TRAIN : The Shangri La Express JOURNEY : Urumqi to Lhasa Journey Duration : 13 Days Day to Day Itinerary Combine a rail journey through China to Tibet and the mystical capital of Lhasa, aboard the comfortable Shangri-La Express. In the shadow of the Himalayas and known as the ‘Roof of the World’ due to its breathtaking average height of 13,200ft (4,060m) above sea level, Tibet is home to more Himalayan peaks than anywhere else. Enjoy a Golden Eagle rail tour with a difference traversing across the remote wilderness of China through stunning scenery and ancient cities before offering a magical exploration of Tibet. DAY 1 - URUMQI Guests are met upon arrival in Urumqi and are transferred to the Wanda Vista hotel. This evening we will enjoy a Welcome Dinner. DAY 2 - URUMQI This morning we visit the renowned Provincial Museum in Urumqi, famous for having the artefacts and mummies of Caucasians who lived in the region between 1,500 and 4,000 years ago; There is also a fine collection of silk articles and other artefacts from various eras of history, as well as written materials in different languages. What most people come to see are the mummies and their artefacts and they are unusually well preserved. Until two decades ago, this culture was hardly known to historians and archaeologists, and their history and origins remain much of a mystery. The Xinjiang Autonomous Regional Museum houses the mummies and their artefacts that are some of the most significant archaeological discoveries in a hundred years and it is an excellent place to learn the history of this region.

I am also thankful for being a participant in the “Ethnic Interaction and Adaptation in Amdo Qinghai” project supported by the Academy of Finland and headed by Professor Janhunen.
