In May 2017, my wife and I and a few friends drove from Guangdong to Lhasa, Tibet, and back via Qinghai and Chengdu. The whole journey took 21 days. It is a travel experience that I am proud of in my life.
Uh, at the beginning, it’s not military checkpoint, it’s police checkpoint

For friends who go to the plateau area for the first time, it is best to ask a tour guide to accompany you. This requirement has nothing to do with your nationality, because improper handling of altitude sickness will lead to life danger. This is really not a joke, and the tour guide knows where to provide emergency assistance.
想起一件事,我妈妈曾经有一个朋友邀请同事去西藏玩,下了飞机人就直接送医院了,最后也没救过来,因为他脑部有一个动脉瘤,到了高原因为压强变大破了,在那之前他也没去医院检查过不知道自己有动脉瘤,如果他不去高原,也许那个动脉瘤一辈子都不会破,想想也是造化弄人,邀请他的人怕不是要内疚一辈子......
It has something to do with your nationality. Otherwise, Chinese citizens should be subject to the same requirement.
@@chi-jenyang9752actually she said ‘best to’ not ‘required to’. It’s more like a suggestion to everyone who wants to visit Tibet, including Chinese tourists, than defending her government.
@@ziduanchen9322 Tibet travel permit is "REQUIRED" for all non-Chinese, not "best to have".
@@chi-jenyang9752 The prejudice in people‘s hearts is a mountain. If there is any kind of statement, it is a kind of sophistry in the eyes of biased people, such as people like you.
I am 80. Tibet was on my bucket list since I was 60. Most people advised me not to go. I really appreciate your video, the best I have seen so far. It was so real, honest and informative. I definitely can not make it now. I feel like that I have fulfil my bucket list. Looking forward to part 2.
你如果没有三高,可以先从云南或四川玩起,慢慢向高海拔前进。
My mother, who was 76, with high blood pressure and diabetes, visited Shangri LA via Kunming and she suffered no ill effects. The trick is to take things easy, walk slowly, talk softly and give yourself time to acclimatise. Always have a small canister of oxygen nearby. May be you can try Shangri La if Tibet is out of reach. Best wishes to you.
The plateau is friendly to the elderly, but young people are prone to altitude reaction. Many Chinese elderly people have no problem going to Tibet. I have also met many elderly people taking road trips together.
altitude sickness is more an individual body function, not so much on age, check with your doctor and if you go, get acclimated and take things slow 👍
@@justme6275 Having high blood pressure is still not a good idea unless it's well controlled with medicine. The atmosphere is thinner at high altitude thus atmospheric pressure is lower than at sea level. You can see it with a well sealed bag of chips from sea level and how it enlarged like a balloon.
To those with pride and prejudice, I would like to say:
Tibet's famous natural landscapes are often more than 5 hours' drive from the nearest town. Two of the three holy lakes are above 5,500 meters above sea level. If severe altitude sickness occurs, there is no need to call an ambulance. You have already Sentenced to death, so even for domestic tourists, tour guides will tell you over and over again about the dangers and how to avoid such tragedies. If you don't understand the language and don't have a tour guide with you at all times, no one knows what will happen. You may They will say, I have no problem, I am strong, and I respect your philosophy of not taking your life seriously, but please do not die on the land of Tibet casually. The locals regard this place as a pure land and pollute it. is not acceptable.
