Can the elderly or children go to high-altitude places like Tibet or Jiuzhaigou?
It depends on age and physical condition. Lhasa is about 3,650 meters, Namtso about 4,718 meters, Huanglong 3,200–3,600 meters, and Pudacuo 3,500–4,200 meters. Those with cardiovascular diseases and young children should consult a doctor first, and it's essential to schedule acclimatization days (first stay in Kunming, Nyingchi, or Dali as a buffer), rather than flying directly from low altitudes. Relatively mild options are Kunming (1,890m), Dali (1,970m), and Lijiang (2,400m), but you should still slow down the pace.
