a.noctilux Posted May 1, 2020 Share #19443 Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) The mountains we see far away are Nyenchen Tanglha ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyenchen_Tanglha_Mountains not far from Tanggula station, altitude 5,068m ? You were in the Tanggula Express then ? Edited May 1, 2020 by a.noctilux Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted May 1, 2020 Share #19444 Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) I asked for the itinerary, not for the place, but since you referred to the Wiki-page where the track is mentioned and tells us even more, I will approve. It was a train trip with my wife from Beijing to Lhasa, more specific here from Qinhai to Lhasa through the Himalaya. In China they call it the Sky Road, duration 36 hours. The train is equipped with oxygen masks which can be used against altitude sickness, but we did not feel anything like that. Highest point in the track was 5200m and in the first photo we are not far from that point. At the point where the train began to climb in the province of Qinhai, we went to sleep and awoke a fair distance from the pass, where there was not yet any snow, just yaks grazing on endless plateaus. After the pass we descended to Lhasa on 3600m. Over to you Arnaud Edited May 1, 2020 by otto.f 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted May 1, 2020 Share #19445 Posted May 1, 2020 Thanks Otto, No merit for me, I've learned a lot Quinhai-Tibet Railway I hope that one day we'll travel there with this "sky train". So I don't take my turn. Somebody else can do. Please feel free to post next mystery photo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Van der Herten Posted May 1, 2020 Share #19449 Posted May 1, 2020 If a train ride starts in China and ends in China, not crossing any other country, it goes completely and not in part through the country. But we reached the destination, so it doesn’t matter anymore 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry but I did not follow this ‘reality’ yet, ideology often prevents to accept facts, even in my case 🙃, not only Trump has this issue. I see Tibet as a culture in many ways very different from Chinese culture, geopolitical facts aside. It was no sooner than under Xi Jinping, because of his wife, that China started with more tolerance to buddhism, just one example. Perhaps it was good for tourism too.
