..THE
TRIP LEADING
TO
THE SKIES'':
OVERCOMING ALTITUDE
PROBLEMS ON
ATRAIN
RIDE TO
TBETAND
EXPERIENCE "HEAVEN
ON
EARTH''
Without any
doubt,
the recently-
completed Qingzang Railway
from
Xining,
Qinghai
Province to Lhasa,
T'i-
bet
Autonomous
Region, proves
to
be
a
unique
and
breathtaking
train
ride
on earth
-
The Tanggula Pass, at
5,
000
meter
above sea level,
is the
world's
highest
rail
track.
Nevertheless,
before
enjoying
such
"heaven
on earth"
s@neries, we
had
better get prepared.
To
ensure top
safety,
have
a
simple physicalcheck:
peoplewith
obvious heart, lung, brain,
liver
or kidney diseases or with
se-
vere anemia or hypertension should
have more detail
examinations, espe-
cially
if
this
is
the
very
first trip
to high
altitudes. Have ample rest; ensure
warm clothing; avoid smoking or
drinking; have simple refreshments
and water at
hand;
treat any upper
respiratory infections before the
trip;
have adequate supplies of all your
routine medications. At high altitudes,
he
pulse
rises to
around 100/min; res-
piration also become more
rapid;
blood pressure also rises
mildly;there
mayalso
be dizziness,
drowsiness or
agitation or even transient memory
impairment. However,
he
body
would
soon adopt
to
the
high
altitude within
a
few days; before that, take a good
rest.
