Tibet: Taking The Train To The Magic Kingdom

by Confucius - last update: Nov 16, 2006

Take the train trip of a lifetime to magical Tibet

Drink plenty of this Tibetan Magic Water in Lhasa!
Be amazed by the local scenery!
Be seen by the amazed locals!

Oh yeah, you gotta do this trip, baby!
The bluest skys you've ever seen aren't in Seattle

See also my Naqu, Tanggula and Qinghai Sheng pages

To see more photos taken from the train window as well as at Naqu station, where the Tibet train always stops, please visit my Qinghai Sheng and Nagqu pages.
The Tanggula Pass serves as the provincial border between Qinghai and Tibet. I also created two special Tanggula pages for this special location, which has the highest railway station on Earth.
See fake palm trees near Tibet Television Station!

Palm trees in Tibet?

Is this a gift from Disney World in Orlando? Welcome to Tibet, where you can see fake palm trees in a downtown Lhasa park just down the street from the big Budweiser billboard.

Make sure you escape from Lhasa, even if it's just a half day excursion to some place other than a monastery, and see what savvy travellers refer to as the REAL Tibet!
