Another Route to Tibet via Train - Guang Zhou to Lhasa

Filed under: Tibet — timwang @ 12:37:13 pm

A new rail way route to Tibet, Guang Zhou to Lhasa officially launched today (Oct. 2nd). It has been advertised as the "most advanced train ride experience in China". Why say advanced? Other than the traditional supplies like air conditioning, water supplies, heating or entertainment systems, the trains are also equipped with oxygen supplies, anti-freezing mechanisms (dealing with freezing, snowy rail way tracks), anti-radiation protections, and a very power and sophisticated recycling system where assuring no waste will be spread around the railway track for the entire trip. The interior designs of the train also incorporated accessibility. All public areas such as washroom, dining room, pathways between trunks all have specially designed mechanisms to allow wheelchairs passing through. Here are some shots of the newest train to Tibet:
