Xiaonan has had a cold for 2 days. Today at the Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital, the doctor suggested that it is best not to go to Lhasa. If you must go, if you feel uncomfortable, return to the low-altitude area immediately. Tibet is the place we have been looking forward to for a long time, and it is really sad to go back like this. In the end, we decided to go to Lhasa first to see if we could adapt, and planned to change the original plan to the high-altitude Mount Everest Base Camp to Nyingchi, which is at a lower altitude and has a higher oxygen content.
Take the train tonight and arrive in Lhasa tomorrow evening. It is a train sleeper on the third floor. Xiao Nan sleeps on the lower berth, and I sleep on the upper berth. The space on the upper berth is cramped, and I can only lie flat on my back, with my legs unable to bend. After getting on the train, Xiao Nan fell into a drowsy sleep after taking the medicine. At night, the train will pass through Tanggula Mountain, the highest place in the whole journey, with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. Oxygen will be supplied in the compartment at night. It was about ten o’clock at night, and the lights in the carriage were turned off. I went down to check Xiaonan’s forehead temperature, and felt that he had a fever. I immediately went to the flight attendant, and the doctor on the carriage also came. After measuring the temperature, it was more than 36 degrees, and the blood oxygen was also measured, which was still normal. It was a false alarm because my hands were too cold. When the train gradually got to a place with a higher altitude, some people on the train still felt dizzy and chest tight, so I could only sleep anxiously.
At 7:30 am on April 26, I woke up to the sunny prairie outside the window. The sky is fine, and Xiaonan's condition is also better. Most of the yellow land is bare, and some places are covered with a thin layer of grass.
8 a.m., Zhiduo County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture
Grassland ice and snow have not completely melted
At 9 am, Golmud City, windbreak and sand fixation project
At 10 am, Golmud City, the yak came out

Tsona Lake
From morning to noon, the train runs between blue and yellow at a speed of 100 km/h. Until 12:55, there was a sudden cheer in the carriage, and a blue lake appeared outside the window. The lake in the loess all over the sky is like Haizi in the desert.
12:55 noon, Naqu City, Amdo County, Cuona Lake
At 2:00 p.m., Nagqu City, the top of the mountain in the distance has been covered with snow
At 4:00 p.m., there are people along the way
After 6:00 p.m., we arrived at Lhasa Railway Station. There are a lot of police officers to maintain law and order, and you can take a taxi to the hotel, but the taxi will basically increase the fare. The poor couple choose the bus~ I also watched the customs and customs of Lhasa city along the way
The hotel is next to the back door of the Potala Palace, very close to Barkhor Street, and you can enjoy the night view of the Potala Palace (Vienna Hotel) from the room.
After Xiaolan arrived in Lhasa, she was still very uncomfortable. Her body fluctuated from hot to cold, and she felt that the altitude sickness was getting worse. She was worried whether she should go back immediately after finishing the trip.
After having dinner at the hotel, return to the room to rest. At this time, I suddenly heard a lot of noise outside the door, as well as women's screams, crying, and the sound of running back and forth continued. I went out to find out and heard that a male guest on the same floor went into shock and was calling an ambulance! Later, the hotel staff knocked on the door and said, in order not to affect your rest, change our room to another floor. Sleeping at night, Xiaolan felt that her breathing became more and more difficult, as if her chest was pressed by a stone, and she couldn't breathe in even after panting hard. He hurried down to buy an oxygen bottle, and after breathing for a while, he felt more comfortable and slowly fell asleep. He was really frightened night.
To be continued. . .
