Train to Tibet

 

[ahojunk]

This guy is a pretty good videographer.

He managed to show the nice scenery of Tibet and Lhasa.

The whole place looks peaceful and serene.

 

[oprih]

Wow, Tibet is definitely miles ahead when it comes to wealth and development compared to its superpower wannabe southern neighbor.

 

[beijingwalker]

Tibet is called the world third pole, due to its harsh environment and super high altitude, Tibet is the hardest place to develop in the world, but we still made it.

These should eventually be extended to India

These should eventually be extended to India

The railway has to be extended to Nepal first.

Nepal will have to agree to extend it to India.

It will take quite some time before this happens.

I don't think Nepal will refuse if we both nations put pressure on Nepalese government

China and India should not put pressure on Nepal. It is a sovereign country in its own right.

Both China and India should persuade and convince Nepal that it is a win-win situation for all.

Just pressuring Nepal is not the way to go.

the key is, how much India is willing to pay for this project?

I don't see an issue here.

lndia just pays for the railway within its border, so does Nepal and China.

So, what's the problem?

已经回来，兄。

From Fuzhou to Hefei, it is like 2/3rd is through tunnels, even for the shortest and not so high natural obstacles. I understand that that's entirely for environmental concern; they did not cut the low lying hills open, instead, built a tunnel through them.

Nonetheless, the scenery is so beautiful, mountains are still lush green. Reminded me strongly of Taiwan (considering how close the province is to Taiwan, not surprising TP-FZ about 1 hour and 10minutes flight).

I have seen so many new lines being built. But the max speed was not too high, 290 average up to Hefei. From Hefei to Jinan, 310km/h. When the speed reduced to 200, I almost wanted to get off; it felt so slow.

I talked to a friend who just took Beijing-Shanghai and she told me the max speed was 380km/h.

You have, in One DAY, experienced Hefei-Fuzhou HSR, Hefei-Bengbu HSR and Beijing-Shanghai HSR!
