Highlights
Enjoy the experience of visiting Mount Everest. It will be a lifetime memory for you to stay overnight in the Base Camp. And the great sunset and sunrise at the top of the world will ensure you maximum comfort. Xining is considered as the beginning point of Qinghai-Tibet Railway Railway. You will take a train to Lhasa from Xining and witness the most beautiful scenery outside the train window: land of snows, vast desert, boundless grassland, snow-capped mountains and stunning lakes. This tour is highly recommended because tourists have enough time on the train to acclimate the high altitude gradually as the altitude rises, and then tour to EBC.
