GUANGZHOU LHASA BY TRAIN |
As part of China's mammoth rail project linking the
mainland to Tibet, a branch will extend to Guangzhou
and offer direct links all the way through to Lhasa,
the capital of Tibet.
The trains are reported to have bathing facilities,
an electro-thermal warm water system, and fresh
oxygen is pumped around the train to maintain a
consistent density. As the journey takes you on the
Qinghai-Tibet rail link, the highest rail link in
the world, oxygen masks are available in every seat.
A dining carriage is available serving Sichuan,
Cantonese, Hunan, Western, and Muslim dishes.
The 4980 km journey takes over 2 days (57 hours),
and any non-Chinese must have a special Tibet visa
(available from China Travel Service). There is only
one train in service, so it runs every other day
from both Guangzhou and Lhasa.
