The Beijing Lhasa Railway extends about 2525 miles across the heartland of the Middle Kingdom and the Tibetan Plateau. It is estimated that it has 675 tunnels and bridges. The top of the route is at 16,640-foot Tanggula Pass. I took the hard sleeper No.20 in Car 5 with just a fold-out map of China to keep me informed. Each car had an electronic sign showing the speed, altitude and next stop. I had meant to buy a soft sleeper. But it sold like a hot-cake, hard to get. In the black market, for each soft sleeper ticket, you had to pay extra RMB 1000!

Lhasa in Tibetan means sacred land, abode of the Gods and land of pleasure. It is a famous historic and cultural city in China and also one of the cities with the highest altitude in the world, hence its reputations "city of sun" and "City of Sunshine".
