pm | Xining to Lhasa Train (24th May 21 at 2:43am UTC)
The Z6801 is the only train from Xining to Lhasa. | Quote Reply | The distance of Xining to Lhasa train is 1972km/1233 miles, which takes 22 hours. It's an ideal place to start your Tibet train tour, as you will ascend your altitude from Xining(2,261 meters) to Lhasa(3,650 meters) gradually therefore you will have enough time to acclimatize the elevation. Xining is the start point of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the capital city of Qinghai Province.
The railway from Xining to Lhasa was finished until 2006 while the station was set in 1959. It now serves as the main station for trains to Lhasa, and all trains to Tibet pass through the city so it's actually the main train station for many trips to Tibet.
The Z6801 is the only train from Xining to Lhasa. It departs from Xining at 14:01 from Xining Train Station every day and arrives in Lhasa at 11:20 on the next day. And the rest are all through trains. The train running from Xining is pressurized, supplied with artificial oxygen, and sealed. The windows have ultraviolet filters to protect passengers from UV radiation. | |
