The average altitude in Northwest China is 3,000 meters. Some people may experience symptoms of altitude sickness, such as dizziness, headache, weakness, and insomnia. Mild symptoms 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 Rosea or other preventive medications a few days in advance. Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink more water, get enough sleep, and relax.
Most areas in Northwest China have a dry climate and strong ultraviolet radiation. Please prepare masks, sunscreen, sunglasses, and other items. Drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and do not eat too much beef and mutton.
The distances between cities in Northwest China are long, and the attractions are scattered, so the car ride is long. Please prepare motion sickness medicine. The temperature difference in summer is large. Bring your own common motion sickness medicines and other medicines to avoid getting sick or having heatstroke.
The light is strong in Northwest China in summer, so it is recommended to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and other items, which are also good for taking pictures.
Northwest China is hot in summer, so bring normal summer clothes, preferably pure cotton, breathable sportswear, and comfortable shoes/hiking shoes. The temperature difference between day and night is large, so it is best to bring a jacket for standby to avoid catching a cold.
Many places in Northwest China are inhabited by Muslims of various ethnic groups. When dining in any halal restaurant, be careful not to bring in non-beef and mutton food, do not drink alcohol, and try not to waste food.
If you visit a Muslim family, do not enter the kitchen without permission, nor enter the owner's room, especially the hostess's room. Do not touch religious objects.
People of ethnic minorities in western China are straightforward. Confirm your intention to purchase before bargaining and pay attention to ethnic unity.
Taking pictures of Buddhas in temples or temple halls is strictly prohibited. Please abide by the relevant precautions in the temple and respect local customs.
Do not litter any garbage generated during the trip and do not damage the environment.
Carry valuables with you to avoid loss.
