TRAIN : Qinghai Tibet Railways JOURNEY : Xining to Lhasa (vice versa) Journey Duration : Upto 2 Days Day to Day Itinerary Unlike trains to Tibet from other gateway cities, the trains from Xining depart several times a day, since all other Tibet trains will stop in Xining before reaching Lhasa. The departure time of Xining Lhasa trains ranges from 12:27 at noon to 21:27 in the evening, offering flexible choices for tourists. Among all the trains to Tibet, there are two trains directly originated from Xining , one numbered as No.Z6801 departing every other day, and the other as No.Z6811 scheduled to run within a seasonal period. Timetable of Direct Xining to Lhasa Train Train No. Z6801 is the only train that starts directly from Xining and ends in Lhasa. It departs every other day at 14:01 from Xining Railway Station and arrives in Lhasa at 11:20 on the next day. Besides, Train No. Z6811 which bounds for Shigatse can also take tourists to Lhasa from Xining. The train from Xining to Shigatse is a seasonal train departing every day.

A 3585-Year Ring-Width Dating Chronology of Qilian Juniper from the Northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
IAWA Journal, Vol. 30 (4), 2009: 379–394 A 3585-YEAR RING-WIDTH DATING CHRONOLOGY OF QILIAN JUNIPER FROM THE NORTHEASTERN QINGHAI-TIBETAN PLATEAU Xuemei Shao1 *, Shuzhi Wang2, Haifeng Zhu1, Yan Xu1, Eryuan Liang3, Zhi-Yong Yin4, Xinguo Xu5 and Yongming Xiao5 SUMMARY This article documents the development of a precisely dated and well- replicated long regional tree-ring width dating chronology for Qilian juniper (Juniperus przewalskii Kom.) from the northeastern Qinghai- Tibetan Plateau. It involves specimens from 22 archeological sites, 24 living tree sites, and 5 standing snags sites in the eastern and northeastern Qaidam Basin, northwestern China. The specimens were cross-dated suc- cessfully among different groups of samples and among different sites. Based on a total of 1438 series from 713 trees, the chronology covers 3585 years and is the longest chronology by far in China. Comparisons with chronologies of the same tree species about 200 km apart suggest that this chronology can serve for dating purposes in a region larger than the study area. This study demonstrates the great potential of Qilian juniper for dendrochronological research. Key words: Northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau; Qilian juniper; den- drochronology; cross-dating; 3585-year chronology; archeological wood. INTRODUCTION One of the aims of dendrochronology is to construct long-term chronologies covering hundreds to thousands of years. These chronologies have major applications to climatic interpretations, radiocarbon analysis, and dating of past events (Lara & Villalba 1993; Scuderi 1993; Hughes & Graumlich 1996; Stahle et al. 1998, 2007; Grudd et al. 2002; Helama et al. 2002; Naurzbaev et al. 2002; Friedrich et al. 2004; Bhattacharyya & Shah 2009; Fang et al.

Tibet Plateau – Rail Journey to the Roof of the World Travel Date 20 - 29 Dec 2019 TOUR INFORMATION QINGHAI-TIBET PLATEAU
10 Days Qinghai - Tibet Plateau – Rail journey to the roof of the world Travel date 20 - 29 Dec 2019 TOUR INFORMATION QINGHAI-TIBET PLATEAU INTRODUCTION If you have been planning where to go for Christmas and New Year, the Tibetan Plateau may be your next destination. Flying into Xining, start the first part of the tour in Tong Ren and Gui De. One of the oldest and best-preserved ancient towns sits in Tong Ren, with over six ethnic groups living together. Buildings are simple in style and they are all constructed on the rise and fall of the terrain. It is also the birth place of Regong Art, which put Tong Ren on the map, making it famous for its thangkas and painted status. Then, we continue to Gui De, to see the stunning multicolored clay scenery of the Danxia Canyon. Set against the contrasting blue skies and teal waters of the Yellow River, this is a lovely spot to spend half a day wandering and taking photos of the unique geology of the Tibetan Plateau. Heading back to Xining spend a night on the train to climb all the way up to Lhasa on Christmas eve. While Lhasa may be cold for most of us in winter, it is warm for the mountain nomads who migrate to gather in Lhasa. This colourful display is a winter exclusive not to be missed and avoids the tourist crowds during the summer. In Lhasa, we will visit the famous Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, catch the monks debating in the Sera Monastery, follow the pilgrim circuit in Ganden and explore the bazaar of Barkhor.

The Unbalanced Development of Qaidam Circular Economy
2019 5th International Conference on Economics and Management (ICEM 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-634-3 The Unbalanced Development of Qaidam Circular Economy Experimental Area and Its Solution Xiu-De KOU1,a, Wen-Jiao CAI1,b and Jian-Jun WANG1,c,* 1Qinghai University, Xining City, Qinghai Province, China [email protected],[email protected],[email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Qaidam Circular Economy Experimental Area, Park Management. Abstract. Qaidam circular economy experimental area (hereinafter referred to as "Experimental Zone") is located in Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is an industrial park to promote the development of local industrial economy. Since its establishment in 2005, the park has achieved certain development achievements, while its four sub-parks have also seen huge gaps in historical problems, the establishment time of the management committee, the number of enterprises settled in, location conditions, infrastructure and other aspects, thus leading to a certain degree of unbalanced management development. After many field investigations, this study puts forward some solutions to the imbalance problem in this industrial park, so as to provide some reference for its future planning and development. Introduction Qaidam circular economy experimental area is located in the Qaidam basin in Qinghai province, which enjoys the reputation of "cornucopia" due to its rich natural resources. The Experimental Zone is located in the center of Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai and Gansu provinces, reaching west to west Asia and south to south Asia. It is an important strategic support point in the western region. This industrial park was approved by the State Development and Reform Commission and other six ministries and commissions in 2005 as one of the first batch of 13 circular economy industry pilot zones [1].

Travellers to Tibet
TRAVELLERS TO TIBET A Selection of Eyewitness Accounts by Tibetans and Others (From 1959 to 2004) Published by: The Department of Information and International Relations, DIIR Central Tibetan Administration Dharamsala-176215 H.P., India e-mail: [email protected] www.tibet.net/www.tibet.com © DIIR 2004 2000 Copies ISBN 81-86627-30-8 Printed at: Narthang Press, Gangchen Kyishong, Dharamsala - 176215 H.P. FOREWORD Communist China’s liberalization policy of the late 1970s opened the gateway of ‘The Forbidden Land’ to the outside world for the first time since it assumed full control over the whole of Tibet in 1959. This was a turning point in the history of the Tibetan people’s struggle for their basic human rights. In the political front, it opened a new chapter by establishing the first-ever direct contact with the Beijing leadership, while in the social front, it paved the way for the ordinary Tibetans—both inside and outside Tibet—to exchange visits and meet their relatives. It also afforded many foreigners the opportunity to travel to Tibet and see through their own eyes the ground realities, in contrast with the most-trumpeted slogan of the Chinese government: that earth-shaking changes or developments had taken place in Tibet since its ‘liberation’ from ‘feudal serfdom’. Prior to the liberalization era, and since China’s occupation of Tibet, there was only minimal information trickling out of the country, and written accounts were almost non-existent. The opening up of Tibet, however, resulted in many Tibetans and foreigners producing a large amount of literature in the form of articles and travelogues through their eyewitness accounts and first-hand experiences of Tibet.
