Spanning a total length of 1,956 kilometers, the Qinghai-Xizang Railway starts in Xining, Qinghai Province. It traverses through Golmud and Kunlun mountain region, crosses the Tanggula Pass, navigates the expansive Nagqu Grasslands, and ultimately concludes its journey in Lhasa, Xizang. Recognized as the highest and longest railway in the world, it has earned the distinguished title of “Sky Road”.
To understand the railway’s charm, let’s follow the lens of staff from the Xining Passenger Transport Section of China Railway Qinghai-Xizang Group Co., Ltd. who work on the railway. They have dedicated an entire year to capturing and photographing its ever-changing beauty, ranging from the vast expanse of the Gobi Desert to the snow-capped mountain peaks, as well as the expansive grasslands and serene lakes. Together, these elements create a picturesque panorama that showcases the enchanting transformations across all four seasons.
