Taking the Sky Train from China to Lhasa is dream for many travelers. You can embark from Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Xining, or Lanzhou and take the Sky Train to Lhasa. The “Qinghai Tibet Railway” refers to the Xining to Lhasa section, which is 1956 km, stretching from Xining in the east and Lhasa in the south. You will be rewarded with the highland views such as snow capped mountains, highland lakes, grasslands, grazing yaks and other animals.

We highly recommend that you take the train from Xining to Lhasa. Ideally, you should stay in Xining (2300m) for 1 to 2 nights for acclimatization. This will help minimize the symptoms of altitude sickness once you reach Lhasa.
