The views If you are looking for a way to see the countryside this train is a great way to do it. It was amazing to see the geography change from populated Beijing to rural Tibet. As I said the first Waking up the second morning was like entering a whole new world. The geography changed dramatically and you could just tell that you were in Tibet. There were amazing mountain views, the housing was much more colorful and there were all types of people herding all types of animals. Throughout my time in Tibet I kept remarking on how happy

night we were very tired by the time the train got moving and since it was dark there was not a lot to see.
and pleasant the people were. There were many instances where people would wave as the train went by and not only wave, but at the same time they would have very large happy grins on their faces. At the couple of station stops in Tibet you could just feel how much more friendly the people were. Everyone had a smile and pleasant look on their face. 
Overall the trip was amazing. I am very happy that we decided to go this route rather then going the quicker route of taking a plane. I will say however that I will not repeat this trip. Next time I will take the plane. After 48 hours on this train I was more then ready to get off it. The next morning when we had breakfast at the hotel in Lhasa it was heaven. And after being coped up in the train for such an extended period of time it was nice to get out and walk around.
