Qinghai-Tibet Railway, as the world's highest and longest plateau railway, is known as the "Sky Road to the Roof of the World." The train climbs from Xining, Qinghai to Lhasa, Tibet, with the highest altitude exceeding 5,000 meters. It pass through high-altitude areas, where the oxygen content being only about 60% of that in the plains. The climate in the plateau area is complex and changeable, with large temperature differences between day and night, and the thin air poses a huge challenge to Tibet train travel. In such extreme conditions, passengers still enjoy a constant, pleasant temperature within the train compartments. That is because the Tibet train has an advanced air-conditioning system. This article will give you an in-depth understanding of this modern air-conditioning on Tibet trains.

Are all the Tibet trains air-conditioned?

Yes, every Tibet train is air-conditioned. The Tibet train air-conditioning is centrally controlled, and the temperature of the entire carriages is uniformly set by the system. Passengers cannot adjust the temperature by themselves.

And the oxygen produced by the oxygen generator is released to the Tibet train through the air-conditioning system, which effectively increase the oxygen conteet of the train.

Is it cold on the Tibet train?

It's not too cold in the Tibet train, as the temperature is usually kept at a comfortable level. However, for passengers who purchase upper berth tickets, it is recommended to bring some warm clothes, especially at night, because the upper berth is closer to the air-conditioning vents and you may feel a little cooler.

How about Tibet train temperature?

During sunny days, the outside temperature can reach around 20°C, but at night, it plummets, sometimes even dropping below -10°C. The air-conditioning can effectively regulate the temperature and air quality in the carriage. No matter how cold it is outside, the temperature inside the carriage is usually around 18 to 20°C.

Conclusion

The air-conditioned Tibet train uses an advanced temperature control system to intelligently adjust the temperature of the carriages and maintain a stable temperature. Whether day or night, you can experience a comfortable environment in the compartment, avoiding the impact of sudden temperature changes. Slowly moving forward along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, this will not only be a Tibet train tour, but may also become an unforgettable plateau memory of your life.
