The train to Lhasa is special for various reasons: it runs on the highest rail line in the world and it is the only train with oxygen supply. Traveling the train is also a pleasant experience.
I did not see anyone using the oxygen supply above each seat, and in general, did not feel nervousness by passengers concerning altitude sickness. Instead, I found a full dining car, where the menu had some hilarious items like "Green pepper cow" or "The spring onion explodes mutton". While having lunch here with a fellow traveler, we passed the highest point of the track, Tangu La pass at 5068m, which is also the highest railway station in the world - seemingly in the middle of nowhere. As we were getting closer to Lhasa and the landscape seemed to become colder, and lakes appeared reflecting the snow capped mountains behind them, the voices on the pubic address system did not stop to give us more information about the Tibetan "province", and the wonders one can find in Lhasa. When the train finally pulled into Lhasa station in the dark, I felt fresher than when I boarded the day before. We were summoned to quickly leave the station. Once outside, my attention was immediately drawn to a light spot in the darkness, and I was surprised to realize I was actually looking at the Potala Palace from a distance. I had arrived.
