Go to Lhasa by train, and the train will enter Tibet.

"Take the train to Lhasa to see the magical Potala and the most beautiful Gesang flowers blooming under the snow-capped mountains." In the song of Xu Qianya, going to Lhasa by train has a unique scenery. I have been to Tibet by car, then by plane, and finally by train to Lhasa. It took 4980 kilometers from Guangzhou to Lhasa and 53 hours, but it actually took me more than 55 hours to get to the station. It is the longest and most beautiful railway line in China.

If you have a dream of Tibet, you are afraid that flying there will easily lead to high reaction, you are afraid that private cars will take too long and cars will be too tired, but if you want to realize your dream of going to Tibet, then taking the train is the best way. The train is the safest means of transportation. You can also meet many friends who go to Tibet on the train. Everyone is heading for the same destination, a group of people who yearn for Tibet. After driving for dozens of hours, I can already meet a group of friends with the same hobbies.

Take the train to Lhasa, pass through the loess high slope, cross the Gobi Desert in Lanzhou, and formally enter the Qinghai-Tibet railway section from Xining. The train runs on barren land. Tibetan antelope, wild yak and brown bear can be seen everywhere outside the window, and Hoh Xil is just outside the window. Looking up, Kunlun Snow Mountain and Qinghai Lake passed by. Namtso flows quietly in the front, crossing the Tanggula Pass at an altitude of 5,230 meters, and you will see completely different scenery on both sides of the train, with snow-capped mountains on one side and Qinghai Lake on the other.

1-6 line needs to change to an aerobic train in Xining, so don't be afraid of lack of oxygen in the train after entering the plateau. There is oxygen on the train, and the train will really go from Xining to Tibet.

It is called Tianlu, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in Han Hongge's Tianlu, the highest and longest plateau railway in the world, and a veritable landscape road, with a total length of 1.956 km from Xining in Qinghai in the north to Lhasa in Tibet in the south. It enters Qinghai from the edge of the Loess Plateau, crosses the Qaidam Basin, runs through the two uninhabited areas of Hoh Xil and Qiangtang in northern Tibet, crosses the Tanggula Pass at an altitude of more than 5,200 meters and goes straight to Lhasa, Tibet.

First stop: Xining station

Almost all the trains from the plains gather in Xining, where they change to aerobic trains for Lhasa. Starting from Xining, the capital of Qinghai, it is more than 2,200 meters above sea level and passes through Qinghai Lake, which is the favorite of many cycling enthusiasts and rides on the lake with unique scenery. In the south of Qinghai Lake, there is a mountain pass of Sun Moon Lake with an altitude of 3500 meters. It was here that Princess * * turned to look back and shed tears of homesickness. Only by crossing this mountain can she enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the scenery outside the window will immediately make her feel that the world is vast and far away.

Second stop: Delingha Station

At an altitude of more than 2900 meters, Delingha means golden world in Mongolian. The poet Haizi wrote what he wanted to say to his sister in Delingha.

When the train passes Delingha, feel the desert Gobi written by Haizi, and maybe you can feel that kind of sadness and loneliness.

When you leave Delingha, remember to look at the scenery outside the window if you are not sleepy. The scenery along the way is beautiful, including plateau lakes and plateau Gobi. On the way, I will pass by Chaerhan Salt Lake, which is very famous and famous. It is the largest salt lake in China, with a salt reserve of 1000, and more than half of the country's fertilizer raw materials come from here. Not only is the material rich, but the scenery of Chaer Salt Lake is also beautiful.

Third stop: Golmud Station

Golmud, 2780 meters above sea level, special reminder. After arriving in Golmud, the most beautiful and spectacular part of the train to Lhasa came, and all the places it passed were places of interest. People who want to see the scenery or take pictures in the car should be on their guard. When you come to Golmud, you will first see Kunlun Mountain, the ancestor of Wanshan Mountain. Kunlun Mountain bears almost half of China's ancient myths, and mystery is synonymous with it. What will it feel like to see the Kunlun Mountain in front of you? Only experienced people know. The scenery on both sides of the train is snow-capped mountains that don't melt all year round. If it is daytime, you will see blue sky and white clouds and snow-capped mountains, and the picture is really beautiful.

After passing through Kunlun Mountain, the train entered the famous no man's land in Hoh Xil, with an average altitude of more than 4,600 meters. In the no man's land of Hoh Sicily, you can see many precious wild animals, such as Tibetan antelope, wild yak, brown bear and even wild wolf.

Keep walking and you will enter Tanggula. At this time, if you listen to the train and go to Lhasa, you will feel more.

When the train passed the Tanggula Mountain, the scenery was really beautiful beyond description. On both sides are vast snow-capped mountains and grassland deserts, and a railway runs through them. The afterglow of the sunset reflects the shadow of the train running on the viaduct of Tanggula Mountain, which is a bit lonely and desolate and has a sense of heroism.

Fourth stop: Amdo station

After passing through Tanggula Mountain, the train will enter Qiangtang no man's land in northern Tibet, with an altitude of more than 4,800 meters. Qiangtang no man's land is as mysterious as Hoh Xil no man's land. The film is about a man and a bicycle walking through Qiangtang no man's land for 77 days, adapted from a true story. Making this film is a great sacrifice.

Fifth stop: Naqu Station

Passing through Qiangtang no man's land, you will arrive at Naqu Station, where the altitude gradually decreases and you will pass Nyainqentanglha Mountain, next to Namtso, which is popular all over the network. Here, I want to say that Nyainqentanglha Mountain and Tanggula Mountain are not the same place. Tanggula Mountain is located at the junction of northeast Tibet and Qinghai Province, connecting Kunlun Mountain. Tanggula Mountain means "the mountain of plateau" in Mongolian, and it also means "the mountain where eagles can't fly".

