From the Tibetan Plateau to the Sea — 30 Hours Across China by Train

Join me on a 30-hour sleeper train journey across China, traveling 2,449 km from Xining on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau to the coastal city of Qingdao. Along the way, we cross northern China, pass the Yellow River, visit historic railway hubs like Baoji, Xi’an, Luoyang, and Xuzhou, experience life aboard a Chinese hard sleeper train, and descend more than 3,500 meters in altitude. From the highlands of western China to the shores of the East China Sea, this is a slow travel adventure through China's railways, landscapes, history, and everyday life.
