Qinghai-Tibet Railway Journey
(Sun and Moon Tan)
Shanghai to Lhasa Tour, the easiest way is from Chengdu, in Shanghai or to the accompanying fly back and forth. However, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau traveled so there is no "roof of the world" experience. The author describes the Qinghai-Tibet line to go on their own: Tar tour Xining, Qinghai Lake, the Qinghai-Tibet line to go through the Golmud to Lhasa. Time-consuming 10 days, lying to fly, spend about 4000 yuan.
No. 1, in Shanghai before 1376 times sleeper direct Xining. This choice has the advantage of a good rest, and do not stay in Lanzhou reverse.
No. 3, the morning to Xining, you can join the local travel agency, "Day Tour of Qinghai Lake." Including the Tar, Huangzhong the original Gap, Riyue, daotanghe Qinghai Lake. Many people may be at the station accompanied by their own car rental, travel agents spend more cheaper and convenient photo tour route. The evening return to Xining.
No. 4, a small tour in Xining city, and with equipment ready to Tibet. Such as fruit, anti-altitude sickness drug Rhodiola, oxygen bags. Consumption is very low in Xining. When the night 5701 times Xining - Golmud trains to noon the following day.
No. 5, in the Golmud Coach Station, take advantage of state-run Tibet sleeper cars. The best is to find 4,5-person carpool, ride on the "Land Cruiser" and other import jeep into Tibet. Spend about 2-3 times more expensive, but it was worth. Tibet cars generally start the afternoon of day and night at double speed and smooth the way but also time-consuming 35 hours.
No. 6, late-night smooth to Lhasa has been very good. Through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the people in Lhasa, on all able to adapt to, including altitude sickness, Lhasa terrain is lower than the Tanggula pass. In general at their own expense tourists to Lhasa, mainly in the Old City of Beijing East Asia Hotel, Hachiro school hotels and auspicious hotel settled. Particularly auspicious hotel, Tibet Tour Friends of the exchange of Chinese and foreign contact lies.
Chapter 7 -9 day tour in Lhasa, and from tourist attractions. Lhasa Tour, the expensive tickets to scenic spots, such as the Jokhang Temple and other temples. If you have the energy, you can carpool departure from Lhasa to Shigatse, Gyantse, Everest, Ali and other places. The cost depends on how extravagant frugal Hom personal circumstances and bargaining power. I think that traversed the Tibetan Plateau, and many landscapes have been not what it is.
No. 10, returned to Shanghai. Lhasa to Gonggar Airport has more than 100 kilometers, the road takes 2-3 hours. To find someone to carpool cheaper than the airport bus. Proceed directly to the cities of Lhasa, Shanghai, Kunming, Xi'an, Chongqing, Chengdu and so on. If you fly directly to Chengdu, you can also bring tourism and other places. This is beside the point of.
