The Third Millennium marked the inauguration of a unique train, the Tibet Qinghai Express that travels from China to Tibet. A railroad through the Himalayas on the ‘roof of the world’ and the highest railway line on earth that leads through breathtaking landscapes from Peking to Lhasa. The journey lasts about forty eight hours and includes two nights on the train.The journey begins on a road that for much of the time runs close to the railway line and travels across the high mountain passes of the Kulun Mountains and at a height of nearly five thousand metres above sea level is a remote high plateau that lies within an earthquake zone and often encounters severe snow storms. The train winds its way higher and higher from one high plateau to the next up to snow covered mountains and into the “home of the gods“. Along with the Great Wall Of China and the Three Gorges Dam, the Tibet Railroad is one of China’s greatest structures. The trains travel at the highest speeds that are possible on permafrost, a hundred kilometres an hour and sometimes even up to a hundred and twenty!

Tibet Train Beijing to Lhasa & and Buddha Air Himalaya flight
The Tibet train is the world`s highest railroad. The tracks consist of 960 km`s built across land 4,000 m above sea level, with the highest point reaching 5,072m.
Riding a Tibet train to Lhasa has become a rather good choice of traveling to Tibet with the completion of the world's highest railway, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Taking a train to Tibet is even the top choice for many foreign tourists to Tibet for a Tibet train tour is really so impressive both because of the breathtaking scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the railway itself. Of course, enjoying the high-quality services on the best train in China is also a wonderful experience of traveling to Tibet by train.
Besides, it is also relatively convenient to take a train to Lhasa from other inland cities of China. At present, there are direct trains to Tibet from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing and Xining. Many trains to Tibet beginning from other cities will pass by Xining, Xian, Lanzhou or Golmud. Therefore, not surprisingly, Qinghai-Tibet Railway is so attractive for both domestic and foreign tourists to Tibet.
The train to Lhasa from Beijing is equipped with advanced facilities that are tailor-made according to the special elevation, temperature and other specific situations along the world's highest railway, Qinghai-Tibet Railway, such as air-conditioning, supercharging system, oxygen supply, altitude display, etc. Moreover, the totally-closed train is installed with sightseeing windows covered by anti-ultraviolet film so as to protect passengers from ultraviolet radiation. To be honest, a Beijing-Lhasa train tour is really worth a shot for the unique and wonderful scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet railway alone.

Tibet Highland Railway Song Take the Train to Lhasa
Lyrics
How high mountains
How long the water
Way to heaven is too difficult
At last there it comes
This Sky Road
Like dragon flying over the highlands
Through grassland
Over mountains
Carrying the dreams and good luck
singing songs of happiness all the way along
until the Tanggula mountains show up
Riding the train to Lhasa
To see that legendary Potala
To see that most beautiful kelsang flower
Blooming under the snow
Riding the train to Lhasa
Dancing to the most popular snow mountain langma
Drink the most fragrant of highland barley wine
Drunk in the myth of paradise

12. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Tashi, Tibetan graduate from university in Beijing, returning to Tibet to find work:
Yesterday was the first time for me to get on a train which is so cheap, and this has saved me money. For students, I think this will be the biggest benefit. And for Tibet as a whole, even more so, there will be lots of benefits. The new railway will certainly bring positive things.

STORYLINE
China's first train from Beijing to Tibet made the final leg of its two-day journey on the world's highest railway, arriving in Lhasa on Monday.
Many passengers spent the day coping with the altitude, breathing piped-in oxygen from tubes as the train passed its highest point, the 5,072-metre (16,640-foot) Tanggula Pass.
Three passengers were sick while others had headaches - both symptoms of altitude sickness.
Before the last leg of the trip to Lhasa, the train stopped in Golmud early on Monday to switch its standard engine for three powerful locomotives required to haul the train at high altitude.
After the train climbed above 4,000 metres (13,000 feet), ballpoint pens and bags of processed food burst due to the low air pressure.
Laptop computers and digital music recorders failed, because moving parts in their disc drives are cushioned by tiny air bags that break at high altitude.
The rail line is a decades-old dream for Chinese officials but work began in earnest only in 2001, after engineers worked out how to stabilise tracks on permafrost.
Aside from being a feat of engineering, the 4.2 (b) billion US dollar railway is part of efforts to develop China's poor west and bind it more closely to the booming east.
Chinese leaders hope greater prosperity will help to still calls by Tibetans and other ethnic groups for autonomy from the Beijing government.
But critics complain that the railway line will bring an influx of Chinese migrants to the isolated Himalayan region, threatening its ecology and diluting its unique Buddhist culture.

China finishes railway connecting Lhasa to Shigatse
China has completed a new railway line connecting Tibet’s capital Lhasa to Shigatse.
Testing on the line, dubbed the railway in the clouds is set to begin soon. The line which is at an altitude of 4,000 meters is 253 kilometers long. Construction took four years owing to the varying geographical conditions along the length of the line.
The line crosses the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, the deepest canyon in the world. It also crosses a 17-kilometer long area of sand. The entire railway line comprises 29 tunnels and 116 bridges. These combined together constitute over half the total length of the railway line.

Tibet by train from Shanghai to Lhasa // China
Seven hours in tibet is a road movie recorded when I traveled Tibet by train to Lhasa from Shanghai in 48 hours. A great experience towards Tibet and the Himalayas. Since 2008 and the monk revolution, the Chinese regulation only allowed group of 5 people from the same nationality to travel in Tibet but on the first of April 2013, it suddenly all changed...
After one unsuccessfully attempt, I received my travel permit from the Chinese Authorities and was able to go and see one of the most and untouched land on earth. In less than 10 days, I managed to organize my entire trip to Tibet on my own while, usually it would have taken weeks, I was lucky!
