common. I would recommend you try to find the kind of access in the new car back to Golmud in Tibet drivers. General Santana from Golmud to Lhasa on a person is about 200, sometimes cheaper. Faster than the bus is also more comfortable. Along the way to eat not too bad. To live, basically very few people are willing, after all, is not very long road, 1,000 km more in time to catch on to. Should be noted that five beams and Tanggula pass.
How much the average person would have some reaction to the altitude, if Buxing Le, it quickly into the middle of the depot or Nagqu to rule. Be careful not to cold on the road certainly;
Sichuan-Tibet / Yunnan-Tibet line: these two directions normal to go up and takes about 7-10 days look. The scenery along the way is not to say that the main problem is the traffic conditions, one to the rainy season, landslides are very common things, difficulties you are normal a few days. Spring and autumn days, so it is best to go, is also the most beautiful scenery.
China-Nepal Highway: This highway is from Lhasa to Nepal. Of domestic tourists in general is from Lhasa to the camphor wood. Is also the rainy summer, one to the rainy season, roads are often rotten mess. Is also a good view of the Spring and Autumn days. Winter from here to Nepal is very good, all the way down, clothing and more off the less the down coat from Lhasa to Kathmandu on the left sleeve of the shorts.
Xinjiang-Tibet line: first, that I myself have not gone through this line. With regard to this line, I am sure you all know that this is a few routes into Tibet, the most dangerous, especially in industry Alexander Sakamoto and ditch the dead. On this route, first of all, I strongly (!) And suggest that you take as much as possible to avoid this line from Xinjiang, Tibet. If you really want to go from the Ali-Tibet line must go on. After all, then a short span of 3 days time, more than 900 meters above sea level in Xinjiang, climbed over a mountain pass over 6000 meters and then stop to more than 4500 meters Ali, coupled with complex and changeable climate, certainly more than a lot of the human body to withstand the normal limits of . Ali met with a lot of our recent trip to Xinjiang, just up from the visitors, almost every one we are all active in his treatment, medical care and medicine, so I hope we care! !
One more thing, although at the forum said, but still want to say again, that is, approval documents on the issue of foreigners in Tibet.
