Where is the best place to go to Lhasa by train?

Most tourists go to Lhasa by train to see the scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, especially in the no-man's land of Hoh Xil.

According to different situations, the appropriate starting point is different:

Shanghai! Looking at the scenery along the Qinghai-Tibet railway, it is best for trains to pass along the railway during the day. Trains from all over the world will pass through Hoh Xil during the day. However, after comparing the specific time points, the train Z 164/Z 165 from Shanghai to Lhasa takes the longest time to pass through the Qinghai-Tibet Railway during the day, especially in the no-man's land of Hoh Xil in the second half, so the train route from Shanghai to Lhasa is called the most beautiful train route in Lhasa. If you have enough time, you can choose to go to Lhasa by train in Shanghai. In the first half of the train, you can see the differences between different cities. Starting from Shanghai, we will pass through Nanjing, Zhengzhou, Xi 'an and other places, and we can see the customs of many cities. In the second half of the train, you can see the magnificent plateau scenery, which is an ultimate enjoyment for your eyes.

Xining! Except Xining, all the trains to Lhasa run for a long time, and only Xining has a shorter running time, about 22 hours. Starting from Shanghai, Beijing and other places, the train takes more than 40 hours, and the train from Guangzhou takes the longest time, up to more than 50 hours! Not everyone has so much time. Many tourists only go in and out of Tibet for about a week. If they spend three days by train, they will have little time to visit the scenic spots in Tibet. Moreover, not every tourist has rich energy to take the train, even if he takes a sleeper, it will be very tiring for dozens of hours. So it is the best choice to go to Lhasa by train in Xining at this time. If it is from other cities, you can choose to fly to Xining, and then take the train to Lhasa in Xining. And because trains in all cities will stop at Xining, it is easier to buy train tickets in Xining than in other cities.
