Retirement six years (including pre-retirement), 31 mainland provinces and autonomous regions, I have walked 28. I very much want to travel around the country, but it's difficult. I have a travel agency in Wuhan, registration tour Tibet, they look at me gray-haired, age 66 years, he said, the Tibetan high altitude and low air pressure, the air is thin, elderly people go to a certain degree of risk, over the age of 60 is generally not received . I also have Tibet network query, said their own situation, cardiopulmonary normal, some hardening of cerebral arteries, the blood pressure a little high, normal blood pressure medication, ask such a situation as I can go to Tibet. Tibet net reply, asking me to look for authoritative medical institution in the local consultation. I and some friends to talk about local doctors, they think that the world is big, where can not go, so why put his head into Tibet insisted seeking death.
I see this man in Tibet stance. Ming Ming being, he felt as if still OK. Regular walking home, a thirty or forty years goes without saying; climbing five mountains, up and down depends on two legs. In addition, see the User Travels introduced more than 60-year-old man was cycling to Namtso Lake, more than 60-year-old Japanese climbed Everest ... ... I am encouraged by these. Tibet is not restricted travel for the elderly, the elderly have to pay attention to science and to Tibet. I note in detail a variety of travel information on-line on Tibet, according to the information and homework assignments. Look at my daughter's really going to Tibet, and volunteered to accompany me.
We decided to first go to Sichuan, Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, subject to a small test reaction to high altitudes. Because the Yellow Dragon to climb 4200 meters to tie on Crewe Hill, 500 meters higher than the altitude of Lhasa. I have been rolling on Crewe Hill, there was no sense of discomfort. But her daughter was a strong reaction to high altitudes, who had accompanied me in advance for home.
The help of friends in Chengdu, August 12, I boarded a flight to Tibet. Came back from the front row, more than 400-seat Airbus drew a full house, but other than myself have not seen a second for the elderly, suddenly give birth to a sense of loneliness. Before long, the aircraft landed at the Gonggar Airport. The face of blue sky and white clouds, the open stretch of feeling great. In accordance with advice on the travel network is taking the anti-altitude sickness drug, to the hotel or rest. Over the next 12-14 hours, the general altitude sickness arises, I do not head pain, no halo, chest is not stuffy, but heart rate was 98 / min, high, but still within the normal range of responses.
By failing to participate in tours, combined with return air fares set to 21, so that time can have full freedom to arrange 9 days. A half-day rest, a half-day activities, slowly, slowly read the next day walking to and from the afternoon visited the Sera Monastery, the future day by day to visit the Norbulingka, museums, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Bazaar, Potala Palace, as well as a wall outside the turning the road and so on. The Potala Palace is also a board walk, there is no car. The middle two days went to the Nyingchi, crossing over between Lhasa and Nyingchi more than 5,000 meters above sea level in the Mira Yamaguchi. Guo Yamaguchi, some young people have varying degrees of mountain sickness, and I did not feel anything unusual.
I finally went through a ten days and nine nights in Tibet. August 21 afternoon, fly to Lhasa fly in the sky in Choi Wan Estate, good-bye to Tibet. I not only brought back to the Tibetan-style plateau landscapes and memories, but also brought back his body to adapt to the plateau of basic health certificate. Greatly enhanced to overcome disease, to have a good old age, confidence in life.
Finally, based on their experience, the elderly want to travel in Tibet a friend mentioned that eight proposals for reference only:
1. Go to Tibet before the best first Jiuzhai and Huanglong, or other high altitude areas in the Mainland inspection and look at their ability to adapt.
2. Tourist destination in a relatively low-lying areas to select the main tour is best not to live at high altitudes.
3. Arrangements can be half-closed half-swim, do not get too tired.
4. Drugs, nifedipine, Salvia anti-altitude sickness pills for the elderly, the effect was particularly significant. To prepare for.
5. Tibet's dry climate and more vegetables and less meat, the elderly easy to get angry, constipation. So, to drink soup, eat crude fiber foods, eat more vegetables.
6. To sleep well. Large temperature difference between hot days in Tibet at night, Shang Banye hot lid not live quilt, not Gai Beizi not work after midnight cold. Therefore, it is necessary to keep warm, but also do not get too warm and affect sleep.
7. A small bath, a bath early plateau of the elderly, likely to cause severe hypoxia.
8. For their own bodies should be monitored frequently added. Does not feel well, it is necessary to find a doctor in time can not endure.
Finally, I hope travel agencies attach importance to the development of tourism in Tibet silver hair market. Shanghai seems to have been initiated in this regard. Outlook is definitely promising.
