The first problem to be considered in Tibet driving tour is plateau reaction, that is, when the human body enters the plateau above 3000 meters above sea level in a hurry, after being exposed to low pressure and low oxygen environment, it is easy to produce various discomforts. The common symptoms are headache, insomnia, loss of appetite, fatigue, difficulty in breathing, etc.
In the prevention of altitude sickness, except for those who are particularly susceptible to low oxygen, stepping up the mountain is the safest and most secure way to prevent acute altitude sickness. If you need to enter a plateau above 4000m, you should stay at 2500-3000m for 2-3 days, and then you should not go up more than 600-900m per day.
However, the vacation is not long, so if you stay on the road for too long to prevent plateau reactions resulting in less time for sightseeing, or leave early before the vacation is not very worthwhile. So, what should we do in the end?
Take a Tsingair Oxygen generator on the road.
