 This is Lhasa train station
about noon on a Friday by Confucius, 1 more photos
When I got to the ticket counter there was only one person in front of me. Where were the long lines? What about the bureaucracy?
I was told that buying a ticket to Beijing or Chengdu required advance reservations. Yet since I only wanted a cheap hard seat to Golmud, the tickets were in abundance for my Sunday departure.
It is possible to buy tickets to Dangxiong or Naqu if you want to see a couple more destinations in Tibet. Dangxiong is the station near Nam-tso Lake and Naqu is famous for its horse racing festival. These tickets are very cheap but you'll need to stay overnight in order to proceed to Golmud or return to Lhasa. In the near future I believe day trip packages to Nam-tso Lake will become available.

 "Lhasa" in Tibetan and Chinese
at Lhasa Airport by Confucius, 2 more photos
If you need to use the restroom, there is only one western style toilet in the airport and it's located next to "International Departures" on the far right as you enter the airport.
There is plenty of transportation to Lhasa from the airport, but if you fly into Gongga and wish to go elsewhere in Tibet then options are very limited. There is a road that goes to Gyangze (highway 307) but it is constantly under repair. For 10 yuan you can get dropped off by the Lhasa shuttle at the nearby intersection that goes west to Shigatse (spelled as "Xigaze" in VT database) and then hitch a ride on a mini-bus for 40 or 50 yuan.

 Minutes before landing at
Lhasa by mim95
The two hours flight was very smooth, and passed by numerous barren mountains, with the occational villages and green farms along the rivers.
You can't get discounts for this trip, which is about 1600RMB one way. [July 2005 price]
*May 2007 Update: I read that there is in fact a real permit. When I was there in 2005, none of the travelers that I met had one. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Here's the bridge into town
from the train station by Confucius, 3 more photos
The area surrounding the Lhasa Bridge is an ideal place to observe the Bathing Festival, which is usually celebrated some time in September. Use the west gate of Tibet University to access the bridge area, as the road from town leading up to the bridge does not have a suitable sidewalk for pedestrian traffic. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Ofcourse you can walk uphill, but it is a tough climb and once inside the monastery gate, you can climb also. The 1 Yuan they charge to take you (up or down hill) is worth it. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 An airplane at Lhasa airport by tompt
You can take some light painkillers for the headache, but it is wise to rest a lot. Further more it is said you have to drink a lot.
Best to avoid this problems is to climb very slowly and stay some time at lower altitudes before you go to 4000 meters.
Most visitors however do fly into Lhasa...... which is OK if you take it easy the first days. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

May 1,2005 - The much anticipated direct bus service between Kathmandu and Lhasa was flagged off Sunday, as a deluxe bus of Sajha Yatayat left for Lhasa on its maiden journey with 40 passengers onboard.
Minister for Labor and Transport Management Ram Narayan Singh and the Chinese ambassador Sun Heping inaugurated the service. "Beginning of the bus services is a landmark event that will further strengthen the relationship between the two countries," said Singh
Speaking at the inauguration function, he said that the service would, most importantly strengthen the people-to-people ties. "The bus service will be a strong means to promote trade, economy and tourism of both nations," Singh said
Ambassador Sun also noted that the new service would further strengthen the friendly ties between the two countries and play a crucial role in the promotion of tourism within the two countries. The journey from Kathmandu to the Capital city of Tibetan Autonomous Region of China, which covers 970 kilometers, will take about 30 hours over two days. Sajha has fixed the fare at US$70 per person for one-way travel. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