At the same time, Tibet is facing various separatist forces all the time. If you care about these, you should know that there is a living Buddha who betrayed us. He still lives under the asylum of the United States. On the contrary, our government has carried out a lot of foundation work in Tibet. Construction, on your way to Tibet, you should notice that there are a lot of high-voltage wires on the top of the bare mountain. They bring electricity to Tibet. You can imagine how breathless you are standing on the mountain. Let’s see how arduous a project it is to erect high-voltage electricity towers on the top of the mountain. However, the current villages in Tibet are built by the government for free and provided to the local people for living and use. The Chinese government has no restrictions and obliterates Tibetan Buddhism. Otherwise, today, You can't see anything, can you?
I hope your third trip will help you look at China more objectively. Of course our government is not perfect. On the contrary, it has various problems. As long as it is not pride and prejudice, we welcome your valuable opinions and look forward to it. You discover problems from a different perspective than ours and help us improve ourselves. I wish you a pleasant journey.
i dont think the whole context u wrote here is true , living buddha you are talking about was almost assassinated by the communist party of china , and the freedom you are talking about is very limited , no rights to learn thier own language and religion ,
@@sonamchoegyal2097 Pride and prejudice are on perfect display in you
@@sonamchoegyal2097 oh, mr know everything, go watch anti-china vidoes than staying here. why bother
@@sonamchoegyal2097 Not only in China, every countries with multi-ethnic population have governmental difficulties, racism and interior problems
@@sonamchoegyal2097 Does China not allow Tibetans to learn language and religion? You are such an arrogant and ignorant person. Did you know that every piece of money in China has Tibetan and Uighur written on it? Did you know that stores in ethnic minority areas must be named in two languages? Did you know that the famous action actor Jet Li believes in Tibetan Buddhism? He would go to Tibet to practice spiritual practice every once in a while.
I really like this series, rural China is the gem.
The reason Tibet is restricted to foreigners is there have been a lot of foreign spy agencies send people there to plan and launch a separation movement. Chinese government doesn’t really stop people to visit Tibet if they just simply explore the culture, like you. In the uk, where I’m staying, and the states, I often see people holding a Tibet flag, they made that as so called “national” flag referring Tibet as a country instead of a province in China, protesting along the road where a country leader visits. Those people who have been instigated are still active overseas with the back of some western counties. Basically a lot of countries want China to be divided into a lot of different small countries like the former soviet unions. Then China could be massively slashed in economy and military power to make no rivals to other countries. Most of the weird policies to foreigners in China could be traced down to what foreign agencies did in China. China is just trying to protect himself from outside harm, aka self defence. Hope you can embrace the weirdness and enjoy your rural journey in China. Best wishes.
That's not entirely the reason. Too many travelers have died. Altitude sickness, no man's land and severe cold can kill people, as well as religion and culture in Tibet. So we need a guide.

