Tibet Train: why and how to take world's highest train to Lhasa
contact us : contact@tibettravel.org
Riding a Tibet train to Lhasa has become a rather good choice of travelling to Tibet with the completion of the world's highest railway, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway which is also the only railway to Lhasa at present. 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, the blue sky and white clouds, the grasslands with flocks and herds, snow-covered mountains, source of Yangtze River, Hohxil Natural Reserve, etc. Of course, enjoying the high-quality services on the best train in China is also a wonderful experience of travelling to Tibet by train.

Street Food in Tibet - ULTIMATE TIBETAN FOOD TOUR + Amazing Potala Palace in Lhasa!
Thank you to for hosting me on my trip to Tibet!

Lhasa, Tibet - Lhasa is one of the most important cities in Tibet, and a home of Tibetan food and culture. In this video we’re going on an ultimate Tibetan street food tour of Lhasa, and additionally we’ll visit the Potala Palace and some of the most significant cultural sights in the city. Let’s start eating Tibetan food! #Lhasa #Tibet #TibetanFood #streetfood
Potala Palace - To begin the morning we started off visiting the Potala Palace, a fortress dzong, with tombs, chapels, and assembly halls, and once the seat of the Dalai Lama. Today it’s still used as a monastery, and a school for Tibetan Buddhist monks. The magnitude will blow you away.
Tibetan Tea House - One of the best parts of culture in Lhasa is the tea house culture. There are big teahouses all over the city, and local Tibetans congregate to drink tea, eat Tibetan food and socialize. I tried some yak noodles, both yak and vegetarian momos, and both sweet and salted tea. Tibetan yak noodles - 6 RMB ($0.84) per bowl
Tibetan Teahouse #2 - Located just off Barkhor Street, on this Tibetan street food tour, we then went to another teahouse, this one probably the largest and most well known local spots in Lhasa. The ambiance was incredible, so vibrant and so energetic. Since I had just had yak noodles, we chose to try some friend noodles and tea, and soak in the Tibetan culture.
Dzomo Cheese - Hybrid between yak and cow - Next we tried some dzomo cheese on the streets of Lhasa, very good and slightly animaly.
Laping noodles - Price - 5 RMB ($0.70) per bowl - One of my favorite of all Tibetan street foods is laping, a type of noodle, sliced off, then mixed with chili oil and spices. It’s the perfect light and flavorful street food snack.
Legendary Yak Momos - Price - 1 RMB ($0.14) per piece - On the corner, just outside the Barkhor Street circle, is a famous yak momos hole in the wall restaurant. The momos were hot and fresh, made right before you order them, and they were some of the best yak momos I’ve ever had.
Cheese Fungus Soup - 6 RMB ($0.84) per bowl - Dolma mentioned that this Tibetan cheese fungus soup is rare to find nowadays and during this season, so we were lucky to find it. It ate like a porridge and was hearty and filling.
Jokhang Temple - Barkhor Street - One of the most important places in Tibetan Buddhism and in Lhasa is Jokhang Temple, and people often walk 3 circles around the temple each morning and evening.
Tibetan Food Dinner - Finally for dinner, it wasn’t really street food, but it was a local Tibetan style dinner where we tried a number of Tibetan dishes. My favorite was the pickled preserved radish stir fried with yak meat.
It was an amazing day in Lhasa, Tibet, lots of delicious Tibetan food, and a chance to learn a lot about Tibetan culture.
Thank you to Travel China & Tibet ( they sponsored my trip to Tibet, and they did an amazing job to cater to the exact things I wanted to do. Highly recommended when you visit Tibet.

Potala Palace, Lhasa, Tibet - China Travel Channel
From the roof of our hotel in Lhasa we had a splendid view of the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Then we saw the former winter palace of the Dalai Lama majestically in front of us
Before making the steep climb we observe the pilgrims at the Potala Kora, a circular route around the Potala Palace. Due to the short acclimatization to the altitude of 3,600 m in Lhasa and the carrying of the camera equipment the rise of 180 m caused us little problems
The white sections serve worldly purposes, while red sections serve spiritual purposes. Inside the Potala you may admire many art treasures like the Stupa of the 5th Dalai Lama, made up of 3,700 kg pure gold. The ubiquitous yak butter candles – not smelling like beeswax - might also cause some breathing problems. The view from the golden roof is also breathtaking.

Vom Dach unseres Hotels in Lhasa hat man einen schönen Ausblick auf den Potala-Palast. Dann liegt der frühere Winterpalast des Dalai Lama majestätisch vor uns.
Bevor wir uns an den Anstieg machen beobachten wir die Pilger auf dem Potala-Kora, einem Rundweg um den Potala Palast. Da wir uns noch nicht an die Meereshöhe von 3600 m in Lhasa akklimatisiert hatten und die Kameraausrüstung tragen mussten, machte uns der ca. 180m hohe Anstieg doch etwas zu schaffen.
Die weißen Teile des Bauwerks dienen weltlichen Zwecken, die roten geistlichen. Im Inneren des Potala sind viele Kunstschätze, unter anderem, die Stupa des 5. Dalai Lama, bestehend aus 3.700 kg puren Goldes, zu bewundern. Leichte Atemprobleme können allerdings auch die allgegenwärtigen Yak Butterkerzen bereiten, die nicht gerade nach Bienenwachs duften. Der Ausblick vom goldenen Dach ist ebenfalls atemberaubend.

