Tibet: the road to heaven & Everest #1

My story to Tibet.
On this post, I'll tell about how to visit Tibet, and terminal city Chengdu information.

As a prerequisite, situation for forrignners in Tibet is changing everyday.
On the past, any traveller couldn't be there for a while by some reasons.

So if you'd like to go there truly, I reccomend to gather more information.
But actually there are not much information about Tibet, my article will be useful to catch something.

Forigners must be attending with origin Tibitern guide to go everywhere in Tibet.
Honestly just hunging out at center of city is easy, but riding vhicles or entry sightseeings are forbitten.

Moreover, we have to get permition, kinds of visa with passport in advance.
To get it, we have to tell the route of sightseeing and time table.
If they are accepted, we can visit Tibet following guides, routes, and hotels.

For us, we've choosed railways, Qinghai–Tibet, not airplane.
Around the entrance of Chengdu-staition, many polices were checking our tickets and licenses.

Especially we were strangers among many chinese people, every staff gazed us.
We had to show passports, tickets, and the copy of permissions gotten by guesthouse, Sim's cozy to enter the platform.

The original permission would be taken by our guide after arrival to Lhasa.
Waiting area of Chengdu-station, it was huge and simple hall.
Signature broads were filled by lots of chinese characters.

Our room has 2 bank beds for 4 persons, includes power outputs.
In outside, toilets and boiled water were available.

After few minutes of departure, railway staff had come to our room, and tried to say something on Chinese.
While we couldn't understand, one girl from neighborhood translate to English.
Our tickets were deposited until the destination, and the plastic card were given as substitute.

The most important statement was about altitude sickness.
So we had to care about health, and sign the agreement for accepting risks.

at 20:45, the train was moving to heaven.
Our 2 nights and 3 days rail trip has begun.
