Tibet revisited - 2012 [Qingzang Train Ride]

I never expect myself to revisit Tibet again so soon, i.e. just two years after my last visit in 2010. In any case, it was still a very fulfilling and enjoyable trip, with a bunch of good friends.

Here are some photos taken while taking the train from Chengdu to Lhasa, during the part of journey which covers the highland railway, and commonly known as Qingzang Railway (or Qinghai-Tibet Railway).

This is a high-elevation railway that connects Xining (Qinghai Province), to Lhasa, (Tibet Autonomous Region), in People's Republic of China.
