Fast Train to Tibet

Fast Train to Tibet (Qinghai-Tibet Railway)

It is a great news for every visitor that Lhasa is directly connected with the fast train from all major cities of the mainland China like Beijing, Shanghai, Xinning, Chengdu and Guangzhou. It is in fact a sophisticated new railway system, well equipped with automatic oxygen supply as the train passes through the high altitude areas above 5,000 m where the passengers may catch high altitude sickness.

It has offered a big opportunity to all visitors with options. Either they could enter Tibet by train from the mainland China or after ending their overland tour to Lhasa from Kathmandu/Nepal, they could proceed to the mainland China by train so easily.

With the introduction of the fast train in July 2007, Tibet saw a tremendous boost in its tourism enabling 3,000 tourists arrival every day in high season.

The journey by train to Beijing from Lhasa is 48 hours through the scenic terrain of China and Tibet. So is to Chengdu. It is a wonderful journey by the highest train in the world.
