Luggage and bags: Bring a daypack to hold your lunch and to carry a light jacket or sweater. I had a big one but is was not very full and worked out well. A small one is better.
Please rate this and others tips when you find them interesting, or useful, or you like the pictures. :)

Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: At over 3000m high expect plenty of snow and chilly weather. Best season to visit is October when the foliage blooms in rich hues of gold, magenta and purple. Think Zhang Yimou's film titled Hero.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I've never worn longjohns but I've learnt to regret my decision. I suffered minor cold burns on my arms and ithe nside of my thighs. Bring enough sun block, moisturing creams and winter clothing. Better still, buy them in the Chinese cities at easily half or less the price back home.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Chinese toilets are primitive and unimaginably filthy outside the hotels and protected scenic spots. Don't forget to bring along plenty of anti-bacterial gel to wash yourself with. Even for paid toilets along the stopovers during our drive it's often a nightmare. China is progressing at a breakneck pace except for her toilet facilities. In 5 to 10 years' time I'm optimistic the toilets would become tolerable by then.