Many brothers probably all know that foreign countries have regulations on travel to Tibet must have the approval of travel or the foreign affairs department and obtain a travel orders, authorizations must also be in a tourist vehicle and guided the case of the approval document to the extent permitted travel.
I personally hate the right of Tibet makes irresponsible remarks about foreigners, and I am very opposed to all those without documents relating to foreigners to bring Tibet.每年都会有一些没有批件的老外试图从青藏、川藏甚至新藏线进入西藏 ，这里面有一些是打算做自助旅行的游客，但里面也有一些是因为种种原因想绕过中国政府，到西藏找点“事儿”的。他们一般最经常的是混在背包客里，或者物色一些孤身的中国女孩，博取她们的同情。也可能有些兄弟（以及MM）是好心。但是，我要说这是一件很危险的事情，一方面是因为这本身就是违法的事，会给你自己的旅行带来麻烦；另外，有些抱着特殊目的来的老外也会给西藏找麻烦。同时，如果你的车搭载了老外，而出了什么交通意外之类，连同你的司机旅行社等等都会很难解决。所以，请大家注意，如果你是从陆路上西藏 ，一定不要帮助没有批件的老外入藏，否则，你的好心可能会毁了你爱的西藏 。
在西藏内部旅游的路线每个人肯定有自己的打算，我要说的只有下面几点：
1 季节气候的重要性： 西藏的夏天（7，8月）是雨季，雨季的麻烦一方面是川藏/滇藏、中尼公路、以及去阿里的南线比较难走，另外，在大本营也很难看到珠峰。藏北湖区那时候也是一片泥泽。
西藏的几个地区，拉萨和日喀则及山南地区基本上全年都可以旅行；阿里地区是春秋天最好，夏天南线不太好走，冬天下雪之后基本就不太通；林芝地区夏天路不好，春天比较潮冷，秋天最美；昌都地区有飞机通，但也是雨季路极差；藏北夏天实在是没发走，春天还成，就是风沙大，秋天走最好，但是时间短，冬天走倒是方便----只要不闹雪灾！ !所以说，总体上讲，春秋天是西藏旅游最好的季节。
2 关于旅游季节：每年的7，8两个月是西藏的旅游季节，这段时间的确是西藏气候最好，最温暖的时间，每到这时候，都有大量的国内外游客蜂拥而至。 机票 ，住房，车辆都紧张且贵。
好象又一种说法这时候西藏的氧气含量最高云云。那基本属于瞎掰了，其实春秋天也差不了多少。咱们大伙能不去凑热闹就免了。而且这段时间又是西藏的雨季，建议大家最好谨慎。
3 补给的重要性：
补给的重要性主要表现在阿里和藏北的无人区上（当然大峡谷也很重要，下面再细讲），虽然一般的兄弟比较少能真的又机会到无人区转转，但是，我觉得这样的资料比较难找，所以还是一起写了。
西藏的无人区有好几块，其中最有名的就是藏北-可可西里无人区，它的范围东从青藏线往西，一直到新藏线，南起阿里南线，北一直到新疆的南疆阿尔金山。这一带由于人烟稀少，很多地方被习惯上称为无人区。其实这片地区南部有好几个县城和一些稀疏的牧民点。特别是在横穿藏北的黑阿（安多一狮泉间）公路的南侧。尤其在80年代政府提出的开发无人区的号召下，进入无人区深处的牧民人数有所增加。
藏北-可可西里无人区无疑是西藏最有魅力的旅游地区之一。那里的面积大约占到西藏整个的1/4强一点。藏北湖区是中国湖泊最为密集的湖区，又由于是自流区域，多是咸水湖，湖色各异，深邃诡秘。另外由于无人区人烟稀少，野生动物非常多，黄羊、羚羊、鹤类是极常见的，运气好的话还可以见到野牦牛。象雄王国曾在青藏高原上显赫一时，它的遗址也在无人区中心的尼玛附近。同时，由于发源并保留了藏族的原始宗教--本教，这里的宗教习俗与西藏其他地区有很大差异。但是，这里的旅游条件也是西藏各条旅游路线中最艰苦的一条，在面积广大的无人区之中可能会遇到的问题实在是太多了。
首先就是交通问题无疑交通是在无人区中的首要问题。黑河公路自东向西横穿藏北地区南部，但是这条线上并没有班车，虽然可以搭车走一下黑河公路，但显然这样浮光掠影的看一看实在是太少了。所以最好自己有车。
但即使这样，在藏北交通仍然是困难的，主要的问题来自于：
A、沿途维修加油困难，单车活动的可能性为零除了在县城和极少数的居民点外，这两个问题很难解决，特别是在黑阿公路以北的大片地区。我们几次去藏北都是有大卡车同行，除了背日用品外，最主要就是为了背油。
讲到这，我还是要强调一句，做专业的越野活动，柴油机在安全性（可以想象一辆装着几个汽油桶的卡车几乎就是一个运动着的火药桶）和性能上都要超过汽油车----虽然这个问题上咱们论坛上有过争议，实施起来也有比较大的难度。
无人区上的道路都是原来车轮压出来的简易便道，路况极差，油耗自然就高，加上无人区的平均海拔比较高（平均在4500-5000左右），大约比平原的路面上多费50%到一倍的油。
B、道路的识别和选择无人区当然是没有路标的，加上各种各样的简易便道，有些甚至是60年代的，要迷路实在是太容易了。即便是使用详细的地图（实际上对于无人区并没有什么详细而有效的地图）和卫星定位仪（GPS）还是不可能完全解决这个问题，所以一定、一定要有一位熟悉当地道路情况的牧民或司机带路。
另外，即便如此，还是应该在物资和心理上作好迷路的准备。以便一旦发生了这种情况，不致于发生混乱.
