Features: The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "Roof of the World," is admired for its high altitude, its complex terrain and landforms, its magical natural and cultural landscapes, and also feared for the arduous journey to Tibet. Until the 1940s, even airplanes could only narrowly pass by the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Today, this youngest and highest plateau in the world has become much closer to the world due to the arrival of a railway. What could be better than traveling on a train along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway? The train seems to pay special attention to the eyes. Someone once said that looking out the window of a train, every minute brings new scenery. The most enjoyable part of train travel is waking up in the train, pulling open the curtains, and seeing the scenery of a foreign land gradually clear in the morning mist. The wind blows, plants grow freely, and the scenery flows backward from sight like a river, as if watching a movie. When you wake up, the snow-covered plains of the previous night have turned into lush green fields of highland barley, with white clouds, blue skies, and sparkling snow mountains. The mood syncs with the rhythm of the wheels, becoming excited.

That is a magical heavenly road!" Listening to Han Hong's song, traveling on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