Nyainqentanglha Mountain, located in Dangxiong County, Lhasa, Tibet, has the highest peak at an altitude of 711m, and it is covered with snow all year round. After Nyainqentanglha Mountain, I went straight to Lhasa, the terminal.

Sixth stop: Lhasa station

At the terminal, did you sleep or watch all the way?

Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, is 3,650 meters above sea level and covers an area of about 32,000 square kilometers. Lhasa has the title of sunshine city, which is enough to see how strong the ultraviolet rays are here. Lhasa is one of the first national historical and cultural cities. When you come here, you can feel the local conditions and customs that you can't feel when traveling in other places.

1, accommodation

It is suggested that you can choose hotels or homestays near Jokhang Temple in Barkhor Street. Living in a homestay is very local and the price is not expensive. /kloc-stay in 200 yuan for one night above 0: 00, and the off-season price can be further reduced.

Living in this area, you can better feel the Tibetan customs and the charm of this thousand-year-old city. At the same time, it is convenient to travel here. Barkhor Street is a shopping street, which is an excellent place for shopping and taking photos.

Next to Jokhang Temple. If you want to enter Jokhang Temple, please invite a local tour guide, around 300 yuan. It will be much more interesting to have a guide to explain it than to visit it yourself. Without a guide, you will lose your understanding of this sacred place. After Jokhang Temple, it is the city of Lhasa. Look at so many people in the square outside Jokhang Temple, and you will know that this place is really unusual.

Step 2 attract

There are many places to punch cards in Lhasa. Go to Barkhor Street and turn clockwise to pray for your family. Go to Jokhang Temple Square to feel the most devout faith, and you can also attend worship if you are interested. Go to the park behind Potala Palace and take a picture of the landscape pattern above RMB 50 yuan. Go and drink a pot of authentic sweet tea, a cup of highland barley wine and a bowl of authentic beef soup.

If you have enough time, you can go to Linzhi first and return in 3 days. Linzhi is the lowest altitude place in Tibet, also known as Jiangnan in Tibet. You can see the scenery of G3 18 National Road, the most beautiful Sichuan-Tibet line, the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, and if you are lucky in Linzhi, you can also see the most beautiful snow mountain in the world-Nange Bawa Snow Mountain.

1, Potala Palace, a landmark building in Tibet, is also the largest and most complete ancient palace complex. It is said that half the gold in the world is here.

Yang Zhuo Yongcuo, one of the three holy lakes in Tibet, is like a blue belt on the plateau.

3. Namco icon Tianmen, known as the most beautiful destination in Tibet.

4. Basongcuo, the oldest influence of Tibetan Buddhism.

6. Sapu Mountain, an undeveloped new land among network celebrities.

7. Kong Rinpoche is San king of the hill, known as the center of the world.

8. Ranwu Lake is the pearl of Sichuan and Tibet.

9. Zada Tulin, the most desolate place in Tibet.

10, the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest.

1, butter tea, 2, yak meat, 3, Ciba, 4, highland barley wine, 5, Tibetan noodles, 6, air-dried meat, 7, Tibetan fragrant pig, 8, yak yogurt, 9, Lulang stone pot chicken, 10, Lhasa sweet tea.

1. Taking rhodiola about a week before entering Tibet can increase the oxygen content in the blood. Remember to take it in advance. Altitude sickness is ineffective in Tibet!

2. After taking the train to Lhasa, remember to do two things first: First, go to a nearby drugstore to buy a small bottle of oxygen for standby, and buy some quick-acting anti-altitude sickness drugs, which are only sold in local pharmacies. Second, taking the train will be very tiring. Have a good sleep and let your body recover.

3. If you feel chest tightness, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, it is altitude sickness. If the symptoms are not very serious, don't take oxygen first to avoid dependence. You can take anti-hyperreflexia drugs first.

Try not to wash your hair and take a bath on the first day in Tibet. If you really want to wash your hair, you should blow dry it in time.

Bathing in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is easy to catch a cold due to lack of oxygen, which will lead to serious high reaction!

5. Drink plenty of warm water. When you come to Tibet, you must remember to drink water at any time. It is very dry here, and drinking water can also reduce the chance of high rebellion.

The above five points must be remembered. After all, the plateau area is different from other places. In order to have a pleasant and fulfilling trip to Tibet, it is right to pay more attention and prepare!

1, remember to bring high-intensity sunscreen products, and sunglasses, hats and jackets must be brought where ultraviolet rays are super strong;

2. You must bring your ID card. Many places in Tibet need security checks. It is not feasible without an ID card.

3. If you want to go to Ali, you need to apply for a border defense card, which can be handled at the local police station;

4. Take photos in Tibet, if the photographer needs his permission;

5. Respect local customs and don't touch children's heads.

It is a wonderful feeling to go to Lhasa by train. As a backpacker who has traveled more than half of China, I like to make more new friends during my trip. What impressed me the most was that I took a train from Lhasa to Guangzhou, only with a hard seat, which took me more than 50 hours. Starting from Lhasa, most of them are tourists in Lhasa. Everyone talked about Tibet and interesting things about their travels along the way. A sister from Gansu told the story of her entrepreneurship in Tibet. Nobody has a rest for 24 hours. We talked all the way to Gansu. Only then did someone get off slowly.

I remember when I changed trains in Xining, thanks to a big brother from Henan who helped us with our luggage and a little girl from Hubei who went to Tibet alone, she left me a big bag of snacks when she got off in Wuhan. When I got back to Guangzhou, I felt very light when I got off the bus, and it took two days to return to normal.

Although it is hard to sit in a hard seat for more than 55 hours, the experience of this trip has given me many precious memories.
