By Train

Built in 1996, the Nanchang Railway Station is about three kilometers (about 1.9 miles) from the downtown area. Trains leave here for Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Chongqing, Shenyang and other cities. Take the No.5, No.2, or No.9 public buses to get to the railway station.

On June 9th, the first tourist special train from Nanchang to Tibet will start operation. Like other trains running on the Roof of the World, the tourist train is prepared with best facilities. Twelve carriages that can hold 400 passengers are all fitted with soft sleepers. Considering the high altitude of Qinghai-Tibet area, some special facilities are added. Except for the oxygen giving system, there are 400 oxygen masks for each passenger to relieve altitude stress. Anyone who wants to take the trip should have a health checkup in a regular hospital first. The entire journey will take 11 days with a fare of CNY3970. As there is no direct train to Tibet from Nanchang, visitors have to change trains in Xining. They can enjoy the magnificent Mt. Tanglha, glacier, and grassland as well as the mysterious Hoh Xil Natural Reserve on the way.