感谢你的解释,非常准确。
big Chinese lie 😂
Guys, this is retrospect only but you should have taken the train into tibet because that would give you more time to adjust to the high altitude.
Totally, we should have done that or maybe spent more time in Kunming - we spent about 24 hours there as it was “half way” altitude wise ☺️
@@josieliftsthings "halfway" in terms of altitude but not in oxygen concentration. That's the catch. Oxygen is the heavier gas in the atmosphere so it concentrates more at low altitudes.
我第一次做火车去拉萨,那是个非常错误的决定。千万不要相信坐火车能适应高原反应,不可能的。因为高原反应最少要持续一周。反而坐飞机直飞拉萨,症状要轻一些。
kids asked:are you foreigners?😊
Decades ago my GF and I took a rather long and rough bus ride from Golmud (格尔木) to Lhasa. It probably did help us to slowly adjust. We had already spent some time at altitude in Qinghai. Flying straight to Lhasa must be a shock to the body.
As an aussie who lived in china for the past 15 years, i have never been to tibet. good on you guys.

I don't think there is a country that really puts the people as much as China. As long as you know the geographical location of Tibet, you will know how much the Chinese government loves Tibet. There is still a 5G network at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and the hydropower facilities are perfect. These projects are very difficult.
China loves Tibet people so much it destroys their culture, tells them who they must follow and calls their spiritual leader a terrorist and a separatist.
It is also not adverse to killing them if you know your history.
These dumb tourists do not.
I agree with you.
It’s not like we had a choice. China invaded Tibet and then did whatever they wanted. The fact that there is 5g and nice technology is only because Chinese government wants to have all the technology and equipment they need to keep an eye on the Tibetans. It’s not out of pure kindness that they installed all that. We have nothing to thank you for.
more of a resource rich and untapped area that didn't go through the dynasties' wars and battles like the rest of the world that are much more accessible throughout history. Theyre building high speed rail to make it more accessible for the locals as wells as letting coastal metropolis citizens to access it or to travel out of tibet. which wasn't accessible prior due to the complex topography
cant agree more
My brother went there a few years ago and wasn't too used to the high altitude. But on the whole, he loved it.
Same!! I loved it. A very special trip for me
I have been to Sichuan and Yunnan, but haven’t got a chance to Tibet. China is out of my imagination, now I truly believe the world would have a better future because of China.
I’m living in sicuan,xizang is different, the melt down blue sky. The kindly people, I hope visit again.
新疆也很漂亮,还有甘肃还有内蒙古
还推荐新疆,新疆在中国是不用宣传每个人都会想去的地方😊
1) Half of Sichuan is Tibet. and yunnan too.
2) China is killing innocent Tibetans and imprisoning them for no good reasons.
3) Tibetans are 85% farmers and make a living by trading mushrooms and special insect that is used for medicine by chinese.
4) Recently a big Tibetan school was forcefully closed by china for no reason. 80% of Tibetan kids are forced to go to chinese boarding schools far away from home and there they learn only chinese and chinese history and culture.Most times onlty a few weeks they see parents every 3 months or so.
5) Tibetan monasteries and villages are being destroyed because china wanted to build a dam(that could destroy nearby nature and water) but most times the dam never comes and the village is already destroyed and monastery too.Leaving small monks and normal without education of tibetan history, religion or culture. The ones who protest against anything what china has to say go to jail or die.
6) Tibetans who protest against anything what china has to say go to jail or die.Or even saying Tibet is great or having HH Dalai Lama picture.Also being patriotic is illegal for tibetans.
7) 1,4 million tibetans killed in less than a decade by chinese invasion.Still counting!
8) China spread fake news to justify their occupying of tibet by saying there was slavery but there was no proof.Tibetans serfed the Dalai Lama and they called this slavery. China had way worse slavery and still has slavery till this day. Child labors or labor camps for Uyghurs and Tibetans.
9) When china invaded Tibet no one wanted them. That's why 1 in every 6 tibetans died that time.Tanks vs farmers.Still this day no tibetan wants them.
10) People say Tibet is now better than what it used to be because of china but that is not the reason.If tibet was independent it would have been better than nowadays where tibetans are still farmers and have less chance to make good money.Tibet is in central asia with himalaya that tourism alone would make good income for tibet.
Free Tibet and East Turkestan for always.
I am Chinese and I haven’t been Tibet , Sichuan and Yunnan , I have been lived in overseas many years. Really want to go back to visit there ! Thank you for sharing your experience!

Glad that you are ok, I hear that bigger guys and athletes could fall victim to the high altitude sickness more easily, because their body needs more oxygen
Good to hear!

Tibet and Xinjiang are high security because they're the places the US is most likely to meddle and create instability
That sucks but I get it. America has a history of CIA funding instability groups and toppling governments that way. 😂
Are you sure that's the reason? Not because Tibetan people want independence from China and China doesn't want people helping them? Soon the same thing will be happening to Taiwan. I really can't believe you actually think Tibet is high security because China wants to protect it from the US 🤣 China is trying to prevent Tibet from gaining help from the US. Tibet, Taiwan and The Uyghurs, If you take time to learn about their stories you will understand that China and the CCP are devils. If you don't care for any of that and believe it's just territorial wars then how about how China treats their own civilians? Have you heard about their forced organ harvesting?

You should at least prove yourself to be an unbiased expert on Tibet.
It's free to access for foreigners before. However, some countries instigated Tibet's independence. so after that, all foreigners have to apply for a permit before entering it.

She also said Tibetans faced "uncertainties" (44:00). She should just say it out openly what these "biases & uncertainties" are, instead of being vague & cryptic.🙄
She should also have read up on a phenomena called 'confirmation bias' so she can be more aware she does not get afflicted with it by this trip in Tibet.

This guide guy is such a gem, adding lots of flavour to the video and also a great help.
On the other hand, the guide is a monitor, too. Why does the Chinese government ask foreigners to hire a local tour guide?it's not for job opportunity, it is a bondsman who will be punished when you have done something they dislike. A local tour guide can understand subtle taboo subject, and avoid it without a trace.

