August 20, 2010, 08:15 AMLast year I took the train from Xi'an to Lhasa. Although it was a 36 hour ride, it wasn't boring at all as the landscape was changing all the time. The train goes up to 5000m, but sitting (or better lying) in my "soft sleeper" (软卧) did not make me feel any altitude sickness. It was only after having spent one night in Lhasa while visiting the 布达拉宫 that I felt really tired. There's a drug called Gaoyuanan (高原安) they sell everywhere which is supposed to help with altitude sickness, but I couldn't notice a big effect. If anything helped, especially against the strong headaches I got when visiting Lake Namtso at 4700m it was good old Aspirin.
I recommend this trip to anyone, it's an unforgettable experience and well worth the gaoyuanfanying.
