This post highlights
certain places we traveled with the tour group, with very minimal
self-explorations done on our own accord. It's a pity that we couldn't go as
per our will, so I could only go to the extend in sharing a glimpse of Tibet
captured here.
I will not go into details the time spent
in Xining as it was a necessary stopover for one to rest before going onboard
the Qinghai Tibet Railway.

第 2 天 Day

As the officers check pretty strictly, I will advise you not to
bring along any form of air spray such as hair spray regardless of the volume
contained. They confiscate these air spray right away. If you are sensitive to
smell especially during the durational train ride, I would suggest you to bring
a small bottle of air freshener, it made my life easier when it comes to public
toilet in the train, probably you'll need it in the cabin too.
There will be short stopovers at some stations for not more than 15
mins. Probably you would want to just stretch your legs and muscles along the
train corridor instead of going outside.
Routes:

As far as
I have noticed that the restaurant is always fully packed. If you would like to
grab a seat there be sure to do so once you board the train or earlier during
meal time. Otherwise, fret not, there will be officers frequently pushing food
carts along the corridor selling rice sets, snacks, and so on. Each cabin is
provided with a kettle, your best meal could just be the instant noodle you
bring along with you.

Though the Tibetan Mastiffs are taken well care
of from the owner in charge, I personally do not think visiting the park is a
great idea. Whenever one pays a visit, you are funding a support for this act
of chaining and locking these mastiffs in this park just for tourism. Of course
one would need a safe parameters to watch them closely, but you do not
necessary need to visit the park as you could often spot them elsewhere and pay
to take photographs in touristy spots if you wish.