In fact, the main reason is that there are many uninhabited areas, and people are afraid that some people will run around, get lost, have no mobile phone signal, or encounter altitude sickness. No one will rescue them in time, and no one will know where they died. There have been several such incidents.😂
So need a tour guide.🤣🤣🤣🤣Have fun❤
same situation as North Korea, I often hear tourists are easy to get lost there too, so the governments always send tour guy to keep eye tourists to make sure they see what they need to see 😂 maybe rest of countries should do the same to Chinese too cuz there are so much Chinese hate all around the world now, better send security guards with Chinese tourists to make sure they are safe when they traveling 😅
@@ahlalamo Tibet is too big, with too many uninhabited areas. Curious people like to wander around alone. When they are thirsty, they can't find the village, their cell phones have no signal, they get lost, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. Then they die of thirst or freezing.

I was in Tibet years ago and ended up in hospital because of altitude sickness. It is very dangerous. You could get brain damage. Also protect yourself from the intense sun.
My guide helped me with hospital and safety.
The Chinese government has brought Tibetans out of poverty and given many privileges to minorities, housing and extra free education over the Han Chinese.
I didn't need permits many years ago. Now the western media and westen political issues trying to divide China, security is needed to prevent disruptions.
TIBET is never a part of China since ancient times, FREE TIBET✊✊✊.
No Tibetans have ask Chinese government for any sort of help. No Tibetans welcome Chinese. Chinese forcefully came to China brutally occupied Tibet. Any sort of development made in Tibet is for their own (Chinese) best interest as many Chinese have moved to tibet n hence Tibetans are minorities in their own land. Just like how foreigners are getting easy visa, Tibetans hardly get one to visit families who haven’t met for 20/30 odd years. So stop misinforming n fooling ppl.
Hahaha. Tibet is Tibet and china is china. That bullshit china has occupied the beautiful country Tibet. Actually,Tibet is a rich and china is a very poor country before. But they had stolen so many things from Tibet. That's the real story.
The strict inspection in Tibet is because many tourists go to Tibet and lose their lives because of altitude sickness or stray into no man's land. The environment in Tibet is not very friendly to us tourists from the plains.
Your comment and below are not even real people- just Chinese bots who are paid 10 cents to sell the lies CCP comes up and you waste your lives spreading lies.
This video reminds me of traveling to tibet ten years age, all the things that you get through there are so familiar. Things has been changed in ten years, but tibet is still a very well-deserved place to visit.
I went there 17 years ago. Back then things were less commercialized and more natural, including washrooms along the highways😅. The food weren't great but acceptable to a Han stomach. Things are a lot more modern now but also commercialized.

As far as I know, sky burial is not open to the public in recent years. 30 years ago, we could witness sky burial in Tibet. The scene was quite astonishing particularly when you see the master cut the corpse into pieces and the eagle ate the remains.
When I talked to the Tibetian, most of them were grateful to the government as the later provided them with respectfuland fairly "good" lives (to me, they were still very poor at that time) , not as serfs under the noble monks at the 1950s. This image was quite different from what the USA said in recent years about Tibet.

I came to New Zealand from China 34 years ago. My son was born in New Zealand. I take my son to China every year. Last year, we went to Tibet and hired a tour guide. The tour guide is very important. He can explain the history of Tibet to my son in English. My son also thought that Tibet should be liberated before. After listening to the history, he knew that Tibet was part of China in the Qing Dynasty. Before the settlement, Tibet was a slave system. It was the new China that abolished the Loudi system. In addition, due to scheduling issues, our flight left at 2 pm on the last day. We had to visit the Potala Palace in the morning, which was too late because of the long queue. In the end, the tour guide explained that we were the first to enter the visit and catch the return flight. It is much more convenient to hire a local tour guide. In addition, the first night in Tibet is the most uncomfortable, so you must take painkillers and sleeping pills. Other medicines are useless. It will be much better the next day.
You guys brave and strong😊
So you can enjoy western democracy and freedom and it is ok for Tibetans to live under Communist and especially under Han Chinese with false narrative. This is what you mean?
It's really great that you took your son to Tibet but you have misguided and disinform him on saying that Tibet has been part of China since Qing dynasty if so Mongolia Yuan dynasty has full claim on what China is now. Moreover, don't you think youre making fool of yourself by saying that CCP and your Mao liberated Tibet when China in 1950s has seen more deaths under your Mao. Obviously if you let Tibet alone we would have grown like any other country. I hope your child would still be curious and get to the best conclusion.

