According to the post, this is the world’s highest train journey with an average altitude of 4500m! Man! Look at those photos! Imagine travelling on a train ride higher than Mount Kinabalu!

The train provides oxygen to every seat, and over 500 kilometres of the track runs over the frozen earth! I’m so amazed and awed by what is going on outside my little country! I think this shall be “one of the things I must do before I leave this world”! What an adventure it would be!
