Good to know
- The average altitude in the Northwest is 3,000 meters. Some people may experience symptoms of altitude sickness, such as dizziness, headache, fatigue, insomnia, etc. Mild symptoms of altitude sickness usually disappear within 1-2 days as the body adapts to the altitude. Refrain from smoking and alcohol before the trip, avoid fatigue, avoid excessive aerobic exercise, and take Rhodiola and other preventive medicines a few days in advance. Eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water, get enough sleep, and relax.
- Most areas in the Northwest have a dry climate and strong ultraviolet rays. Please prepare masks, sunscreen, sunglasses and other items. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and do not consume beef and mutton without restraint.
- The journey between cities in the Northwest is long, and the scenic spots are scattered. Therefore, the journey by car is long. Please prepare motion sickness medicine. The temperature difference in summer is large. Bring your own common motion sickness medicine and other medicines to avoid getting sick from heatstroke.
- The light in Northwest China is strong in summer, so it is recommended to bring sunscreen, sunglasses and other items, which are also good for taking photos.
- The Northwest is hot in summer, so bring normal summer clothes, preferably pure cotton, breathable sportswear and outdoor clothing, comfortable and fit sports shoes/hiking shoes. The temperature difference between day and night is large, so it is best to bring a jacket for spare, and pay attention to catching a cold.
- Many places in the Northwest are Muslim communities. When dining in any halal restaurant, be careful not to bring in non-beef or mutton foreign food, do not drink alcohol, and try not to waste food.
- If visiting a Muslim family, do not enter the kitchen without permission, nor enter the room of the host, especially the hostess. Do not touch religious objects.
- Ethnic minorities in the western region are straightforward in character. Bargain only after you are sure you want to buy, and pay attention to ethnic unity.
- Taking pictures of Buddha statues in temples or temple halls is strictly prohibited. Please abide by the relevant precautions in the temple and respect local customs.
- It is forbidden to discard the garbage generated during the trip at will, and it is not allowed to damage the environment.