I got super emotional. Michael I’m so sorry that you were feeling so sick and missed out, I completely felt how you did. 😢
@@MrsPrincess_81 Thank you so much for your support!!! I appreciate it so much. Michael says thank you! He feels like he missed out on a lot, but nothing could be done about it he felt so sick. 😔
Wait until the next video, he struggles so hard the poor thing! Haha
Was Michael in china?? Oh wow it’s definitely because of that gutter oil. I knew they’d get sick eating in china. They literally take oil from the gutters to fry their food. Look it up on RUclips. It is not altitude sickness.
For those who have never lived at high altitude, over 3000m, flying into Lhasa 3600m is not a good idea. It takes about 5 days to adapt to the atmosphere.
I took the train from Xining Qihai which is already at about 3000m, and I still had high altitude sickness the first few days in Lhasa. I had to really slow down movement to avoid short of breath. Keep taking the O2 is not a good idea, because you aren't adapting yourself to the new atmosphere. Using the O2 should be for serious headache and purple nails only, a sign of serious lack of oxygen in the body.
This is not what western media wamts us to see and know.. There is freedom to worship , no persecution of Buddhists or monks,.....
Thank you for portraying the Truths as you see first hand.
99% of Tibetan love n have trust to Dalai Lama. Why China is still afraid to Dalai Lama he don’t have any single army.

@@sonamgya563Dalai Lama was paid by cia to lead a separatist force
@@sonamgya563 If 99% of Tibetans loved him, he would not fail. The Dalai Lama is someone who wants to play the role of God in Tibet; he desires a theocratic Tibet that implements feudal serfdom, which is completely contrary to Western "democratic" values. The support from Westerners for him is merely because he is an enemy of the CCP, which is extremely hypocritical.
That’s not the truth. These all are set ups by ur Chinese government. If there is really freedom why all dese obligations , cameras and ur so called «guide» . Why she can’t freely discover Tibet by herself. Dnt try to fool us

Thank you for showing Tibet to us. Looking forward to your coming visit in Tibet.
This tourist guide is really good at explaining the Tibetan culture
I studied and then lived in Sydney for almost 10 years. When I got back to my motherland China, First thing I did was by visiting Tibet in 2015. Back on those days, altitude sickness almost killed me, But I finally won the battle for life struggling. People said, when travelling in Tibet, the body feels like in hell while your version is definitely in heaven, I do guarantee it is true. Once you step on that field, the stunning views will impress your by both physical and emotional ways.
there is definitely some people in Sydney mansplain you that China occupied Tibet and Xinjiang, right? That's what I experienced
Thank you so much for showing the beauty of my mother land. When I saw these video I really miss my family and my home town. it’s almost more than 20 years I never went back to my home town but thanks for showing these video
This was such an interesting vid, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful mountains, architecture and the beloved people, it’s all so amazing…Thank you Josie for sharing this adventure, I look forward to seeing more🙏♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️🙏

