When traveling in Beijing, it is crucial to take good measures to prevent heatstroke and keep cool in the hot summer weather. The following are some detailed precautions for heatstroke prevention:

First, sun protection measures

Wear sun protection equipment:

Wear a wide-brimmed hat or a sun hat to protect your head and face from direct sunlight.

Use sunglasses to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to your eyes.

Wear light, breathable and long-sleeved cotton or other breathable fabric clothes. Light colors are preferred as they help reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption.

Apply sunscreen with a high SPF value and reapply it every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

Carry a sunshade umbrella or awning:

When engaging in outdoor activities, use an umbrella or awning to provide additional shade.

Second, water replenishment

Drink plenty of water

Maintain adequate water intake and drink water regularly even if you are not thirsty. Avoid beverages containing caffeine and alcohol as they may cause dehydration.

You can carry a portable water bottle or water bottle to replenish water at any time.

Replenish electrolytes:

When sweating profusely, in addition to replenishing water, it is also important to pay attention to supplementing an appropriate amount of electrolytes, such as potassium and sodium. You can drink some sports drinks or eat foods rich in potassium, such as bananas.

Third, arrange your itinerary reasonably

Avoid going out during high-temperature periods:

Try to minimize outdoor activities during the period when the sun is at its strongest (usually from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). If you must go out, try to walk in the shade and shorten the time spent outdoors.

Choose indoor activities:

You can visit indoor places such as museums and art galleries to avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

Plan your itinerary in advance

Learn about the opening hours and ticket policies of scenic spots in advance, arrange your itinerary reasonably, and avoid queuing during the hot hours.

Fourth, wearing and carrying items

Wear light, thin and breathable

Choosing loose and breathable clothes helps the body dissipate heat. Avoid wearing tight and heavy clothes.

Carry heatstroke prevention supplies:

Carry some heatstroke prevention medicines such as wind oil essence and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in case of emergency.

Carry a wet towel or handkerchief to wipe off sweat at any time and keep your body cool.

You can carry a small fan or a fan to increase air circulation and lower body temperature.

Fifth, other precautions

Pay attention to food hygiene:

In hot summer weather, food is prone to spoilage. Choose regular dining places for meals, avoid eating unclean food and drinking unboiled water to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort.

Get enough sleep:

In hot weather, the human body is prone to fatigue. Getting sufficient sleep is helpful for physical recovery and enhancing immunity.

Pay attention to the weather forecast:

Get to know the weather conditions in advance and take more preventive measures when a high-temperature warning is issued. If the weather is exceptionally hot, you can appropriately adjust your itinerary to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities.

Pay attention to special groups:

The elderly, infants and young children, patients with chronic diseases and outdoor workers are more vulnerable to high temperatures. If there are these special groups among the peers, special attention and care need to be given.

Look for a shady place to escape the heat:

When engaging in outdoor activities, try to find shady places to escape the heat, such as under the shade of trees or in the shadows of buildings.

Use air conditioners and fans reasonably:

Using air conditioners indoors can effectively lower the temperature, but it should be noted that the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors should not be too large to avoid the body having difficulty adapting when entering and exiting. Using an electric fan can help with air circulation, but using a fan alone in high temperatures may not be sufficient to prevent heatstroke.

By following the above heatstroke prevention precautions, you can better enjoy your summer travel in Beijing and ensure the smooth progress of your trip.
