Train to Tibet

From the moment I stepped onto Z164, my only ambition was to live a life of freedom. The moment I decided to go to Tibet, I seemed to hear the wind of freedom. Without much hesitation, I boarded the Z164 train from Shanghai to Lhasa and started this 47-hour train journey🚞 ⛰️Train scenery reference table There is basically no scenery on the first day Browsing your phone to relax and cultivate yourself 🕰️19:00 the next day Arriving in Xining: Change to the aerobic train (remember to clean the windows) 🕰️4:40 Arriving in Golmud: The horn will sound, you can get up and look at the stars ✨ 🕰️7:00 Kunlun Mountains: You can see continuous snow-capped mountains🌨️ 🕰️8:00 Entering Hoh Xil: Tibetan antelopes, Tibetan wild donkeys, and yaks are all here shoot 🕰️10:00 Arrived at Tanggula Mountain Station at 5200 meters: the stop time is short, remember to wear a thick coat when getting off the train to take pictures (short sleeves inside the train, below zero outside) 🕰️12:00 Cuona Lake: The blue water of the lake does not need any repair 🕰️15:05 Finally arrived in Lhasa 🚅Why take the train to Tibet In addition to seeing the beautiful scenery, the main thing is to avoid altitude sickness. The degree of altitude sickness varies from person to person, and generally people will feel sleepy, but my friends who were traveling with me didn't have any symptoms at all!! About hard seats, hard sleepers and soft sleepers Recommended by friends who have conditions Soft sleeper Soft sleeper space is relatively spacious Four people in a private room, luggage can be placed above and under the bed And there is a door, so the privacy is relatively high Another thing worth mentioning is the 35r train lunch, which is delicious! About shooting equipment Canon R6+rf70-200 f2.8 It will be more convenient to shoot with a telephoto lens However, whether it is a mobile phone or a camera It is inevitable to take photos on the train glass to avoid reflections This silicone lens hood is really useful!!! The output rate will be greatly improved The most beautiful scenery is on the road. The meaning of travel
