Qinghai-Tibet Railway Tips
(Sun and Moon Tan)
I take the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in July this year, Tibet, and some experience can be used for and let them go in Taiwan. From Xining Tibet, mostly by train to Golmud after the transfer vehicle. Although from the map point of view, from Xining travel Tar, Riyue, after the Shun to Golmud in Qinghai Lake, but there is a Gobi desert, uninhabited, hailed accommodation easier said than done. Xining to Golmud There are 3 train, which lasted for more than 15 hours, but the berth not buy. First entered the plateau in the oxygen case, hard to sit overnight, it will greatly physically consumed. Golmud elevation of 3,000 meters, is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a remote city. Travelers to Tibet Most of this consolidation, Xiao Xie, and "call a friend cited class." Overseas FIT will need to apply for Tibet border on this card procedures, otherwise the endless troubles. Fruit and drinking water in the Golmud ready to drugs, the real journey will be hard at the back.
In order to prevent altitude sickness, was the most commonly cited is the Tibetan Rhodiola and oxygen bags. In response, some people turn a blind eye, it was regarded as a treasure. I thought it was each situation is different. Back to the opening of the Xining Tibet female students, the way he eats and sleeps without incident, while the 0 elevation of tourists like Shanghai, it may be prudent for the last. Oxygen bag about a 40 yuan, 22 yuan a bottle of medicine Rhodiola danger. Out of Golmud railway station is opposite the coach station. Need to travel to Lhasa for 30 hours -40 hours. State-run sleeper bus 220 per person, an individual with only 160 yuan, from the safety and efficiency perspective, or the state-run and reliable. By sleeper car key is to ask the lower berth, and the location front, otherwise the bumps and shaking is almost "fall into pieces." I mistakenly bought a rear upper, "Tong Pu," the ticket, but the location is also five individual hard squeeze in six individuals, over and over to really miserable. Therefore, the conditions can be contact at the local comrades, the merger import jeep rental, which is 500-600 yuan a person. But, first, quick, about 16 hours; Second, it is not Britain, it is said that the Qinghai-Tibet line of car, sitting comfortable than lying down, rapid and more than 5,000 meters through the "life zone" is the point. Car parking along the way that you can not see King, or detour to "holy lake" That's the wrong wood.
Qinghai-Tibet line row foot, for the human will is a test. Sleeper car to prepare a quilt, even though very dirty, but the middle of the night off after the Kunlun Pass, or by you do not. I brought a jacket from Shanghai, since little off too. The hypoxia is a kind of torture. Usually presents headache, chest tightness, shortness of breath, like a bad cold symptoms. The point is drink plenty of water, less food. Qinghai-Tibet-lane drivers, usually not rash, traffic jams are on the road should give way to anchor the story. Road diversions are often off the car to go the river trip in the past, stuck in the mud they have to rely on off the whole cart. Despite Qichuanruniu, although not the vertical nor horizontal, but you are a member of the car, we have to integrate the collective to share hard. Parking when everyone should get off "convenience", or else have to wait until 4-5 hours later. Because it is no man's land, naturally there will be no toilets, "Nanzuonvyou" will become accustomed.
Something to say back, car out of Golmud, beautiful scenery along the plateau: Kunlun Pass, Tuo Tuo River, five beams, turned out to Mang Kunlun Mountains. The West even worse in the summer sun 10 pm. Starting the afternoon, then crossing the early morning Tanggula pass (5231 meters). Around the first peak is the source of the Yangtze River - Gladin East Xuefeng can feel the roof of the world, the Earth III majestic rivers, the source of the momentum. Plateau climate change and unpredictable, when it rain, sometimes snow, sometimes off the hail, then fine was not a little cloud. Passing through Amdo grasslands, Nagqu grassland, Damxung grassland, Nyainqentanglha after Lhasa in sight.
