Xining Lhasa Train Info

Xining is the starting point of the world’s highest railway - Qinghai Tibet Railway. It is the most important transfer hub for train travel to Tibet because there are many transfers from other cities, such as Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai, Chongqing and Guangzhou. People usually get to Xining first for a short visit and acclimation, and then board a train to Tibet.

Note:

1. Due to the limited supply of Tibet train ticket, we are sorry about not offering the ticket-only service.

2. Because the Tibet train tickets are quite popular, especially in peak seasons (from July to October), please make your inquiry at least 3-6 months before your departure date.
