Geregistreerd op: 13 Okt 2020 Berichten: 2

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway, as the only railway that links Lhasa railway station to the existing rail network of mainland China, is always busy throughout the year. Because Tibet is called the roof of the world, the Qinghai- Tibet railway system is called the sky road itself. Starting from Xining City, Qinghai Province, this railway passes through Golmud City, Kunlun Mountain Pass, and Yanhe Riverside then crosses Tanggula Pass and enters the Tibet Autonomous Region of Amdo, Nagqu, Dangxiong, Yangbajing, and Lhasa. The total length of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is 1956 kilometers(1,215 miles) and it's an important entryway into Tibet.

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway itself is also a man-made world wonder. The Tibet Railway creates many worlds’ firsts: the world’s highest railway, the world's highest railway station, the world’s longest track on frozen earth, etc.
