Notes:
 
1. Departure/arrival time: The departure/arrival time of each train is unfixed. It is only listed for your reference. The real departure/arrival time should be checked when booking the ticket.
 
2. Soft berth supplement: Each train is only equipped 62 soft berths. The soft berth ticket requirement always exceeds the supplement. Here is our suggestion to choose the departure city:
 
Xining: Better to choose this city to start your Tibet train tour.
 
Beijing: Not easy to book, we can have a try.
 
Shanghai: Impossible for booking successfully.
 
Chengdu: Impossible for booking successfully.
 
Chongqing: Impossible for booking successfully.
 
Guangzhou: Not easy to book, not suggested to choose this city.
 
Lanzhou: Not easy to book, not suggested to choose this city.
 
The best way will be: Fly to Xining from above cities, and begin the train tour from Xining to Lhasa.