Tibet Qinghai Express Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Tibet Qinghai Express in Tibet.
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! The Tibet Qinghai Express has already turned many dreams into reality and in future years even more passengers will experience this magnificent and unique experience.

Lhasa, Street Life, Tibet - China Travel Channel
The street life in Lhasa, the administrative capital of Tibet, China, mostly takes place around the Jokhang Temple, which is the religious center of Tibet. The proportion of Han Chinese in Lhasa is around 20%, which is mainly concentrated on the Inner City District Chengguan . Here, the proportion of Han Chinese is about 35%. Members of the army are not taken into account.
In Tibet, the everyday life and religion can barely be separated from each other, so that it does not astonish it that dealers, pilgrims and playing children casually mingle with the rest of the population.

The Jokhang temple (Lhasa - Tibet - China)
(EN) The Jokhang, (Tibetan: ཇོ་ཁང་; Wylie: Jo-khang; Chinese: 大昭寺; pinyin: Dàzhāosì), also called the Jokang, Jokhang Temple, Jokhang Monastery or Tsuklakang (gTsug lag khang), is located on Barkhor Square in Lhasa. For most Tibetans it is the most sacred and important temple in Tibet. It is in some regards pan-sectarian, but is presently controlled by the Gelug school. The temple's architectural style is a mixture of Indian vihara design, Chinese Tang Dynasty design, and Nepalese design.
It was founded during the reign of king Songsten Gampo. According to tradition, the temple was built for the two brides of the king, Princess Wencheng of the Chinese Tang Dynasty and Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal. Both wives are said to have brought important Buddhist statues and images from China and Nepal to Tibet as part of their dowries, and they were housed here. Many Nepalese artists worked to construct this temple.
During the Bon period of Tibet the temple was (and sometimes still is), called the 'Tsuklakang' (Tsulag Khang) — 'House of Religious Science' or 'House of Wisdom.' The term tsuklak refers to the 'sciences' such as geomancy, astrology, and divination which formed part of the pre-Buddhist shamanistic religion now referred to as Bon. It is more commonly known today as the Jokhang, which means the 'House of the Buddha'.
Along with the Potala Palace, it is probably the most popular tourist attraction in Lhasa. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Ensemble of the Potala Palace, and a spiritual centre of Lhasa. (wikipedia)

Jokhang Temple, Lhasa, Tibet - China Travel Channel
The Jokhang Temple, Tibet's most sacred place, is in the center of Lhasa. Along the innermost of the three pilgrim routes, pilgrims move around the temple in a clockwise direction while walking on the 800 m long Barkhor. In front of the temple, many throw themselves flat along the ground. Some pilgrims also move this way from their home villages to the temple, and measure the path in the number of body lengths.
Spinning the prayer wheel means that the prayer is being read for every turn. In addition to Buddhas and Ahats, the inside of the temple contains the Jo-bo-Buddha. It was once the statue of a slim boy when the Chinese Princess Wen Cheng brought it here during a 2 year journey following a peace agreement in the year 822. Now for each donation of around 2000 Euros, the Buddha receives a new coating of gold. As a result, it now has a round face. It is the most sacred Buddha statue in Tibet.
The sight of women laboring as construction workers is still always a surprise.
From the roof of the temple you have a beautiful view of the Potala Palace.
Since 2000 the Jokhang Temple is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Ensemble Potala Palace in Lhasa.

Der Jokhang-Tempel, Tibets größtes Heiligtum, steht im Zentrum von Lhasa. Pilger umrunden ihn im Uhrzeigersinn auf dem 800 m langen Barkhor, dem innersten der drei Pilgerwege. Vor dem Tempel werfen sich viele immer wieder der Länge nach auf den Boden, so wie einige sogar den Weg von ihrem Heimatdorf zum Tempel auf diese Weise zurücklegen und den Weg in der Anzahl ihrer Körperlängen messen.
Das Drehen der Gebetsmühlen bedeutet bei jeder Umdrehung wurde das Gebet einmal gesprochen. Neben Buddhas und Ahats befindet sich im Inneren der Jo-Bo-Buddha. Einst war es ein schlanker Jüngling, als ihn die chinesische Prinzessin Wen Cheng nach dem Friedensvertrag von 822 in einer zweijährigen Reise hier herbrachte. Für jede Spende von 2. 000 Euro erhält er eine neue Goldauflage. So hat er in der Zwischenzeit ein rundliches Gesicht erhalten. Er ist die heiligste Buddha-Statue Tibets.
Der Anblick von Frauen als Bauarbeiter überrascht immer wieder.
Vom Dach des Jokhang-Tempels hat man einen schönen Ausblick auf den Potala-Palast.
Seit 1981 steht der Jokhang Tempel unter nationalem Denkmalschutz. Zusammen mit dem Potala-Palast wurde er im Jahre 2000 als
„Historisches Ensemble Potala-Palast in Lhasa“ in die Liste der UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe aufgenommen.