C 季节的选择肯定冬天是不适合去藏北无人区旅行的，天太冷，而且常常下雪，动辄就变成雪灾。
夏天有时候雨水大了，所有的简易便道都会变得泥泞不勘，所以春秋天应该是比较好的季节。
特别注意，一般的来讲，从9月中开始藏北一些海拔高一点的过分就开始持续降雪了，所以秋天去的时候要密切注意天气的变化。
D 通讯联络在藏北除了各个县城可以打到长途电话外，其它地方与外部联络是很困难的，我想不到除了使用卫星电话之外有任何更有效的办法。同时除了日常通讯和寻求救援之外，使用卫星电话也可能方便的查到有关的气象资料，同时上上新浪网什么的，所以我觉得它在无人区是必备的。
除此以外，如果车队比较大或人数比较多的话，应该准备可以连成网络的车载电台和对讲机。而且注意车与车之间不要落的太远。我知道在西藏 ，有时候同一天发出去的车，到晚上可能会差出200公里以上。
关于物资的准备：
从前面的介绍来看，我们应该已经很清楚，如果要去无人区物资的准备无疑是极为重要的，因为一般去无人区的时间都比较长，大家所需的一切生活物资，救生装备都要带齐，落了什么都是无法补救的。
一般的旅行装备就不提了。说几件比较重要的。
A 详细的地图。中国地图出版社的西藏分县地图无疑是有用的，另外，带经纬度的更详细的地图无疑也是必须的，这样的地图应该是靠局级单位的介绍信，并有正当理由可以买到的。
B 卫星定位仪GPS。不仅要有事先详细的线路准备，旅途中路线的准确性也很重要。对于一般的野外活动来讲，GPS和手提电脑中的地理信息系统的配合应该说是最理想的。一般来讲这样的活动必须要携带发电机，但是，手提电脑的使用可能还是会受到一些限制。
再说一遍，在无人区，GPS是必须的。现在很多新型的GPS允许你把地图资料输进GPS里，能自动记录所走过的道路，并可以和电脑中的资料配合使用，我强烈的推荐你也使用这样的GPS。
C 完备的野营装备在无人区，全套的野营装备都是必须的。
要说的一点是，无人区的昼夜温差比较大。特别是春秋季节，一般的旅游帐篷和睡袋肯定会不够，另外，那里有时候在晚上会有很强的风，所以要格外强调你的帐篷的抗风性。
D 足够的食品和饮水深入到无人区之后，任何试图在当地补充食品给养的努力都会是困难的，毕竟我们不可能总把希望寄托在偶尔遇到的牧民手里买羊来煮。所以应该考虑到准备好行程中所需的几乎全部的食品：一些简单而有营养食品作为早餐和中餐，一般来讲只有晚餐才有机会生火造饭。另外，为可能发生延误而准备的备份食品以及水果也是必须考虑到的。
和很多没去过的人的想象的不一样的是，藏北虽然有很多湖，但饮用水却是个问题。藏北的湖有相当多的是咸水湖；另有一些湖虽然喝起来不咸，但矿物质含量很高，据当地人讲喝了会哑或者有其它很多问题。当然流动着的雪山融水是没有问题的，但是藏北还不是所有地方都有雪山，所以还是应该考虑好饮用水（包括做饭、洗漱等等）的解决。
在无人区旅行的路线一般的来讲，南部的班戈县、申扎县、色林错（申扎县县城不远的沼泽常有大群的鹤类活动）、尼玛县、本教神湖当惹雍错、象雄王国的遗址都是比较容易去到的。
从尼玛县往北走到绒玛区后往东，大约车开一天可以到双湖办事处，这一带是野生动物非常密集的地方。
到这里基本就是通常可以到达藏北的最北端了。
从这里往北几百公里可以翻过可可西里山和昆仑山的交界处进入新疆，这样的道路有两条：一条是在双湖特区界的，一条在尼玛县界内。这一带应该说完全是旅游开发的处女地。由于道路难行，现在即便是驼队也很少走了。这里就是无人区的核心区了。关于这条路，由于没有完全走过，我能说的的也很少。好象听说本来广东的一个越野车俱乐部有意要在今年走这条线的，但是最终不了了之，我想原因除了组织上的以外，可能补给和救援困难是一个主要的难以克服的因素吧。
在无人区还有几点要注意的，原来我可能已经唠叨过了，再说一遍：
1 无人区是西藏海拔最高的地区之一，平均海拔在4500米以上，医疗卫生条件又差，没有完全适应高原气候的旅游者最好在拉萨多适应几天，真出了事可一点救没有；
2 不要过分接近野生运动，特别是野耗牛，万一见到，一定要离它们远点。
另外，黄羊和藏羚羊有与汽车赛跑的习惯。那气氛是很令人血脉愤张，但最好小心悠着点，很容易出事故。
3 同去的人里要有各种能干的人，特别是车辆维修、向导和医生，在无人区，想从外面得到支援可太难了。
4 但凡无人区，本身的环境一定是已经很脆弱的，一定要注意环保。垃圾不可分解的干了要带走，可分解的就地掩埋。
5 虽然一旦发生可能费用极其昂贵，但是还是要联系好救援的事情。毕竟当地政府和军队还是比较有办法的。
关于雅鲁藏布大峡谷：
