Ensure a good rest and good health before entering Tibet. Avoid getting a cold, having a fever or other aspiratory diseases. Or pluse the altitude sickness, it will be hard for you to acclimate and it is very dangerous.
For the nearsighted people, had better not wear the contact lenses. Because in Tibet the dust is terrible and the hygiene condition is not very good, it is not proper for wearing the contact lenses. Maybe you could consider using the one-off one. There are also imported contact lenses on sale in Lhasa and the price is almost the same as in mainland.
Tibet lamas never smoke, so please do not smoke in any monastery.
Don't give money to the beggars or children on the streets or temples. You could give them some little gifts as candies, cigarettes or pencils.
Take good care of your cameras and videos, as the sand and dust in tibet is aggressive.
So much here...
For me, my Asthma has been in remission for the past ten years - I come to Beijing and I end up having Asthma attacks left and right. Because my Asthma had been in remission for so long, I didn't have any inhalers or medications to treat it. Beijing's air is of horrible quality, the daily smog is thick, and the locals smoke and do it to the extreme - all of this combined is perhaps what triggered my reaction.Even if you've never had breathing problems, it's best to pack safe and bring one.
