A
[Direct conclusion] 【No altitude sickness. Key points to keep in mind: 1. Henan's highest, Laojun, is about 2200m — well below the altitude-sickness threshold (usually 2500–3000m+); there is no hypoxia-type AMS. 2. But mountains have big temperature gaps and many steps, a 'stamina threshold' not an 'oxygen threshold' for elders and kids.】 Elevation facts: What truly matters: ◆ Big temperature gap: summit 8–10°C cooler; elders/kids chill easily. 3. ◆ Many steps: high stamina cost; cable cars assist. 4. ◆ Weather flips: rain/fog slippery, hypothermia risk, cabins may stop. Note: Children age and height determine bed and ticket rules, so match the ID details.
