Take a tour to the two great cities of the orient and savor the exotic cultural delights they have to offer
Beijing, one of the ancient cities and the capital of China, has been the heart and soul of Chinese politics and society throughout its long history. Beijing to Lhasa Train tour begins with the exploration of Beijing’s ancient glory (the Great wall of China, the Ming Tombs). Leaving Beijing you embark on a train journey to Lhasa, aboard the world’s highest railway – the Qinghai-Tibet railway. As the train trundles along the high Tibetan plateau, picturesque scenes of Tibetan countryside whiz by. Owing to Tibet’s high altitude the train has been equipped with oxygen-supplying equipments. Oxygen masks are available for those who are prone to altitude sickness. In the old city of Lhasa, you will be taken on a guided tour to all the city’s major attractions: Potala Palace, Sera Monastery, Norbulingka etc.
