It took 22h to Xi'ning.Some minutes earlier than its schedual. To be on time, the train stopped at Lanzhou train station for nearly 1h. The people, who had already fed up with being closed in the cubics, were waiting in the long line in the train before it stopped.

When the door opened, we flooded out.

The people started to entain themselves by taking video of self-created dance, which originated from Majiang playing.

While we moved our eyes away from them, they tracked us, my husband and I, by their video sneakly.

Even it was winter, there still were a lot of people to Lasha, Tibet. Lasha is not only the holy place for Tibetan, but the others as well.

The idea was approaching to me from timeto time, probably we might get off when it stopped in Lasha.

The train has the signs and remindings in Chinese, English and Tibetan. It also has oxygen supply system.
