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.
