Chinanews, May 9 - Qinghai-Tibet Railway Corporation Deputy General
Manager Ma Baocheng lately disclosed that the company had preliminarily
confirmed four fixed train routes bound for Lhasa based on the
Qinghai-Tibet railway tourism plan and the arrangement of the Ministry of
Railways.
These four fixed train routes include the Lhasa-Beijing, Lhasa-Chengdu,
Lhasa-Xining and Lhasa-Shanghai (Guangzhou) routes. The first three
routes will be available every day, and the last one will run every other
day.
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway will open to traffic soon, while traveling to
Tibet by train has already become a heated vogue. By far, tickets of the
first six special passage train routes to Lhasa including the one from
Beijing have been booked out.
Tibet Tourism Administration Office Director Liao Lisheng indicated that
after the entire Qinghai-Tibet Railway begins trial operation on July 1
this year, Tibet expects an increase of 3,000 to 4,000 tourists every day

tourism authority of Qinghai Province estimates that after the railway
opens to traffic, the number of tourists traveling to Tibet by way of
Qinghai will rise approximately 800,000.
