Lhasa to Shanghai Train
Like each Tibet train, the train to Shanghai from Lhasa is also especially built for the high altitude environment and equipped with advanced facilities, such as air-conditioning, supercharging system, oxygen supply, altitude display, etc. The train is also tightly sealed so as to firstly keep the inside air pressure normal and secondly prevent passengers from littering. Besides, all the carriages are installed with double-paned windows and ultraviolet filters to protect passengers from ultraviolet radiation.
The train from Lhasa to Shanghai made its debut in July, 2006. The train Lhasa-Shanghai (Z166/Z163) departs every day at 12:10 am from Lhasa Railway Station, and arrives at Shanghai Railway Station at 11:28 on the third day after about 48 hours covering a distance of 4373 kilometers. Its operational speed is also 120 km/h, 100 km/h over sections laid on permafrost. It costs around RMB1300 for a first-class sleeper berth, about RMB850 for a second-class sleeper berth and half that for a hard seat.
