The best season for tourism in Tibet
In late spring and summer (3-10 months) into the best plateau. The humidity and temperature of the air are very good at this time. In the spring, the recovery of all things, will feel refreshed, birds'twitter and fragrance of flowers, the temperature of this period in Lhasa is generally between 5 -18 DEG C; in the summer, the temperature has increased, but the highest temperature is not high, the average temperature in summer is only 7 -19 DEG C, the highest temperature in summer in Lhasa area generally do not exceed 30 degrees. People will have a sense of comfort in such a temperature condition.
In addition, the precipitation in summer is obviously higher than that in other seasons. The precipitation in 6-9 months accounted for 90% of the total annual precipitation, and the rain was mostly at night, which made the dry climate of the plateau somewhat eased. Therefore, in Tibet, the summer is the most pleasant season of the year. This season in the green grass, trees and branches full of vitality and prosperity, people relaxed and happy.
At the same time, because all kinds of plants grow luxuriant in spring and summer, the photosynthesis is strong, and the air pressure is relatively higher, which makes the oxygen content in the air increase, so the body's anoxia state has been improved.
Other health precautions
One
In order to keep warm, the temperature difference between day and night in Tibet is very large, and the temperature of early and late is low. Generally, the temperature is reduced by 6 degrees per 1000 meters above sea level. So we must pay attention to keep warm. Even in summer, we must prepare coats or sweaters. It's very cold to stay in the dark temple hall for a long time. In addition, it is also important to keep the body dry.
Two
The high altitude of the sun and ultraviolet rays will hurt your eyes, and you should prepare the sun hat and sunglasses. Tibet has a lot of snow and ice, snow and water will be a strong reflection of sunlight, in the sunny days of direct exposure to eyes a few hours in such an environment can be caused by snow. So, the snow line and above area must take the snow when the mirror, or at least good UV filtering sunglasses. The blind can cause temporary blindness, mild symptoms are sensitive to light blinking eyes, like sand, pain, eye redness, stop the tears.
If there is snow, with eye drops to clean the eyes, eye in the dark or blindfolded with ice cold towel to reduce the use of eyes, try to rest. Good rest and relaxing environment to alleviate the symptoms of snow, but full recovery is normally required 5~7 days.
Three
Every tourist line in Tibet, with large dust and poor sanitary conditions, is not suitable for use of contact lenses. If you want to wear, you may consider using the disposable type of lenses, Lhasa has contact lenses for sale, and the price is equivalent to the mainland.

Preparation before departure

Psychological preparation
Although Tibet is sacred, it is not a forbidden area. With the upsurge of self driving in the last two years, a lot of people have been to Tibet. Just with other places is different, Tibet is a plateau, and is mainly ethnic Tibetan Plateau, we don't have a fear of the plateau, for normal people, nothing more than to go to Tibet to plateau travel time, generally the beginning of the plateau are 2 to 3 days of the adaptation period, so don't be nervous.
In plateau area, everyone will feel different degrees of chest pain, shortness of breath, dyspnea and other anoxia symptoms. They will have headache, muscle pain and insomnia. But this does not mean that it can not adapt to the plateau. This reaction is normal. If you can protect yourself correctly, 1 to 3 days later, these symptoms can be improved or disappeared.
But after remission, it is not just to do whatever you want, but to control your own behavior, so that it can play a very good role. First to the plateau, the best less bath, never let yourself cold, drink more water less vigorous exercise.
In addition, the plateau temperature difference is very large, it is easy to catch cold and cold, this time to remember, it is better to heat a little, not cold a little, more clothes. Keep an optimistic attitude, like traveling in a common place, and don't keep thinking about how many meters above sea level.
