Tanggula Mountain Pass: Highest Railway - Tibet

[vicked.vicky]

If a scooter through frigid mountain passes isn’t to your liking, you could always cling to the cliffs by train. The Tanggula Mountain Pass, in the Tanggula Mountains of Tibet, journeys to a height of 16,640 feet. (You can stop for a rest at the highest railway station, fittingly also found in Tanggula.) This railway connects autonomous Tibet with the Republic of China. And wouldn’t you know, just a little beyond is Wenchuan, the highest city. The famous Quinhai-Tibet highway also reaches its highest point in Tanggula.