Incredible Josie! Thank you for sharing. I have a list of random places I want to visit in my notes and I’ve now added Tibet to it. Your guide was so beautiful and lovely. I hope Michael is feeling better soon
Please do! You’ll love it!
Tibet is often considered a paradise-like destination. Many Chinese people have not visited it due to its high altitude, which can be daunting. However, those who have made the journey describe it as an unforgettable experience. The region is exceptionally beautiful, pure, and rich in sincere religious beliefs. Those who can visit are often admired for their courage and determination.
👍👍👍 Thank you for your sharing and educational tour! Wishing your buddy a speedy recovery!💖💖💖 Beautiful car driven by the tour guide too! 🚙
WOW. So interesting! Thanks for sharing this destination- love the history and learning about the culture. Seeing it for the first time through your eyes was amazing. Those mountains - just beautiful! You still managed to say 'hello' to locals and visitors alike and they enjoyed the interactions too. Can't wait to see the next one!!!
She is a great traveler, such good videos
Yes- I agree.
Hello I’m from Tibet
Love from Tibet ❤
因为西藏属于中国的边疆,那边有大量的军事化设施。所以约束会比一般的城市来的多。
并且去旅游的人,容易有高原反应
主要是美国中情局,印度搞了很多次藏独活动,所以必须限制
@@simonjp873 确实,这是真正的原因
@@simonjp873 It's always interesting that those people who want Tibet independence, why don't they first build an independent country inside India first? I think they should first Help Dalai Lama declare independence from India and then talk about how to deal with its relations with China. 🤣I'm curious if India actually supports Tibetan independence on its own soil before pointing fingers at China 😂
@M3.Lorenzo Tibet has been part of China for centuries, and there are 800,000 Tibetans in the communist party. There are many Tibetans living in other provinces of China.
Therefore, Tibet's independence is only the Americans way of dividing and containing China.
主要是外面还有个和尚
You are very brave. Thank you for sharing this wonderful world to us.
the reason for the guide requirement is for safety. they are suppose to accompany you when you head out of town because lots parts are remote and if you get severe altitude sickness and alone, you would be kind of screwed.
I think also more than that. When there were no permits or guides required decades ago, I personally heard from foreign evangelical missionaries boasting how they stuffed the prayers wheels with Christian tracts as they go along to all the holy sites and temples in Tibet. Not very Christian in my eyes!
@@jasonyap7634 there are other reasons but I didn't want to get too political. people from certain western countries have to excuse the small inconvenience incurred in their travels in some parts of china. you have to understand for example the cia has been documented for inciting riots and terrorism within chinese soil including tibet and more recently hong kong. certain countries including the one these two are from constantly smear china with lies any which way and any time possible and use their media as propaganda tools. the usa also removed a once labeled terrorist organization from their terrorist list, and extremist organization that sent people to the kunming train station and hacked innocent people with machetes resulting in dozens of deaths. I can go on and on but I think people should get the point about security check inconveniences.
@@jasonyap7634wow that’s the first time I heard this 😮 well I guess a preacher is got to preach, but would be disrespectful to do that in chapels and temples 😅 that’s why I don’t like most Christianity institutions in China, they are always trying to lure people in… I live in Zhejiang province and Christian churches are everywhere
Your video is a true gift, giving so many Chinese people who haven't had the chance to visit Lhasa a spiritual experience. Thank you so much.
As someone who have been to Tibet plateau dozens of times, I fully understand how altitude sickness kicks in. A lot of people talks about taking some sort of pills...that is really not the key. First, avoid sudden body workout, don't stand up like you would in lower altitude, take your time, do everything slowly and force yourself breath deeper. Try to have more veges and fruits, and less protein-rich food to help digestion. It is kinda unfortunate that heavier people are more likely to suffer from severe altitude sickness, because your body ask more oxygen to maintain itself. So the key is still making less movement, eat accordingly, and use oxygen.
I really want to go to Tibet. Kunming is definitely on my list too
I really recommend both Andrea! Tibet is once in a lifetime but Kunming was a great city in China!!! Really enjoyed both! 🥰🥰
@@josieliftsthings Kunming is great, my wifes family is from there. Going back soon

It is a relatively difficult challenge to reach Lhasa by plane. Most people need to rest for 2 days after arriving. The best way to arrive is to take a car, gradually moving from low altitude to high altitude, so that the body can adapt. Tibet has the most spectacular and stunning natural beauty in the world, and all the adventures are worth it.
Thank you so much for sharing . I didn’t even go to Tibet as a Chinese 😢 your video makes me know more about this amazing secret place 🎉
Tibet is one of the most amazing and mysterious places I ever been to, even as a Chinese. You guys should go check out the Namtso Lake at 5000m which is breathtakingly beautiful, and also give you a challenge to your body. Also, basecamp of Mount Everest is a top destination in Tibet as well. Also you can try the bullet train from Lhasa to Nynchi which is the highest bullet train in the world and have amazing views along the way. Enjoy your Epic journey in Tibet! I really admire your courage to go to Tibet as a foreigner as it’s such a remote place .

