Guangzhou is a city that has so many to offer to its tourists. Everyone will be indulged in the charm and beauty of this city once they are traveling here. And Guangzhou is also the departure city in mainland China that runs a train to Tibet. For tourists who wish to have a memorable Tibet train tour, it is possible for them to purchase a Tibet train ticket and board the train to Lhasa.

Guangzhou to Lhasa Train is the longest train route among those Tibet trains, which will take 52 hours and 5 minutes on that road. Except for Guangzhou Train Station and Lhasa Train Station, the whole journey has other 11 stops along the road, covering a distance of 4.980 kilometers. It runs daily, which makes it relatively easy to purchase a train ticket to get to Lhasa. However, tourists need to be well prepared during the peak season of Tibet tourism since the train tickets can also be sold out quickly.
