4.8 The current situation in Tibet: It’s so hot and numb, so don’t bring any clothes with you.

. 🌞Tibet is not really hot, but it is really sunny! You can't even imagine how high the ultraviolet rays are there! 😱Taking photos by the Namtso Lake, it was really windy and sunny. As a result, my skin got tanned and peeled and became two degrees darker after the photoshoot. It felt terrible 😭. In Lhasa, the minimum skin exposure is required. If you don’t use sunscreen, you will get sunburned! You will understand if you look at how the locals dress 👍. ♥️The bitter lessons of those who have experienced it👇 When going to Tibet, you must take proper sun protection measures! I was wearing long sleeves and was lazy so I didn't wipe my neck. I took off my coat when taking photos, and in just one hour, my neck was tanned and peeling 😭. After a few days, he turned into a black-faced Guan Gong. Now I will share with you the sun protection strategy I compiled 👇 ✅Sunscreen tips👇 1⃣ Be fully equipped: sunscreen, sun protection clothing, sun protection mask, sunglasses, hat, sun umbrella, sunscreen spray, none of them can be missing! These are all "magic tools" for sun protection, and none of them can be missing😎. 2⃣ Apply sunscreen thickly: Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen spray at any time. I got tanned this time because I didn’t reapply the spray in time. It was a painful lesson 😭. 3⃣Don’t wear an open hat: Although it looks good, in Tibet where the ultraviolet rays are extremely strong, it is more important to protect your scalp. Don’t ignore protection just for the sake of looking good😅. 4⃣Long sun protection clothing: Cover from head to toe, leaving no chance for the sun, all-round protection to rest assured😃. 5⃣Diet after sunburn: Eat light food and eat more fruits and vegetables, which will help restore skin condition 🍎🥦. 6⃣Sunburn treatment: Apply ice in time, 3 to 4 times a day, each time for half an hour. Then apply aloe vera gel to promote skin repair, which can relieve a lot🌿. 7⃣Remove sunscreen: Bath oil is the best! Using oil to dissolve oil can remove sunscreen more cleanly🛁. ⚠️Travel Tips👇 1. Weld the three life-saving sets onto my body! 3-in-1 jacket + fleece liner + quick-drying pants, put them on and unlock the right to survive in the plateau (the horse-faced skirt party is ecstatic! Open the jacket next to the prayer wheel and snap it off in 5 minutes 😜) 2. Hiking boots are the best! The steps of the Potala Palace slide + the gravel road of Mount Everest, the skaters can perform splits on the spot in minutes, so you must wear hiking boots to ensure safety👢. 3. Use Rhodiola rosea to start metaphysical body protection 7 days in advance (personal experience shows that it is more effective than forwarding koi fish 😏) Don’t buy oxygen cylinders online, they are only 15 yuan on the spot, it’s more cost-effective to buy them when you arrive at the local place 💰. 4. Fill me up with medicine packs! Motion sickness medicine (the 108 winding mountain road is specially designed to treat those who are stubborn 🚗) + nasal spray (dry enough to spit fire 💧) + erythromycin ointment (a magic weapon to prevent nostril cracks 👍). 5. Be a sloth for the first two days! bath? shampoo? Da Meh! The diffuse oxygen supply room is the home of happiness, and the ICU experience card of the hospital is a warning for disco players🏥. 6. Fill your pockets with change! Use a 1 yuan note to refill lamp oil. Don’t ask why toilets charge money (if you ask, it’s a +1 merit 😅). 7. You must understand the temple rules! The short skirt shows the waist, and the sunglasses are cool and revealing! Turn the prayer wheel clockwise and point one finger at the Buddha statue, be careful or Ajia will chase you and chant sutras🙏. 🔥Mount Everest + Yanghu Lake + Namtso Lake 5 days D1: Lhasa - Gangbala Pass - Yamdrok Lake - Karola Glacier - Manla Reservoir - Shigatse.
