Here is a good alternative to the adventurous foreigner, who doesn't just like to fly everywhere. I bet a three day train trip at 4km altitude would be nice experience. Specially when you can take one of these trains from right here in Chengdu. Read more at the link. A total of 169 China-made express trains are ready to run along the Qinghai-Tibet railway, the world's highest railtrack due to begin trial operation on July 1. The trains are specifically designed to operate on the altiplano railway of which 84 percent is 4,000 meters above sea level. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2006-06/14/content_617003.htm
