After the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the speed is fast --- 140 kilometers per hour, and the interval is large --- one station every 50 kilometers, and traveling to Tibet will be quite convenient and affordable.
●Into Tibet base camp: Golmud
Known as the base camp into Tibet, Golmud City is located at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains on the edge of the basin, 2800 meters above sea level, an area of more than 120,000 square kilometers, inhabited by more than 20 nationalities such as Han, Tibet, Hui, Mongolia, the existing population of 270,000 people, of which the urban population of 160,000 people, is a typical immigrant city.

Attractions to be seen in the city include the Salt Lake, the Desert Poplar Forest, the Yaochi Pond, the Nachidai Divine Spring, and the Jade Pearl Peak.
●Seven sightseeing stations: you can see the year-round snow of snow-covered mountains
It is understood that the number of sightseeing stations along the Qinghai-Tibet line will be cut from nine to seven. The original rumors of the nine sightseeing stations are: Jade Mountain, Chumar River, TuoTuo River, BuJiangGe, TangGuLa, Wrong Lake, Nagchu, DangXiong, YangBaJing, its location set are the magnificent scenery of the location. "Jade Peak" sightseeing platform is located in the Kunlun Mountains about 30 kilometers below the pass, **** there are four turnoffs, two platforms, a main and a pair. It is not as long as the rumored 500 meters, the main platform is about 150 meters long and the secondary platform is about 70 meters long. From here you can look out over the Kunlun Mountains with their year-round snow and lofty peaks.
●The most exciting section: from Golmud to Lhasa
The most characteristic part of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is the section from Golmud to Lhasa, which is also the most suitable for tourists' sightseeing. From Golmud to Lhasa, the road only takes 12 hours, the length of the ride is appropriate, within the limits of the tourists' fatigue, and all the daytime traveling, can be said to be the scenery with the car, beautiful.
From the city of Golmud to the south towards the Kunlun Mountains, about 50 kilometers, the altitude of 3500 meters, about 100 kilometers, the altitude of 4000 meters, the Kunlun Mountains pass from Golmud about 160 kilometers, it is 4767 meters above sea level. From the city of Golmud driving 40 minutes will be completely in the typical Tibetan plateau environment, both the scenery out of the window and the body's feeling of altitude, will give visitors a strong plateau signal --- now walking on the roof of the world above.
●The best choice at present: start from Xining
But compared with Xining, Golmud is not easily accessible, has fewer flights, has no well-known attractions, and the standard of tourist facilities and reception capacity are quite different. Therefore, at present, tourists start from Xining by train is the best choice, although it is 830 kilometers more than from Golmud City, but this section of the road is mainly driven at night, and the average altitude is also below 3,000 meters, which has no effect on the visual enjoyment of tourists, and is also conducive to the gradual adaptation of tourists' bodies to the plateau environment.
In addition, the neighboring famous natural and humanistic attractions such as Tal Temple, Qinghai Lake and Longmusi Temple can be the choice of sightseeing for tourists who stay in Xining for one or two nights.
●From Lanzhou on board: the second choice to Lhasa
Lanzhou is 216 kilometers farther away from Lhasa than Xining, and one of the six Qinghai-Tibet line departure stations for the train, once the ticket supply is tight, Lanzhou is the most suitable alternative to get on board the departure place of Qinghai-Tibet line travel. Lanzhou now has a daily fast train to the city of Golmud, night and day.
It is understood that the future run to Lhasa's ordinary train may be adjusted to the Gera section in the daytime operation, then from Lanzhou is the afternoon departure, evening to Xining, the next day early in the morning to the Golmud, daytime traveling in the Gera section, the evening to Lhasa City. Lanzhou is a more mature tourist city, both tourist facilities or transportation are good, there are a number of attractions around the tourists to choose from, such as Tulugu, Gada Temple, Xinglong Mountain, Shifugu, Qinglong Mountain and Dafo Temple, etc., to stay for more than two nights can also consider going to Tianshui to visit the Maiji Mountain Grottoes.
●Xi'an on board: sleeper tickets need to be reserved from Beijing or Shanghai
From Xi'an on board for the choice again, because Xi'an is not the starting station, sleeper tickets need to be reserved from Beijing or Shanghai, the operation of the difficulty; In addition, Xi'an to Lhasa than the Xi'an distance of about 900 kilometers, the time is longer than 10 hours, the tourists will be a test of will and stamina. In the future, if the railroad department can be added to Xi'an as a departure station, and the train will be further speed up, from Xi'an to Lhasa full control in 28 hours or so (July 1 this year, the official operation of the Qinghai-Tibet line, from Xi'an to Lhasa in about 36 hours), that is, from Xi'an at noon on the car, the next day arrived in the morning in Golmud, from the daytime to start the Gelatan trip, the tourists is also a good choice. While taking a train from Beijing or Shanghai directly to Lhasa city, it takes two days and two nights (48 hours-53 hours) on the way, which requires tourists to have considerable patience.
