Lhasa Tibet to Xian Destination Reviews

Julie H

It was good but the direct train was not all on the same train. I had to change trains but the announcement in English was alarming and incorrect. From 5pm it kept saying the train was terminating at the next stop and to gather your things and get off the train - with no details of time or what happens then!!”! When I finally found an English speaker we went to the highest Train personnel and they confirmed the Chinese information was correct and it didn’t happen until 8:30am the next morning! The final train was half an hour late arriving
