When traveling to Ranwu Lake National Forest Park, Tibet, please note the following: 1. Preventing altitude sickness: - Preparation: You can take anti-altitude sickness drugs such as Rhodiola rosea before entering Tibet. It is generally recommended to start taking the drugs about a week in advance, but the effect of the drugs varies from person to person. - Gradual adaptation: After arriving in Tibet, rest for 1-2 days to allow your body to slowly adapt to the high-altitude environment. Avoid strenuous exercise or overwork as soon as you arrive. When visiting Ranwu Lake, do not walk or run quickly. Try to keep your movements slow. - Maintain a good mentality: Being too nervous or anxious may worsen the symptoms of altitude sickness. Maintaining a relaxed and peaceful mentality can help alleviate altitude sickness. 2. Climate and warmth: - Pay attention to weather changes: The weather in Tibet is changeable, especially the temperature difference between day and night. It is recommended to check the weather forecast in advance and prepare suitable clothes according to the weather. Even in summer, you need to bring warm jackets, such as storm jackets and thin down jackets. - Pay attention to sun protection and wind protection: The ultraviolet rays in the plateau area are strong, and long-term exposure to the sun can easily cause sunburn.

Especially in the rainy season, there may be geological disasters such as landslides and mudslides, which affect road traffic. During driving, pay attention to controlling the speed, maintaining a safe distance, and driving carefully. - Choose regular transportation: When taking public transportation, choose regular buses or chartered buses to ensure the safety of the vehicle and the driver's driving qualifications. 5. Ecological protection: - Do not litter: The ecological environment of Ranwu Lake National Forest Park is fragile.
