Thank you for your inquiry.

This Z324 departs from Lhasa and runs every next day to Chengdu. It is not in service on Oct 17. You can change to other rides instead. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Perhaps no. Time is really tight. The earliest ride from Chengdu to Xi'an arrives at Xi'an north station at 11:36, and the last ride from Xi'an north to Xining departs at 17:50. You can check your schedule and decide.
