Avoid strenuous running and take precautions against altitude sickness. You can prepare some Rhodiola and other altitude sickness medication or oxygen tanks in advance. The weather on the plateau is changeable, so bring windproof and warm clothing even in summer. Respect local religious beliefs and customs. Do not touch Buddha statues without permission.🌟 Shangri-La's cuisine mainly features Tibetan and Yunnan dishes. Trying the local specialties is a highlight of the trip.❤️ The plateau has strong UV rays, so it's easy to get sunburned. Be sure to bring sunscreen, a sun hat, and sunglasses. At the same time, due to the dry air, it is recommended to bring moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