Wow, today's video is great. It's more than 40 minutes. Thank you for bringing this series.
Glad you enjoy it! It’s great to hear feedback on the length. Thanks so much! 😄😁☺️
When traveling from low altitude areas to Tibet, in order to avoid discomfort, people usually lie down for half a day to allow the body to adapt, especially those with a sturdy build or fitness, who may have a higher demand for blood oxygen.
China's infrastructure capabilities are amazing, even in high-altitude areas like Tibet.
They took more than they did if u calculate.
I love Josie. She is trying so hard to bring the content to us. Seeing Tibet through her. I can sense that she is panting a lot. The high altitude and the massive amount of walking are really not easy for Josie. Kudos🎉
Awwwww. He presented a hada(white scarf) to you for welcoming, that's so sweet of him, very special. :)

Beautiful china video from you guys.Keep debunking western propaganda and stereotypes 👏
When I went to Jade Dragon mountain (4600M), my driver bought us small bottles of what he said the local used in Kunming for altitude sickness. It's like a small energy drink size. It didn't taste disgusting. My family didn't suffer any sickness. Just a bit breathless if you exert yourself (walk too fast) .
I screwed up and didn't took any photo. Sorry, perhaps anyone going can ask the hotel staff. Does anyone knows?
Also, google how to breathe at higher altitudes. It worked and i didn't use the oxygen tank we bought. (Pursed-lip breathing)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. At my current health condition, sharing with your Tibetan travels vicariously really is heaven sent. You are a very giving and gracious person. Best wishes to your spouse.

厉害的女主播👍👍👍,青藏高原对于大多数人都会有高原反应,你已经很不错了,
Many places in Tibet are at high altitudes, so be careful of altitude sickness.
自從聽了阿姐鼓的來歷之後才知道當年西藏的奴隸制是多麼可恨,
是的女孩子们受苦了😢
現在在內地的古玩市場上還有從西藏流出來的人骨手串或者項鏈,這些都是藏傳佛教從祭祀的少女身上剝離出來用來僅供喇叭的。慘無人道,喇叭會把農奴的皮扒下來做成鼓,用頭骨做成飲具。內地政府50年代入藏後廢除了農奴制度,結束了令人絕望的殘忍統治,這讓達賴集團的利益嚴重受損,所以他們勾結印度企圖恢復農奴製,被發現後叛逃印度。這就是西方國家口中的精神領袖達賴,這個人就是個徹頭徹尾的人渣惡魔!
Enjoy your Tibet journey! The mountain tops are so magnificent!

This tour guide is really good. Normally, when we first arrive in Tibet, we won't go out for activities. We will rest in the hotel for 48 hours to adapt to the altitude and oxygen here. We must force ourselves to eat light food and energy drinks (such as Pocari Sweat). Most of the time, we will be fine after resting for 48 to 72 hours. Please remember, you must not take a shower, you must not. I wish you a happy journey, and you have just enjoyed the city closest to heaven, the most beautiful and holy place.❤❤

@@kennykhoo1689 do you really think she hates China? Use some critical thinking. She made an entire video telling anti China idiots to touch grass like 2 videos ago.
Unfortunately this commenter is upset that josie doesn’t praise 24/7 like many of the other RUclipsrs do. It’s an unfortunate consequence of social media. Josie being fair and balanced and honest means that they judge her against the hundreds of RUclipsrs who just plain lie about how much they like China for views. There are so many of them. I saw someone say that the food they were served on the high speed rail was delicious 😂 - we know this is just pandering to the locals for views, because those same people did the same thing in every other country they go to. It’s amazing how every country they visit is the most beautiful and has the best food and has the best people, isn’t it?
Josie is honest. But because of this, when she says things like “the booking process was a little difficult” or “the train was a little hot”, she receives abuse for having little observations like this.
Chinese social media netizens need to make a decision. People like Josie are real and honest. This means that those watching from outside of China get an honest picture (and 90% of what Josie says is positive, and breaks down the western stereotypes). Or they can back those that lie for views and pretend everything is 100% perfect. The problem is, those from the west can spot these sorts of fakes easily, and it looks worse for China.
No country is 100% perfect. Small criticisms of booking processes is not hating China lol.