大峡谷是最近一两年炒出来的热点。自然要简单说两句。 ,
我个人是不大支持大家去大峡谷的。原因主要是：大峡谷的生态其实很脆弱。一般来讲，团队进去（单人去很困难）必须要砍树作饭，要打猎什么的。对大峡谷的破坏实在太严重了。
而其实，真的进了大峡谷你会发现，你能去的地方除了在木板房的政府前面拍张照片以外就没什么了。实际墨脱好多有趣的地方都在麦克马洪线的那边，就算不在那边，很多地方由于是边境或者太难于到达，你也根本去不了。那地方，没有军队和劳工的支援，你什么地方也动不了，而实际上即便有了支持，你也不会想去哪里，呵呵，太苦了。我总觉得去大峡谷的旅游者都属于极端猎奇者，不说也罢。
为了保护大峡谷的环境，我希望大家支持我的观点，在近期内，还是不要去大峡谷旅游吧。
再多谈两个问题，其实是比较碎的事：
第一个是刀的携带的问题。好象已经有很多兄弟关心过刀的问题了。肯定，管制刀具是不让上飞机的，即便实托运也常常有问题。很多比较锋利的工具（包括我的冰镐、手斧等等）我建议大家采取邮寄的方法，在西藏买的小藏刀也是这样，拉萨的邮局同志一般都比较帮忙，只要你实话实说又不太过分，他们会比较通融的。
另一个是边境证的问题：在西藏的一些边境地区旅行是需要办理边境证的，这些地区包括：墨脱，樟木，珠峰（算定日县），普兰等等。要说的是最近在拉萨办边境证已经变的非常烦琐。如果不是有特别方便的关系，我建议大家还是在自己的地方办边境证的为好。
在这篇帖子的最后，我还有两句话要说。
和很多不太了解西藏的兄弟想象的不一样， 西藏旅游系统的法制化管理其实是比较健全的。如果你在西藏旅游期间和旅行社发生了什么纠纷----这实在比较容易的，毕竟西藏的旅行社的素质和内地比不了----一定要来西藏自治区旅游局投诉。我相信这样是你捍卫自己合法权利最好的办法。
西藏自治区旅游局的地址是：拉萨，园林路。也就是在铜牦牛雕像的南边300米的样子。
具体解决投诉的部门是旅游局的质检所：电话是0891-?6834193。
当然，我觉得解决问题的前提是你和旅行社之间的比较完备的合同。的确，在西藏旅行要和旅行社小心的订立旅行合同。实在不行就要相信旅游局了。就我所知，自治区旅游局质检所处理投诉还是是相当公正的，口碑不错。
一些补充：
1）进基本的陆路有四条，但是除了青藏公路外，其他线路的自驾进入建议为：尽量选择吉普、丰田4500、道奇及类似车辆，而且最好有两车组队同行。
2）青藏公路的状况不错，目前到明年上半年进行大规模的道路改造，不小路段要走便道，但问题不是很大。如果车、人状况都不错，可以在一天内由拉萨到达格尔木；不过建议中途多休息一下。
3）另外， 西藏旅游的时间安排上，最好留有相应的冗余，以免因为不可预测的因素耽误时间导致损失与不便。
还有，在顶上转载文章中说到高原反应的问题，在下不敢苟同，也许是因为务实的态度和曾经作为医务职业者的责任习惯。大家最好遵循传统的高原适应建议:-)
更正：
1.?鞋：
去墨脱千万别穿解放鞋！ ---“实践出真知”
因为解放鞋鞋底和鞋帮都太软，不能给脚底和脚踝以足够的保护。
而去墨脱路况又极差，经常要在石头上“跳舞”。
不要看人家民工穿着解放鞋挺“爽”的，换到“娇生惯养”的城里人脚上可就完全不是那么回事喽。
俺觉得吧，穿湿鞋也好过脚受伤吧！
否则的话，嘿嘿！你也就不需鞋啦。
2.?关于高山反应：
其实可以说每个人遇到的情况可能都不一样：
不同的“起始”高度、不同的起始时间等等---
跟每个人的体质有密切关系。
但特别要注意的是：这里所说的“体质”并不等同于外表的“强壮”。很多身体棒棒的“驴”反而反应得更厉害，反而是许多“柔柔弱弱”的JJ?MM几乎没有任何反应。
特别要注意的就是那些“喜欢扮酷---死要面子”的家伙。
至于说”飞机“和”汽车“哪个不容易引起高山反应，俺的亲身经历告诉俺应该是“汽车”！
----两次的对比就很能说明问题：
第一次是从成都直接飞拉萨，三个小时后就“歇菜“啦；
第二次是从成都坐车走川藏，第二天就去爬海螺沟 ，也没什么反应。
但这也只是个人的情况而已，而且不同的时候身体状况都不一样，不敢说“绝对”！
关于适应高山反应，好象存在着一个误区：都说上到高处就睡觉！
其实这是不正确的，因为睡觉的时候身体各项功能指标都降低，如呼吸等，反而加剧缺氧。
最佳的方式是：保持清醒，轻微的活动。
当然啦，到了晚上也没必要“死撑着”。
提前吃点“红景天”或其它提高血液携氧能力的药物。
或者带点葡萄糖口服液或西洋参含片-----据说而已，俺也没试过。
3.拉萨现在已经有工行，但还是赶不上建行和农行多。
另外邮政储蓄也是不错的选择。
